Here is a set of four images (not the same wave) showing the way the waves were developing over there on Saturday. I'll post more with different vantage points later but I thought these made a good series.

1, 2, 3 and  4.

To give you a size perspective the rail fence up on that bluff is about four and a half feet tall.

Tech note: All were taken with a Canon 40D, Canon 18-40mm L lens and tripod with a remote shutter release. I used manual mode and manual focus all preset to enable me to watch everything unfold and hit the remote as I wanted to.  

Once again I found myself at the beach for the weekend.  This time I decided to try black and white photos.  Be honest and tell me what you think.  Theocean's surf started to splash the rocks and then return to its home.  The rockshelp protect the point from the ocean's fiery.   As we walked down the beach we came across a  sand castle or in terms of my three year old thinking, Cinderella's castle.  As I walked around the sand castle I notice that the inhabitants of the castle were Mrs. and Mr. Octopus.  Must give credit to where credit is deserved.  The artists were from good ole NOLA.  Later that night I notice that the surf was really started to come in.  

A few bonus pics in color.

Strange cloud formations over the Gulf

Storms to the West of Orange Beach

  Not alot of color, but I enjoy how the water rolls over the rocks. Peaceful. They are about as big as your picky nail.

Rocks 1 - Before the wave.
Rocks 2 - Here comes the water...
Rocks 3 - Water goes back out...
Rocks 4 - Close up of same rocks

This one got inside one of the tents.  This poor thing was holding on for dear life, because of the wind.  We left the camp and came back to find...   someone not happy to see us.

Bonus shots:  1 & 2

Found this interesting geological formation while out hiking today.
This is calledbalance rock It is located in the Santa Monica Mountians in California.
The rock looks to be about 75 feet tall by my guess.

I tried very hard to find shots on a mountain of Rock..theres very little... but rock, and harsh sun.... but I tried. Bald Rock..It was far cooler than I could capture for you, hope you enjoy.
One last shot that wouldn't fit in Gallery..Dead Tree

The last shot in the gallery, was a rock on the floor of the Stone House.
