This is a somewhat different take on the photo of a fisherman over winter surf I posted earlier on this page and elsewhere. In this one the fisherman strikes a more active pose, and there is more light in the foggy atmosphere.

The Wave

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.)
