Peaceful Chaos - a photo on Flickriver

Peaceful Chaos

            Swirling and tumultuous this morning was much more than I expected. Upon arrival I could tell the surf was up, and Thors well wasn't safe. I watched a man go down with all his camera gear, and huge waves cascading over the seaboard shelf swirling down into the pit, and spouting up. When the clouds lit up and the rainbow hit I decided to take the risk. This was just about my last shot - as the next one in the set is almost comical... a huge wave (probably the one in this picture that's about to hit) cascading over myself and the frame. Luckily i was able to hold my footing in the waist deep water, and keep the camera above the chop/spray... it still got wet, but I didn't completely blow the back like I did earlier in this trip. This place always scares me, but I'm drawn to the peace and chaos that intermingles on this part of Oregon's shoreline.
