Sea Wall
As the Mighty Ocean presses up against the land, it shoots up in huge fingers like molten glass or a wall of ice, attempting to perform a land grab. The Sea Wall does it's best to hold it back and usually does a good job, except in the most fierce of storms when the power of the sea can wash away sections of the wall as happened very close to here in the winter storms of 2014, when the railway line was washed away leaving 1000's of people stranded for weeks while it was repaired.
High Tide
It was high tide and late in the afternoon when these fingers of water climbed up onto the land. Using my trusty Panasonic Lumix Gf2 and a tripod this was one of set. The water can throw up shells and seaweed in it's tempest. Even the occasional unwary sea creature has been known to end up on the promenade. exif data is missing from this edited photo (cropped) but would have been 1/1200th sec in the late afternoon fading light.
So beautiful, thanks for sharing,

Awesome capture! I love that the sea is spraying up at a slight diagonal there, and the sky is a gorgeous soft colour. It would be amazing if you caught an image of one of those unwary sea creatures being thrown up too!

hey @johleen, thanks. it was a cold and wet shoot, worth it though, the camera miraculously survived ( I got quite wet). I might have a photo with something getting thrown up. I think a fish would have been a prize winner. I have seen fish get thrown up by the sea. just haven't caught one yet !!

Well, I am more than annoyed! Cheetah commented on my second post and it has dropped off the face of the earth. It is my own content and my own image, but a close-up of the same waterfall. I used a similar paragraph in it to describe the location, as I did in the first post. Here is the link. I think that upvotes won't count for anything now. :-(

oh the joys of original content. Cheetah is only advisory in nature and although it generally does an excellent job, it perhaps needs to take into account that your posts are your posts ! it's just a dumb bot.. (sorry cheetah) you are usually very helpful ! Great photo anyway. I would love to see that up close ;)

I have been reassured that Cheetah actually upvoted me and did not flag me, and that there is a difference. It was coincidence that voting amounts were low - nothing to do with poor Cheetah! I take it all back. LOL!

cheetah just informs if if suspects plagiarism..that's it's job, to let readers know that the information is not original to the post. it doesn't cover all situations and can get it wrong. it's only a bot.. if it thinks you're a bad guy that's a different story, then you get referred to the steemcleaners ! yikes.. always upsetting to see cheetah on a post - ! no worries Di, steemit people know you're the real McCoy
