Fence at the end of the pier on a stormy day!

HFF !
I recognise that pier ...

Hi StoneRoad,

Thank you so much!
Of course it is Criccieth. I guess you must have visited Welsh Highland and Ffestiniog railways too!

Hello Peter it certainly looks like someone is about the get a wet camera phone with the spray here

Wishing you an HFF and hope you have a good weekend Peter

Best wishes ... Steve

Hi Steve

Thank you so much for your well considered comment! There were a few other stupid people who got a lot wetter than this guy! Fortunately the fence stopped them gaining a Darwin award!

A fence not to get even close, in stormy days! HFF, Peter!

Hi Dimas

Thank you so much! You are right, it is so easy to get washed away in a big wave in a storm like this.

Hi Jaap

Thank you so much for visiting! It is normally quite peaceful. I have many other pictures from this area in my gallery to show that!

Took me some seconds to see the fence amongst this great seascape.

HFF, have a good weekend, Herb

Hi Herb

Thank you so much! This is quite a nice spot to go for pictures. The mountain in the background is Moel y Gest. and on appropriate days you can photograph the full moon rising over this water, but no moon today!!

Love Peter

Nice timing from a safe distance Peter,
HFF and a lovely weekend.

Hi Roger

Thank you so much! I remember someone saying that every 7th wave is a big one... So I counted to 7 a few times! (and had a lot of rejects too)

Hi Peter,

I wouldn't want to be in his place! Makes a very dramatic picture. I love the silhouette effect and the pebbles in the foreground...as well as that great big wave ;-))

Best wishes, Rosa.

PS. Sorry I missed the HFF!

Hi Rosa,

Thank you so much! I am so pleased that you can enjoy the spectacle from your nice warm house! Needless to say, big waves were fairly frequent, people getting soaked, less so!

Best Wishes
Peter

You were wise to stay further back! Better for the camera and you still got a striking photo!

Hi Gudrun

Thank you for the vote of confidence in my judgement!
Glad you enjoyed the result, and the camera still survives!

Best Wishes
Peter

Wow that looks wild Peter. Spectacular with that huge wave and the mountain view beyond. I wouldn't want to risk my camera,..or my safety by standing as close as this man. Love your stormy HFF. Have a good Sunday

Thank you Carol,

I am very happy that you enjoyed it. As for the guy on the pier, well, what can we say!!
Perhaps Darwin is right!

Best Wishes for the coming week!

Peter

Brilliantly timed capture. Need to watch for the odd rogue wave. Well done Peter Regards Tess

Returning to say Congratulations on Explore Well deserved for this shot.

Hi Tess

Thank you so much for your visits here. They are really appreciated!
You are of course right, sometimes big waves do appear, but not on this day!
