Second in a series of high-perspective ocean views. Several powerful storms created dramatic skies and huge surf extending out to the Cordell Bank National Marine Sanctuary, a shallow area far offshore. The wind was a constant 50mph with gusts that could easly knock people down. I found a place right above a vertical cliff where the wind seemed to go right over the top of me, allowing the camera to be stable on the tripod. This is the most intense weather in which I have ever attempted to photograph!
