Becoming not being……you know that tag line I’ve used on this blog since Day 1…
Well this is a great example.
What is a wave?
How do you define it, measure it, set its beginning and its end points?
All of those questions are hard enough to answer but when I look at the spray which the wind is whipping up from the advancing wave, and flinging it backwards like soft hair then I see our attempts to define and delimit disappear like the fine white spray itself.
I’ve never seen this phenomenon before. It was a particularly windy day but I’d never seen the wind do both these things at once…..drive the water towards the beach in big white crashing waves AND whip the foamy top of the wave to create this transient curtain of white water…….astonishing!
Amazing!! Great photo!!
