a suggestion of power

Sometimes the ocean puts its power on display, not by a storm that exposes its fury, but as if it lifts a single finger and vigorously wags it in our face to let us know there is much more beneath the surface.

Great picture. The black & white is a great idea as the pic really looks great and I think colour would not have made as much of an impact... good show!!
