At Ft. Ross, along the Sonoma (CA) coast, we walked out the point and found some serious wave and seagull action. I have lived within short driving distance of the Pacific all my life, north and south, and I have never seen it look this color before. It really was this color! Something about the weather conditions, I guess, but I just can't get over this color. Hope you like it too. Thanks for the views and comments.

The color is outstanding. You can see the force within this wave by the white foaming. Great shot.

It is so difficult to capture the movement and texture of the ocean, but you have done it wonderfully. The color, the composition, the depth, the clarity are all truly excellent.
I can almost feel the spray and smell the brine.

The color is awesome indeed Donna, just striking, we are used to this color in the pacific though, (Micronesia, Polynesia, the Hawaian Chain) but not so close up shore in California. So i understand your amazement ! As said, striking shot here.

What a marvelous shot! That water is indeed amazing in color! I love the large splash that you caught and I can just see the foam as it dissipates. That Nikon and you are a great team!

Love the action, love the colors, but let's leave the surfboards at home; this sea is too rough for it. Perfect as a desktop, too!

I just love the different shades of the water, and I've learnt to appreciate the beauty of a wave since joining this site and this is my favourite wave snap so far, so thanks for sharing it.
