My heart was beatin', what an experience!​

I had worked my way out to the farthest point of the island's rocky coast. I stood on the edge of the cliff and looked over... holy sh1t! I stepped back and thought, "this is crazy, one slip and I'm dead!" The waves were coming in and exploding on the rocky coast. It was like somebody pointed a fire hose at your toilet and hit it full blast. I composed myself, put my camera on the tripod and took the picture. This was an experience. My only regret was that there was nothing in the picture to give the scale of this epic scene some relevance. Objects in this image are bigger than they look.

Several years ago a typhoon hit this area and destroyed parts of the Nobi Kaigan coastal road. After that they built these huge concert walls.

I've had mine for a little more than a year, the main reason for me was to switch away from the Canon since they grenaded teh EOS system.

This is the kind of place where people go fishing, walk the dog, read a book and sit on a chair and stare at the ocean; sometimes with a drink in hand.

I had spent the morning at Kannonzaki beach park goofing around with my GFX50R and 63mm lens. While I was waiting at the bus stop for the bus to go home a guy pulled up on his Norton, parked and headed for the public rest room. I took this quick shot then the bus arrived and off I went.

Thank you, both, much appreciated. Sometimes a little self imposed time out does one a world of good.

All the best,

If you see a bench stop and sit on it. Look at the view in front of you. It only takes a minute.​

Check the local tide table. When the tide is low and the rocks are poking up out of the water you'll think... wow!
I never noticed how beautiful this place was before​
