The Wave. Point Lobos, California. February 9, 2008. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell.

I was almost too close for comfort when I shot this photograph of a towering winter wave off of Point Lobos. (To reassure viewers, I was actually in a rather safe spot and barely got wet -just a bit of spray – even though I was very close to these waves.)
