Ward Beach
Ward Beach, Marlborough, South Island New Zealand at sunrise
Nikon D200 with 17-55mm f2.8 nikon lens with tripod standing on the limestone rock formations, waited for about half an hour for the right wave to create the pattern without crashing over the rocks and disturbing the tripod, I got very wet trying to get this photo (not that that is unusual, I always seem to end up getting wet in my pursuit of interesting images) I hope you like the photo.

Wonderful – no longer just a beach scene – very atmospheric… The water looks like mist crawling over the beach!
