Beautiful colour as usual. You can capture well at any location, can't you?
Is your camera safe after the big wave?

Scott, Lynne, Tiia, Koizumi-san, Kathleen and Arlene, thank you all for kindly looking at this image and commenting with your encouraging words!! I guess it was worth staying there until the big wave scared me away :)
Koizumi-san: Luckily, my camera was safe. I quickly grabbed my tripod when the wave crashed. Only my filter got wet.

Some super work here Alex! You are piling up some premium work in your gallery. Apparently you aren't as busy with work projects lately, I haven't a prayer until 2008 adding more content. Keep up the exceptional photography!
