I grabbed this shot while taking a break from scouting some new beaches a few weeks ago. I was having lunch and enjoying the sun when this guy popped up on top of a tall sea stack far down the beach. He just stood there a while, looked around, then climbed down. His demeanor seemed a little wierd, so I took a few shots.

Wow, that guy gives this shot a nice sense of scale. Looks like it might have been a pretty good climb to get up there?

what timing!!! Very cool, except it looks like he is ready to jump or something
Gees, this is great! Really makes you wonder what's going on with the guy... Powerful shot! Brings out the psychologist in me. I wanna climb up there and have a chat with him. (Actually, I'd hope he comes down and then have the chat!) What about submitting this to one of the professional journals or other mags about mental health? It'd be a great teaching piece...
