Can you smell the salt in the spray, hear the waves crashing in this photo?

Waves crashing over a reef

Rough weather over the dark mountains of the Isle of Arran, Scotland.

The sea crashes waves against the rocks on the coast. Taken on the Jurassic coast in the south of England.

What first drew me to this powerful composition, was not the movement of the waves and the wave action crashing and spilling over the rocks... but the colours within the rock which I noticed from a distance... The strata of anglesey rock is largely metamorphic igneous rock... something that I remember from being on field trips with my University at Bangor. I think the rock might be gneiss as it certainly looks like "gneissic banding". These colours underneath the wave action became the focal centre and I worked on the piece from there and that standing to create this art-piece.

Possibly not the brightest idea as a man takes a selfie, oblivious how close he is to oblivion.

A tricky capture! Not for the faint hearted and shot from a precarious and slippy point on pen-mon. Working in post, my interpretation on this became one of a more blue ocean setting. Inspired in thinking, by that of the 'great wave off Kanagawa tidal painting' by the Japanese artist Hokusai.
