Rogue Wave by graemestevens

Rogue Wave

This is the shot where I truly got wet feet, but as they were already slightly moist I made an executive decision and didn't bother to scurry backwards when a rogue wave hurtled itself up the beach, instead walking away with a tide line just below the knees.
Ah, color...just gorgeous!

Beautiful shot! I really need to come and visit your part of the world. Avoiding all redneckery of course. The beaches look beautiful.

Fantastic shot - and good to get the whole story!! Beautiful.
August 19th, 2015  
Hate it when that happens

Ha ha! I'd say it was worth it - this is beautiful!

it must be cold.
August 19th, 2015  
Funny - I usually wear my gumboots, but think this wave might've been just over the top of my red bands!
A lovely image and worth getting your feet wet for.

Fantastic lighting. Good to see the sun is shining somewhere in the world.
I have learned my lesson while visiting the beach with a camera. Always take a spare pair of shoes and pants. Because you are more than likely going to end up a little moist.
August 19th, 2015  
That's 'hurtling'?!! And I was almost feeling sorry for you! Great colours though, well done :)
August 19th, 2015  
It was well worth getting wet for! Truly magnificent sea capture, even better on black. A big fav.
August 19th, 2015  
Worth the wet legs, great shot

@soboy5 Thank you very much, much appreciated
@mothermalarky It did hurtle to get there, this is on the way out again...I took the liberty of some time to recover and curse...
@karlow75 I'm all in favour of moistness but this was down right sopping, dripping wet
August 19th, 2015  
The camera! The camera! Sod your legs, how's the camera?
August 19th, 2015  
gotta love a rogue wave
August 20th, 2015  
This is a gorgeous sunset, with a beautiful reflection. fav.
August 20th, 2015  
@yrhenwr It made it through, but only just - I think I should probably by a new one, just to be sure...
@annied No, no you don't
@mollytrudgeon Thank you very much indeed ;)
August 20th, 2015  
@graemestevens ha ha I've been dumped by one many a time
August 20th, 2015  
@annied I've been dumped on as well, but usually not by a wave...
August 20th, 2015  
@graemestevens that's okay! :)
August 20th, 2015
