The weather service was broadcasting high surf warnings for the entire day, and as usual, instead of heeding the advisory as a warning, residents, including yours truly, flocked to the beach to surf, gaze, and of course to take pictures. Crashing waves and a sunset? Say no more, I'm there!
What timing! Lovin' the splash up against that rockin' sky. Maybe the weather guys should just say nothing if they want people to stay away from the danger...
Perfect timing with the bird flying by! Fabulous colours! What dramatic sunsets you get! There have been weather warnings here too down the North East coast - high tides and wind - huge waves crashing onto the promenades. Mad people with cameras living dangerously! What we do for a photo!
@lyndemc Well, others, not the weather guys did announce one way to keep folks away. Just a half mile or so north of here I learned (as I was driving home from shooting this) that a large section of the beach was closed due to a discharge of raw sewage. That'll keep me away at least! Thanks for the response, Denise, and I hope you're having a ball in the Rockies.
Thanks Lou Ann. You can pretty much count on birds getting in the shots in this area. They seem to enjoy taunting the waves by sitting on the rocks and when a breaker comes crashing in, they scatter and then fly back down to the rocks again. They're either having fun or they're morons I've decided.
@olivetreeann Thanks Ann. Good to hear from you! It wasn't too dangerous, although the tide was rising and those of us down on the beach risked getting stranded. I left when the sun set, but some of the others remained. I hope they got out!
Lovely shot. You captured the moment perfectly. Every element in it is just about perfect. The lighting. The sun position. The bird flying, but particularly the wave splash. Wonderful Fav
