Storms on Christmas Eve 2013 with waves crashing over the West Pier of Whitehaven harbour shortly before dark near high tide.
A stormy Atlantic Ocean crashing in on the natural lava pools in Porto Moniz, making swimming there impossible that day. I found it fabulous to just watch the waves rolling in, breaking on the rocks, creating huge amounts of spray and generally making a lot of noise.
There's really not much more to do in Porto Moniz anyway...
especially when you surf...you never get tired of looking at waves...see if they're rideable or not. mother ocean always has a new picture for you

Holiday weekend and the town is full to bursting with tourists. The local economy gets a much needed boost with Fish 'n' Chips on the menu for many.
More images from the day's shoot to follow.

Wave in the ocean is never still. Whether observing from the beach or a boat, we expect to see waves on the horizon. Waves are created by energy passing through water, causing it to move in a circular motion. However, water does not actually travel in waves. Waves transmit energy, not water, across the ocean and if not obstructed by anything, they have the potential to travel across an entire ocean basin.
Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. These types of waves are found globally across the open ocean and along the coast.
Shot with the Cosina Ultron 40/2...
This is a nice little monster of a lens, I did not like the hood that much -- good stray light protection but really bad elbow shield, so I used the the Nikon HN-3 hood, it is a bit big, worse light shielding but way better protection :)
One of my sharpest lenses, and too sharp for some things even wide open!! ...this essentially makes it VERY critical to hit focus and very trivial not to!
The focal length is a bit odd, my head keeps framing the picture either as a 50mm or as a 35mm and then I get surprised when/if I look through the VF... yes, I frame in my head and not in the viewfinder :)
I seem to have become a fan of Cosina, three cheers for Mr. K!! ;)
