the power of water is amazing as i was taking this shot i could feel the ground shake under me when the waves crashed onto the rocks
Rough surf at Pebble Beach, California. The different tonalities in the rocks, water, background terrain and white-cap wave made it a natural for black & white conversion.
Most of us have felt the fascination of the wave. The waves of the sea, which are the prototype of all the phenomena which we now call waves, are perhaps the most fascinating of all. Great as is the beauty of their form, the mystery of their motion is the greater charm. For while they move they live and have a being, which, like our own, is but momentarily associated with the matter of which they are formed. The wave preserves its individuality, it’s recognisable through not unchanging form, its energy, party active, partly in reserve, whilst its material substance is constantly rejected and renewed. Of all manifestations of the inorganic world it is most like a living being. Yet when we watch it to its end we find none of the sad accompaniments of the exhaustion of life. It is at its most beautiful at the last, as it culminates to its fall and breaks in seething form.

I was really fortunate to have this lovely sunset light at Cape Kiwanda SP. The endless battle between the ocean and sandtone caught my attention. You can feel the power only when you are there. This is one single image. No HDR was used.
Any comment is welcome~
Taken in March of '09, this reminds me of a photo my father took maybe 30 years ago, probably of the same beach.
Waves are incredibly powerful yet at the same time mysterious, it is sometimes hard to tell what they will do next. This photograph from cornwall looks down onto waves battering the hard craggy rocks from all directions, creating a band of pastel blues clashing with the soft whites.
The changing pier at Webster Park. The ice buildup has shortened the cove and begun to take shape. Should be interesting to see what it turns into! 20160123-DSC_4882
