Another Lost World pic, this time with customs of Breaker and Joe Colton.

 

The lizards in the back are dollar store dinos, the orange makes them stand out nicely in the pics.

 

This setting is my way of bringing the '70s Adventure Team feel into ARAH.

Waves hit the breaker in Waikiki, Oahu, Hawaii, at sunset, July 2014

Waves breaking onto a Norfolk beach.

Whenever i see a windmill it reminds me of my younger days.... Its kinda weird because it reminds me of breakdancing... In breakdancing terms. The windmill is when

the breaker rolls his torso continuously in a circular path on the floor, across the upper chest/shoulders/back, while twirling his legs in a V-shape through the air.

   

Waves generated by a tempestuous Lake Michigan break on the beach at Warren Dunes State Park, Berrien County, Michigan.

The beach on Cape Cod in Spring. It was so peaceful and free from tourists at this time of year!

 

Thanks for viewing :)

The Florida East Coast Hotel Company selected the architectural firm Schultze and Weaver, which later designed the Waldorf-Astoria, Pierre, and Sherry Netherlands hotels in New York City, to rebuild The Breakers. During an earlier trip to Rome, Leonard Schultze had admired the Villa Medici (1575) and decided to use this building, Italian Renaissance in design, as the architectural inspiration for The Breakers facade.

 

On December 4, 1925, the New York City-based Turner Construction Company signed a contract to build the new seven-story Breakers. Construction began in January 1926. More than 1,200 construction workers labored around the clock, while 72 artisans from Italy completed the magnificent paintings on the lobby ceilings. The immense structure was completed for $7 million in a scant 11½ months and opened on December 29, 1926, just in time for the start of the Palm Beach season.

 

Exceeding everyone's expectations, the hotel opened showcasing a 200-foot-long main lobby with an arched, hand-painted ceiling; a vast Florentine Dining Room, richly decorated with a beamed ceiling modeled after the Palazzo Davanzati (ca. 1400) in Florence; magnificent North and South Loggias; and shaded terraces and landscaped patios.

 

Far grander than its predecessor, The Breakers was more than America's greatest winter resort, it was an unrivaled masterpiece. The Architectural Forum praised The Breakers as “without doubt one of the most magnificent, successful examples of a palatial winter resort hotel,” (May 1927). The president of Turner Construction Company reported soon after the opening, “Those who know, say it is the finest resort hotel in America, and it is not likely that the circumstances of ownership, time, and place will produce its counterpart in years to come.”

 

Now in its second century, The Breakers continues the tradition of excellence started by Henry Morrison Flagler. Today it remains one of the few, privately-owned resorts independent of chain affiliation. The heirs to the original ownership have successfully maintained and revitalized the hotel, keeping with the Flagler tradition and spending millions on renewal and expansion. With their commitment, capital expenditures averaging $30 million a year continue to be reinvested, ensuring The Breakers remains energized and alluring to future generations.

View of Breaker Bay from the Eastern Walkway. The waterbody beyond is the entrance to Wellington Harbour. To the right is Cook Strait and the South Island. The wind through here is quite strong, one of the reasons why Wellington is regarded as one of the windiest cities in the world.

In the background The Dutch Cap aka The Sombrero, The Fried Egg etc

Same general area as previous photo.....I tried a faster shutter speed here to freeze the wave action. It took a few tries but I managed to capture one. Prints sold here:
