 This is a photo from my favorite beach, Lumahai, with 15 to 20 foot waves crashing on the rocks. We had a NW Swell and it was incredible.

This time of year the rocks are extremely dangerous here at Lumahai. A number of people have lost their lives not respecting the power of the 15 to 30 foot waves that break over these rocks.

I wouldn't go near those rocks that is for sure. But I bet for some people that is a way of life.

Nice shot showing the power you talk about and keeping so much detail on the water.

I love this shot. It look like the wave crashes hard on the rocks in the background and you could almost sit on the ledges in the foreground and let the water wash over you. But I suspect that the wave is still quite strong when it hits those rock.

great shot .. love waves crashing on the rocks ..
glad you got your gout seen to .. natural therapies often work really well for certain 'complaints' .. sounds like there might be some improvement ??

When I looked at the thumbnail I thought these were clouds. This is a great shot!
