secrets found at sea - a photo on Flickriver

            Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world.  ~Author Unknown

Pinhole image, taken on a stormy morning at Cape Kiwanda. That same morning we had awoken in Pacific City to the sound of hail pelting glass windows. The breaks in precipitation were brief at times; ten minutes after this exposure the sky opened up again, this time to pour buckets of driving rain. Luckily by that point the six of us were inside a nearby restaurant, sipping orange juice and watching the unlucky beachcombers who were still outside come racing back to their vehicles.

This was about as close as I could get to the water... the waves came all the way up to a sandy 3-foot tall embankment, which I stood on to take this picture. Even with that height separating me from the edge of the tide, a rolling wave still managed to fling itself upward high enough to splash my pants. It may look calm here, but the sea was decidedly turbulent that day.

Taken with my Zero Image 2000. For the life of me, I cannot remember an exposure time - I want to say either 20 seconds or 2 minutes; judging by the light, the former is probably more likely.

Taken on: February 22, 2008
