Visiting the shore is essential for good health.. I prescribe that you do it more often! I took a lot of shots like that yesterday ... bigger, more disorderly waves... there might have been birds but mostly I kept my head down!
@yrhenwr I was aiming to take some pics underneath the pier looking out between the legs but just as I got there so did the tide! The waves seemed bigger further away but as I walked towards them they seemed to retreat. Then it rained. I gave up!
