It was overcast for most of the day but for just a moment, the clouds broke

and allowed the sun through to illuminate the ~25 foot (7.6 meter) swell

that was borne of a typhoon near New Zealand and had finally made its way

across the Pacific to my home. Feel free to leave your thoughts, opinions,

suggestions, or a funny story about what your cat did this morning. You

can click to make the picture really big. Depending on the size of your

screen, of course.

Now THAT is volume!

Thanks Todd, it was a pretty epic couple of days.

Awesome!!

Just plain COOL!. I really enjoyed the detail in the wave. Great capture!

Simply epic!  Great shot.

Thank you Thomas and Starke ("Thomas & Starke", sounds like a TV show or a law firm, LOL).  The power of this swell was like nothing I'd ever experienced, from the shore you could feel the thunderous concussion of the waves as they crashed.  It filled the air with a salty mist that hung like fog as wave after wave came ashore with relentless predictability.  Surfers, body boarders, and body surfers scurried around like floating ants searching for the best trajectory to either ride or avoid being pummeled by this awesome power.  It was great fun to witness and document.

Great shot.  He was wise to get away from a dumping wave this big.  I have never seen one this big, although I have seen some good hurricane swells come ashore.

That is totally awesome!  The perfect wave.  I love the colors and details and the amazing perspective of this giant wave compared to the surfer.
