(CC) A Low Profile Introduction to Waves at a California Beach (Full Screen)

The Pacific Ocean! Massive, and extremely powerful! With each semi-rhythmic cycle of three to four waves, there's usually one that stays out pretty far, one that comes in a few feet closer, and one that makes you back up in order to keep your shoes from getting wet! That one that gets closer than all the others, is the wave that's captured in this clip! This low profile view makes it very easy for me to imagine how quickly we could potentially fall victim to a tsunami. (in micro version) And yes, I'm wearing shoes on the beach (like a fool). #Beach #PacificOcean #California
