Looks like one of Mother Nature's natural fountains...only it makes a once in a lifetime appearance. So glad you caught the essence of the beauty here, Eve.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Looks like a scene straight out of "From Here to Eternity." Hope you weren't on the beach. This shot is all about power. You can see the power from the wave, maybe even more so in B/W. Something straight out of the 60's. Very nice post and different from your usual ones. I like it.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

"The more we come in contact with animals, and observe their behaviour, the more we love them, for we see how great is their care for their young." - philosopher Immanuel Kant
