I wave at you

Waves Composite 2

The above animation has almost all the photos associated with this post. I put it there so people who are too busy to, like, you know, read, can just glance at the post and move on.

For all them others, some of the slide photos are posted below, plus a few more, but the SmugMug gallery HERE has all of them, and at full resolution.

All of the photos below are linked to a larger, but not full-size, version. Clicking on them will open them in another window or tab.

I mentioned before I am a big fan of waves. Pretty much all waves, but the ones along the rocky shores of Ali Drive in Kona-Kailua seem to me (and I admit a bias) some of the best I’ve seen. I’ve seen larger, louder, more violent . . . but . . . look at this:

And look at this:

If you watched the animated GIF at the beginning, you’ve seen the sequence of photos culminating in a geyser of spray.

Here’s a more leisurely look at a few of the photos making up the slide show . . .

Sometimes the wave hits with more volume, and the resulting spray is higher.

Some may have noticed a small finger-like lava peninsula heading out from the shore. Apparently, that is a great place to fish from. Not that I would do it, but some evidently do.

Anyway, a quick look as to why I like waves.

Don’t forget the SmugMug Gallery HERE.

Edited To Add: Almost forgot . . . here’s an actual movie.

Astute persons might have noticed these doodles, and correctly surmised they hold some significance for me, and perhaps for humanity at large.  

If you click on the doodle, and nothing happens, this is the link it’s supposed to go to: https://disperser.wordpress.com/2011/12/26/palm-vx-and-i/.

Please, if you are considering bestowing me recognition beyond commenting below, refrain from doing so.  I will decline blogger-to-blogger awards.   I appreciate the intent behind it, but I prefer a comment thanking me for turning you away from a life of crime, religion, or making you a better person in some other way.  That would mean something to me.

Should you still nominate me, I will suspect you pulled my name at random, and that you are not, in fact, a reader of my blog.  If you wish to know more, please read below.
