Okay, here's one more....

you're making me homesick. Awesome shots. That first one could be the coolest shot I've ever seen of the lane. I love the color coming through the water. That wave looks thick.

Great shots. I love the mist rolling off the wave on the second image. Very nice!

There must be a good spot to stand to get these shots, care to share the location? I'm an hour and 15 minutes to the north of you on the coast.

Have you ever gone to the fossil cliff in Capitola? I understand sometimes chunks full of fossils fall off and land on the beach.

Oustanding shots, really nice.

There is even a reflection from the board, when I peel my eye away from that wave.

Great shots.

Just google fossil capitola, here's a copy of one article for parents:

Give your next trip to the beach an Indiana Jones-style twist by heading for the charming seaside town of Capitola in Santa Cruz Co. (take the Capitola Bay Ave. exit from Hwy. 1).

At the southern end of the pretty town beach is a large sea cliff containing fossilized shells from the Pliocene epoch - a mere three to five million years ago. You'll see plenty of fossil mollusks embedded in the rocks, and most likely some in loose rocks just lying around on the ground.

It's legal to collect fossils here, so you can take a rock or two home, but please use restraint.

If you and your kids enjoy the experience, you may want to return another day with proper fossil-collecting gear: a geologist's hammer, a chisel, goggles, helmets and a carrying case of some kind.

Precautions. The fossil-bearing cliffs are accessible only at low tide - check a tide table before you go. Stay a safe distance away from the bottom of the cliffs to avoid the possibility of being bonked by a falling rock; bicycle helmets can give some head protection to kids. At the gulch, you will be entering New Brighton State Beach; no fossil collecting there without a special permit.

All 3 shots are super

I would love to be able to shoot Steamer's when it's breaking BIG, like this

I just need it to break, like this, on the weekend.....lol

Great shots Mac

WoW!!! I would have guessed the first image was shot with a lot longer glass than 300.. He must have been a lot closer to shore than I realized. Great shots.

maczippy · Jan-21-2005, 09:22 AM

I'll dig out an aerial shot, but if you're standing at the Lighthouse at Steamer Lane, and the waves are coming at the right direction it's almost like you're "there"

It's very very cool.

**Steve Cavigliano** · Jan-21-2005, 10:08 AM

The other 3 were very good shots. But, this one is a wallhanger

It reminds me of pics I used to see in Surfer Magazine, of the big breaks in Hawaii, about 40 years ago. A surfer, partially silhouetted against a background of nothing but a wall of angry water.

Great shot!!

See what you've done? Now I'm going to have to drive over to SC tomorrow.....lol Please don't post anymore of your outstanding surf shots until Sunday. You're killin me here :roll
