Burleigh Heads - Gold Coast

Burleigh Heads - Gold Coast

As calm as this image looks, the waves crashing over the rocks were huge. I had to grab my gear and jump out of the way of the waves numerous times to capture this image. Captured 10-15 minutes before sunrise.

Camera – Fuji GX617
Film – Fuji Velvia 100
