Sunset Flare on Bandon Beach

Yes, one more Bandon sunset. I decided to edit and post one more shot taken of the Oregon coastline! This was an amazing evening filled with the changing clouds and colors! I just kept trying to find the best viewpoint, composition, and most of all...keeping my equipment dry! There was one point I thought I was being smart and set up my tripod on one of these large rocks. The waves would come in and swirl around the rock and then a "sneaker wave" came in! I could hear it was going to be a big one as I was composing the shot. As the wave approached the rock I was standing on, I knew I needed to either run or stick it out. I decided on the later and immediately picked up my tripod, lifted it in the air as the wave crashed up the side of me up to my waist! Somehow, I was able to maintain my balance and was never so grateful my backpack was on my back!!! Needless to say, I learned some lessons going to the coast!
Stunning!
