28-FEB-2010	Walter O. Koenig

March 1

Unperturbed
High Surf is good hunting weather. This Pelican is unperturbed by the crashing waves.
These unusually high waves are the result of the Earthquake in Chile which occurred 5,600 miles / 9,000 km south of here.
The waves were not only high, but were also breaking quickly and erratically.

Fantastic in-flight shot...Great detail....V

Great shots Walter. The fast shutter speed really froze the wave action. The pelican in the middle of the white water is a stoke of genius. V

Soaring beauty.

Peter Sussex		01-Mar-2010 19:01
Brilliant image Walter, it's hard to imagine that these waves can go so far.

Jim Coffman		01-Mar-2010 18:30
Great capture,Walter! It is hard to comprehend such awesome power from so far away! V

Lee G		01-Mar-2010 16:34
A cool and very different view of the big surf! ~V~ Those high tides are causing lots of problems up here, thank goodness for sand bags and the fire departments labor.

Dougie Young		01-Mar-2010 15:55

Wow... fantastique. V

Stephanie		01-Mar-2010 15:23
Super!!! I also love the framing of the pelican amongst the surf spray! Bravo!!! BV

globalgadabout		01-Mar-2010 15:11
excellent timing to catch the pelican against the white surf...the tumultuous waves must churn up a lot of potential meals...fabulous colours...V

Guest		01-Mar-2010 15:08
Terrific image, Walter. The pelican is framed very nicely in spray from the surf. Excellent. V

Well captured Walter. You really did have some wave action. We were put on alert on the coast, but nothing really happened.
