When the wave conditions are right a wave appears, infrequently, as a result of the splash back off the cliff connecting with an incoming wave. This causes the incoming wave to pop up, creating fan-like shapes. On this particular day, over the two hours I spent on the rocks, this wave only appeared once. This is that shot.

Yeah, but we picked different pics, so it’s cool. That’s happened before w/ The Big Picture submissions, where several people submitted posts, but picking different sets of pics.
