Get wrecked on flat cider. Steal a cheap car, fill the boot full of fertaliser, compact down tight, add layers of cotton and douse with diesel. Light rag, get mates to push you in car to edge of cliff, roll out the door laughing and BOOM!

Back in time for last orders.

Eee bye gum - when I were a lad that would have been a police car where I came from :biggrin:

Spectacular action David - raw power of nature and all that, but for me the airborne water is all rebounding to left and has nowhere to go.

I know it would be impossible to do a pano-stich of this and a frame to the left, and it would be a shame to have set this shot up looking more left as the dark rocks and boiling sea on the right add to the image.

Awesome imagery though David :wavey: :wavey:

Beautiful shot! I love the power in the image - and your excellent composition. The person on the cliff gives us something with which to measure the size of the wave. Lovely light, too.
