Ocean Force

"Ocean Force"

Do you know those moments when something captivates you so deeply that time seems frozen in that very second? This was my experience over and over again at the beginning of 2014, when I had the joy of visiting the Pacific Ocean at Morro Bay, California. As always when I go to the coast, my favorite thing to do is sit on the beach and capture the waves. On this particular time though, I had a special treat. There was going to be a storm coming into California, and not only was it high tide, but a high surf warning was also issued. I stopped at one beach so that I could take pictures of the Elephant Seals that were traveling through the area, and decided to walk out to the pier to see the view of the beach. I happened to notice a person trying to snap a picture of one of the seals while the waves were growing in size. It was the perfect time to catch the shear size of the ocean's force. I started taking photos of the waves, and all of a sudden, a huge wave rolled in, crashing on a lone rock. The man on the beach looks dwarfed by the size of the powerful water burst. These are the moments in nature that take my breath away.
