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.
This powerful wave hit at the peak of high tide in one of the many coves in Santa Cruz. I just happened to be setup with a fast shutter speed and managed to capture this image, showing some of the power of the ocean. The green light is due to the sun's position shining through the thinnest parts of the wave.
A view of the beach, crashing waves, and Champagne Pools along 75 Mile Beach on Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia. The saltwater pools are a great way to cool down on a hot summer day!
Our bungalow had no glass windows- only screens and wooden shutters- so the sound of the ocean waves was very audible when we were inside. It was nice to be lulled to sleep around 10 p.m. while the tide was still sort of low but, every morning around 3 to 4 a.m., it sounded like the waves were about to crash through our door. Phil said he was having dreams about tsunamis. I never got up to see just how close the water was at 4, but this shot shows how close it was to the verandah at 6:30 a.m.

Sanderlings are small members of the sandpiper family. They are ubiquitous on Carolina shorelines and are absolutely hilarious to watch. They run really fast and appear to constantly play a game of chicken with the incoming waves!! They prefer to congregate in the littoral area where they eat small crustaceans and mollusks.

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.

The famous pancake rocks in Punakaiki where one of the planned highlights of our trip. Pancake rocks, the ocean, beautiful sunset, red sky, a sunstar,...that was the image I had in mind for this location. How wrong could I be. We were given the remnants of a class 2 cyclone...lol. Harsh winds, a half a meter of rain, moody skies and a real difficult setup for the tripod. But hey, the only thing you can do...is use the conditions you get. And for me, this turned out to be one of thé best images I've shot in New Zealand.
Typhoon swell crashing into falls over harbour walls all up the east coast. So fun to watch. I didn't want to leave and go to work.
