Norah Head Beach

If you look really closely at this picture you may be able to spot a fisherman on the rocks in the distance. He is just to the left of the furthest breaker. There is also another fisherman on the rocks further to the left too, but he isn't as easy to spot.

The waves were covering the rocks at times and I hope the fishermen were wearing life jackets, but I doubt it.

A friend of ours is a retired helicopter air sea rescue pilot and medic and he has covered many drownings of fishermen on rocks during his career. So if you are a rock fisherman or woman please wear a lifejacket, it could save your life.

beautiful wild scene

Beautiful coloured layers, timing and depth of field Babs, yes noticed the fisherman, but must confess it was on the large monitor with my glasses on, eyes aren't as good as they once were, lol:)

Lovely seascape. I hope he was wearing a life jacket too. (And I did find him too :)

Fabulous photo. I do hope the fishermen were wearing life jackets, especially as there has been so many drownings the last year of people washed off the rocks.

It is a bit desperate for fish, I think I saw the second fisherman and god bless them.

Gorgeous seascape, I don't like to see fishermen on the rocks...

April 18th, 2016  
looks a bit risky to me. wonderful shot
April 18th, 2016  
A lovely capture of nature at its finest.

Yes, it is can be very dangerous, you just never know when that big one may come and wash you off the rocks. Very nice with all the waves breaking. Looks like a lovely spot.

A fantastic wild seascape ,gorgeous colour tones and layers ! And yes I can see a silly man fishing in what seems to be a dangerous spot -- he must be desperate for a fish !! lol !!

A great shot Babs. I am amazed at the risks that some fishermen take :)
April 18th, 2016  
Great capture of wave movement
April 18th, 2016  
A beautifully composed shot Babs. I love all the layers of colours with the wave action. I can just image hearing the way crashing sounds, its music to my ears. :) FAV

Beautiful scene. I hope that they do have life jackets, but as you say they probably don't!
April 18th, 2016  
Great rolling waves, a super shot. Fav!! 😃

Cool, refreshing and beautiful!

This is lovely Babs, I love the sea and you've captured the wildness of it perfectly for me.
April 18th, 2016  
What a wonderful ocean shot, love all the surf.
April 18th, 2016  
I can see them both, and think they are both crazy. The waves seem quite rough.
April 18th, 2016  
Those crazy guys! I wonder if they ever get swept off the rocks.
April 19th, 2016  
Those teeny figures really convey the majestic scale. And I do love the layer upon layer here
April 19th, 2016  
I did't realise the scale of this picture until I saw the fishermen.
April 19th, 2016  
@pcoulson Well done, they aren't easy to spot.
April 19th, 2016  
@888rachel I think they would only be swept off once if they haven't got life jackets.
April 19th, 2016  
@365projectorgjenfurj There have been two drownings near us in the last few weeks and that wasn't even on rocks. People don't think sometimes do they.
April 19th, 2016  
Beautiful :)
April 19th, 2016  
Nice foreground interest leading to those rocks and waves, beautiful shot. Fav
