The fourth shot I took in the storm at Sandsend, you can see Whitby in the distance with the

abbey. Thanks

This wave was right on top of me when I clicked the shutter and I got very wet. Part of a

series of wave shots taken on the 14/3/2007 at Sandsend - Whitby UK, you can see them

here http://www.photo.net/photodb/presentation?presentation_id=349431

I hope you like them. Thanks.

Another giant wave smashes into the Sandsend Hotel I think the dramatic sky adds interest.

Thanks for looking.

Thank you Nathan, Julio and Terry. a particular thank you to Pascal for making me (officiously) the best photographer here in Chicago!!

It was not easy to get this image because the waves were coming behind me too and I put myself in considerable danger. Keith

Thanks all for your kind words - Neil and Rob, the white is caused by the unique light at the moment, the sky was moving rapidly and the light was coming from behind my right shoulder with very bright glimpses of sunshine over a stormy dark sky hence the bright white clouds above. Sandsend is unique for this when the low cloud breaks from of the sea. I converted the image into black and white with Aperture and purposely blew the whites to show what I saw in the moment. The print will look much nicer believe me.

The grey wave was grey, because dirty water was dragged off the beach with the raging sea; the spray in front always breaks whiter.

Thanks Keith
