In this picture, you can see some people out on the rocks. Those people are idiots. That shelf is frequently hit by massive waves. Standing there, you risk getting hit by a hundred foot tall wall of water, which will drag you back down the jagged rocks, into the ocean, where smaller waves will buffet you against the rocks. It will be too dangerous to rescue you. (And if you're not knocked down and pulled to your death by the wave, you're going to get very, very wet.)
Massive waves crash ashore at Shore Acres State Park, near Coos Bay, OR. Some of these waves send water up to a hundred feet in the air. One of the best places to view the show is near the old tennis courts, north of the parking lot.
Tourist Tip: If you see someplace that's wet, don't stand there. It's wet because a massive wave just drenched the area, and there's a good chance another one will hit within a few minutes, often with little warning. Even if you're within the fenced-in areas, be prepared to be hit by the spray from the waves.

I wanted to experiment with waves on a slow shutter speed, but I really could have done with an ND filter. I waited for the sun to go down, put the tripod up on the sea wall, set the camera on the lowest ISO and the smallest aperture and waited for the waves to come crashing in.
The light faded fairly fast, and as it did, the stones took on some of the warmer colours from the street lights, and the sea a most peculiar almost purple hue. I was almost spooky.

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.

Upon arrival in Iceland we were met by news that the winter's first storm was scheduled to sweep across Iceland over the following week. With it, came 14m/s+ winds, dust storms, and harsh conditions. But, it also made for beautiful photography, fresh dustings of snow, and a proper taste of Iceland's harsh but magnificent weather.
These photos were taken over a 7 day, 2,000km road trip along the South East and Eastern Fjords.

Sunset at Point Arena Lighthouse, which is cloaked in mist created by crashing waves, salt spray, and stormy weather. Point Arena Lighthouse is situated at the end of Point Arena peninsula on the rocky pacific coast of northern California. The original lighthouse was completed in 1870, but was later rebuilt with reinforced concrete after an earthquake in 1906 destroyed the original. Originally fitted with a first order Fresnel Lens (which can be seen in the museum), It was automated on 1977.
there's something so powerful about crashing waves and the rocks that defy it.. the raw intensity of nature vs the steadfastness of nature..
