That was very well done. I enjoyed watching and could not help but think of a wood burning stove and a cup of coffee. Looked a little on the chilly side.

Interesting,

When I was a young man I was a land surveyor and enjoyed water projects. This video makes me think of the challenges that had to be over come to build the sea wall and the marina behind it.

Thanx,

Leo

Excellent job on editing.  It looked like Carl Orff wrote the O Fortuna movement while watching those waves.  Thank you for sharing that video.  Dominick

A lot of people under estimate the power of water 1 cubic metre = 1 ton....

I liked the choice of music, also. I've been in multiple performances of Carmina Burana. Seeing big waves expending their energy and listening to a song about the Circle of Life seems especially appropriate.

Gosh, when I first looked at the video in the very beginning, I thought that white image on the pier was a guy or a person either fishing or standing on the pier and got the surprise splash of their life!  :o

Then as I continued to watch, I thought geeeeezzz, that fellow has some mean Kung Fu or Tai Chi  balance to stand there and handle those waves.  Either that or wow, that guy is more Hard Core than anyone of us on this forum to stand there and contiue to fish!  :-\  Either way, he's got some awesome balance.  lol

Great shots-Thanks for posting!

The inshore fish populations must be taking a beating unless they dropped down into the deeps early on.

Yea, water is an impressive force. 4 inches of water with enough speed can sweep the feet from right under you. And a little trickle of water can, when freezing, shatter rock.
