#3 Remember a Day
I have a ton more, but this is good for now. Just for fun, and I'm sure it won't take long, but can anybody guess the title theme?
Awesome stuff Jeff. I can't even begin to tell you how jealous I am right now. This place has been on my list for a long time now and I have yet to be able to visit and photograph it. You really did it justice here.

Great shots, like Koveh, I've always wished I was there. Unfortunately, my 4 kids are like animals and I just can't get over that wall. I guess I can take solitude in a glass of scotch for now and get comfortably numb.

Looks like you had some 'interesting' weather there! I especially like #2, and that's a nice, subdued and somewhat unique take on the Second Wave.
I'm stumped on the title, though.

I like them all, but 2 stands out to me because of the dark blue sky complemented with the orange rock. To fit your surf them it fits a wave beginning to crest. Looks like a bitchin tube about to form.

This is a really nice series, Jeff. I think #1 is the one I'd hang on my wall. Well done.
Jeff, I love that take on the Second Wave! I'm so used to seeing the classic vertical comp, I'm finding it spectacular with a little more context. Nothing wrong with the first two either!

Great shots! Really like your comp on the 1st one, especially

My response sounds silly now -- doesn't anyone listen to music anymore?

A beautiful selection of images. I really like #1 and #3. #3 gives me a sense of the place in a way that many images from that location do not. Looking forward to seeing more.

Love the great bold contrast in #2. Others are nice too, though i must confess ive seen so many similar variations on #1 that its getting to be deja vu.

Beautiful shots. I love #1. On my bucket list is a trip there.
Posted by Brian Jackson on February 9, 2011 at 4:31 PM
Oh, #2 gets my attention.
Posted by Jeff Hackett on February 9, 2011 at 4:49 PM
Thanks for the comments! Paul -- I don't think anybody does listen to music anymore. Maybe they don't have enough Time because they are all out trying to make Money. I guess it's just Us and Them. Now if you'll excuse me I have to Set the Controls for the Heart fo the Sun.

#2 is indeed a unique take. Really like that one.
Trippy place ... appropriate title references.

Wish I were There! Great series. Still trying to win the lottery...

Nice set. I like the mini-dune up in the alcove, and how the sand has collected in the ridges of the first wave. Even if #1 is commonly seen, it is still a nice image to view again.
How difficult was it getting up n down the slope to the alcove?

I like em!! Great stuff!! I too need to get there.

Thanks again and C&C if you want.
