Dawn Rip-Wave, Atlantic Ocean
THE SUN o’er the waters was throwing
In the freshness of morning its beams;
And the breast of the ocean seemed glowing
With glittering silvery streams......... Kendall
Beyond the sea, beyond the sea,
My heart is gone, far, far from me;
And ever on its track will flee
My thoughts, my dreams, beyond the sea.
Beyond the sea, beyond the sea,
The swallow wanders fast and free:
Oh, happy bird! were I like thee,
I, too, would fly beyond the sea.
Beyond the sea, beyond the sea,
Are kindly hearts and social glee:
But here for me they may not be;
My heart is gone beyond the sea.
Thomas Love Peacock
I travel to a location where, under certain conditions, huge and
powerful rip-tides develop. The powerful rip-tide, going back out to
sea, crashes into an incoming wave, thus producing tremendous energy
and rare waves such as this one. It's like witnessing a head -on
collision! The conditions were perfect today for rip-tides; wind, high
tide, very rough surf, due to a big coastal storm and a full moon
extra high tide. Great sunrise light also helped with capturing a rare
event. Thanks for your very kind comments and interest.

That's really strange?
It's one hell of a well-timed shot but those waves are like nothing I have ever seen! What on earth caused them to fan-out like that?
