The 7th Wave
I have learnt sometime in the past, that due to the fact that waves aren’t moving at the exact same speed, every seventh of them is double and hence much more powerful. While I was panning this shot, one of these more powerful waves rolled in, and washed a couple of meters up where I was standing bent down with my camera low. In situations like this you must think fast, and though the water is freezing cold I guess my curiosity for having an interesting shot made me choose to ignore it.
Naturally I got wet feet. But I’m getting used to it, it happens quite often. Hope it’s worth it.

This is beautiful. The light & golden tones are gorgeous & the water looks so calming despite the threatening clouds overhead!
Kofoed replied
Thank you very much, Samantha. I really appreciate your nice comments.
It was rather calming that day. It was the aftermath of lots of rain and wind.

Wonderful Kofoed, the whole balance is glorious, I like the foamed water, suffering for your art again I see…....

Yes, I am suffering for my art. Wet feet quite often and a constant cold as a result.

Beautiful shot, love the sky, didn’t know about the seventh wave, I had noticed every so often one comes in stronger and further though. I have been caught a few times myself.
Kofoed replied
Thank you very much, Marie. Your nice comments are much appreciated.
We’ll have to count, shan’t we? I’m usually moving as close to the water as possible, so I get caught quite often. Guess I should get myself a pair of rubber boots!
mariarty
Lol, I nearly lost mine last week. picking my way through rock pools to get an angle on a rock suddenly I sank up to my knees. I panicked for a minute then looked to see if anyone had seen. I got out ok.
Kofoed replied
I’m glad you got your feet and boots up again, Marie.
Alan Findlater

Jason Connolly
But how do you know which was the first Kofoed?? LOL.
Great shot, first class lighting and colours, well done.
Worth wet tootsies I reckon.
Kofoed replied
Yes, that might be a problem. Guess that’s why it ends wrongly so often…
Thank you very much for your nice comments. They are really appreciated.
