perfect wave

a little bit like surfing them, trying to grab the right wave at the right time! one's anticipation and timing has to be spot on. lots of film go to waste... and much swearing sometimes, for missing good ones, they always drop in on me!

sea conditions have to be right and that is near never the case. here, in Onrust on an afternoon stroll, a splendid show was being acted out - the tide and swell just right and square on for these near paper thin waves to be kicked up over the shallow reefs. the lip of the wave see-through as it curls over, light enough to leave a signature of spray in the offshore breeze as it jumps down the front

i marvel at the incredible mathematics and physics at play, much like naturally occurring fractals... this wave is just a snapshot as influences from all over the ocean come together, before continuing dissipated to become part of yet more other ripples on the big wide blue
