The Pacifica Pier looking a little worn and taking a beating from a massive swell the day of the Mavericks Surf Competition a few miles south in Half Moon Bay.
Rialto Beach is a public beach located on the Pacific Ocean in Washington State. It is adjacent to Mora Campground in the Olympic National Park near the mouth of the Quillayute River, and is composed of an ocean beach and coastal forest. The many miles of seaside topography offer views of sea stacks and rock formations in the Pacific Ocean.

An abstract and dynamic capture of ocean waves in motion, blending deep blues with splashes of white foam. The blurred textures and expressive movement evoke the untamed power of the sea, turning water into a canvas of energy and emotion.
Here's a rarity for me. An (almost) untouched photograph, just a miniscule amount of photoshop to highlight the waves. Sometimes you just have to let nature be the artist.
ps. I got very, very wet, but it was worth it.
Title: Eternal Sentinels: The Fury and Beauty of the Coast
Description: Embark on a visual journey exploring the solitary majesty of lighthouses standing firm against the raw power of nature. This collection captures the diverse moods of the ocean, ranging from the terrifying height of rogue waves and the freezing grip of winter ice storms to the serene golden hour on rugged cliffs and the isolation of tropical outposts. Each frame is a study in atmosphere, lighting, and the eternal battle between the sea and the stone, rendered with cinematic photorealism.

I will forever be humbled by the countless sea stacks that stand the test of time on the Pacific Coast. With a constant crashing, pounding, and the relentless ocean dynamic, they remain standing for centuries upon centuries. I visited these stacks two mornings in a row, and had the location to myself for both shoots. I don't get over to the coast that often, so it was a real treat to be able to spend a couple mornings with these two old friends, the sea stacks at Garrapata State Park.
For this photograph, I chose to shoot a single shot for the waves, rocks and sky, but also shot another image focused on the foreground rocks to get more definition. This is always tricky business, as it also slightly changes the focal length, but I felt that this shot would be a relatively easy blend and it would benefit from having sharper rocks in the foreground... as the take up a good 1/3 of the shot.
The glow from the rising sun was brilliant, and I was able to witness a couple of rainbows behind these rocks as well. The power of the surf at this beach demands respect.

The sunrise was kind of bland, so I had to put focus on something else. The waves were small and the tide was low, so I was able to go out into the water and capture waves hitting this rock.
Pelicans skim the waves near the shoreline of Canon Beach, Oregon early on a morning in late December. Sunlight is refracted through the prism of sea spray into the colors of the spectrum.
While views like this are incredible, it certainly explains why cruise and container ships alike enter the island of Curacao through Santa Anna Bay on the South side of the island! Giant Caribbean waves crash into the volcanic lava formations comprising most of this beautiful island. This photo was taken from the Boka Tabla inlet within the Shete Boka National Park.

The waves were rolling in last week on the Oregon coast.

A rather wild northerly wind was blowing, causing the boiling pot today ............. couldn't believe that this fishing boat had been out in it ...........

I took this yesterday, just prior to a huge crashing wave ~ shown earlier in my photo stream!
This was Storm Ciara showing just how strong it was I was literally hanging onto a post at the same time as I took this shot due to the strength of the wind!!

The sunrise glow hitting Newhaven's lighthouse and breakwater, along with a crashing wave. This was supplied by Storm Aileen.
High waves begin to crash in on the lava shelves of Cape Perpetua National Monument's Cook Chasm as the high tide returns to replenish the tide pools. Yachats, Oregon

A fisherman chilling out on Southsea beach. Off to the left is Southsea Pier, which soon we'll be able to walk out on again (Yay!). Out on the horizon is a selection of the ships we get off our coast, and also you can see Horse Sand Fort, an old seafort built in the late 1800's. Just off to the right is part of the Isle of Wight. To me it's always an interesting view to look out on.
Please, have a bigger look, by hitting 'L' , then viewing Full Screen.
Fearless kids are the same the world over, aren’t they? “Yeah, I dare you – come and get me!”
And as the surf comes crashing in, they turn round and run, laughing all the way. Then they do it again. And again. Nha Trang beach, Vietnam.

Loved the way the sunlight caught this wave ...............
Small boats used to pass through the Umanose Arch during high-tide until the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake lifted the seabed up by about 1.4 meters (4.6 ft) bringing the entire arch above sea level and creating a newly exposed rocky coastline.
We were "hit" by this horrible storm, today! I took the car down to the beach ... it's less than a five minute walk, under normal conditions and discovered that the esplanade was deep in sea water! I sat in the car and took this shot with the window down but still got blown about quite a bit hence not the best of focus!!
We had 90mph winds accompanied by a Red Warning ... absolutely horrible!!

This shows what stormy seas can look like on the shore of Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island, Maine. The level 1 hurricane was actually about 200 miles offshore but it hit at high tide.

At Grand Haven, the red lighthouse stands firm against the fury, battered incessantly as the lake hurls itself against the pier. When the gales rise on Lake Michigan, the shoreline becomes a place of reckoning. When the spray explodes into the sky and light catches the chaos, strength and beauty meet in perfect defiance.

After my last photo tribute to the Edmund Fitzgerald. I thought this image might help my Flickr friends of distant places picture how what is called a Lake can be so big and destructive.
Please enjoy the powerful details in Large.
Thank you so much for your visit!

Angry surf on the Sonoma Coast, northern California, taken late evening.
Canon Elan 7; Fuji Velvia 50 film; Canon 70-200mm f/4 lens.
Hurricane Bill was over 100 miles offshore from Acadia National Park but was close enough to create huge waves that battered the coastline and created a dangerous situation for those who did not understand the power and unpredictability of waves.

Taken at Cape Chignecto Provincial Park, which is located along the Bay of Fundy, in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Although not religious at all, I still marvel at the beauty of the world and often ponder the origins and fate of the universe. I admire the religious traditions and beliefs of others but for me science is my religion. Taken with a Pentax 645 medium format camera here in my home town of Pacific Grove, California.
