Boom

[AlanLichty]

I love the wild breakers that come along with winter storms and they often linger well after a storm system has passed. This is a shot from one such day along the Oregon coast near Brookings taken last December. Midday light in December can be quite harsh on a day without clouds but offers up some neat backlight for the breaking waves.

As for the title - the booming sounds of breaking waves all around you with the storm swells is sometimes almost deafening.

A breaking wave at Harris Beach State Park, Oregon.

C&C always welcome.

Captured the energy nicely. It looks like it's hiding a black hole!

Good one Alan. I love the sound of heavy breakers. This is a sight I would never tire of.

Hey Alan, yeah I love that sound and the look. It's an amazing experience. Hopefully everyone gets to spend some time along the Oregon coastline at some time in their lives.
