Artist notes:

I had scouted out this shot and location the day before I shot this.  I knew it would have a lot going on, but I thought that might add to the magic of the image.  Note all that water draining into the sea.  That’s not from some waterfall behind me or to the right of the photo, nope, that’s from the relentless pounding of the sea with wave after wave of heavy surges on the shoreline.  In fact, this was as close as I could get to the area without getting swept out to sea!  I was blessed to catch a little glimmer of a sunrise below the clouds as the dawn turned to day, completing the image with great triumph!
