Super Wave
Uploaded: March 13, 2011 17:05:07
Who could resist going down to that nice little ledge, even if getting there and back is like walking on ball bearings? This photo was taken on January 30 at The Port Orford Heads (Port Orford, Oregon). Not counting the “curtain”, I’d guess the big wave is over 25 feet high. It was built up from the splash back of a previous wave. This can happen when the wave/swell spacing is close. What an impressive sound and water show it provides!

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
