Dumb Place To Stand by jgpittenger

Dumb Place To Stand

As you can see, yesterday’s wave was nowhere near the biggest. If you look carefully, you’ll see people on the viewing platform on right (lower than the top of the wave) and a foolish soul with arms spread probably saying “you think that’s a big wave! Let’s see what you can give me!” standing outside the safety fence.
I am thrilled that you liked yesterday’s black and white surf and took it to the TP and PP. Thanks so much. And thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs
The person standing there (foolishly!!) really gives a powerful sense of scale here. Very dramatic favorite.

Wow... that is amazing. Those people are insane!

With the people there to provide scale it really brings out the size and power of that wave. Wow!

The human scale is amazing, but how foolish.
January 3rd, 2020  
Wonderful timing and great catch of the person being a fool! Thank goodness it didn't end badly for him. Wonderful sense of scale. Fav.

Oh my! excellent capture and perfect title.
January 3rd, 2020  
Love the scale with the people. It's sad and scary to see people being foolish.
January 3rd, 2020  
Nice capture. Crazy people.
January 3rd, 2020  
Beautiful capture
January 3rd, 2020  
Oh my goodness; wild shot!
January 3rd, 2020  
Good Lord! Thats all I can say! Glad you didn't photograph him falling down that mighty cliff!
January 3rd, 2020  
What an idiot! Great image though.
January 3rd, 2020  
Awesome capture. And that's the way that these people get washed over, they are probably making a selfie of themselves.

Fabulous image! And yes people can be so stupid when it comes to standing on a rock next to gigantic waves. Kept seeing on the news that a man was was washed off a rock by a giant wave a few days ago. Miraculously he survived!

That is a great photo capturing natures power. The onlookers give the photo an immense sense of scale. Like all the best photos it tells a story all by itself. Fav
January 3rd, 2020  
some people just can't help themselves
January 3rd, 2020  
Wow
January 3rd, 2020  
How stupid is that!! Some people ignore the power of the sea at their peril!!
January 3rd, 2020  
Wonderful shot.
January 3rd, 2020  
There is so much to love about this photograph that I couldn’t click the fav button fast enough! Well done!
January 3rd, 2020  
It's a very dramatic image... stupidity can have its uses it seems!
January 3rd, 2020  
Great timing. I hate such people. When something happens to him, the rescuer will have to help him by risking his own life.
January 3rd, 2020  
lovely fav
January 3rd, 2020  
Great capture, that kind of stupidity makes me so angry!
January 3rd, 2020  
Fav image always one brainless idiot with no idea of the power of the sea.
January 3rd, 2020  
Stunning picture! It amazes me how idiotic people can be - they put themselves in danger, but also others, namely the rescuers trying to help.
January 3rd, 2020  
The people sure put it into perspective - great shot!
January 3rd, 2020  
Super action capture
January 3rd, 2020  
Great capture but shame about the idiots!
January 3rd, 2020  
Wow love this wave!
January 3rd, 2020  
Wow - that little person puts it all in perspective - that is one BIG wave! :)
