A few weeks back I made a flying visit to Downpatrick Head in County Mayo in the West of Ireland. Conditions where slightly bonkers, and the wind made it near impossible to stand. This image I kinda like, I love the power of the waves and the tones of green in the turn of the wave and the dark moody sky.

The youtube video I made from the trip gives a good sense of the conditions - Bigwaves-Mayo

Immense power on display Peter. Just as important for me, also, is that tiny touch of green sea. Nicely done.

Make your life spectacular!

Agree fully...the touch of greenish water completes this one!

Truly a magnificent image that well expresses all the immense power that nature can have, I too am in agreement with others as regards the touch of green.

Really powerful! I see the birds circling above too-probably hoping for a feast!
