I thought i'd share this aerial perspective of a coastal area off Kalbarri in Western Australia.

I was really stoked to capture what seems to be a Rip funneling out between the gap in the reef/rocks and then spiraling into this beautiful tornado shape in the deeper water.

I've never actually captured one like this before and to me it's extremely interesting seeing it like this, where it would be otherwise invisible from the land.

Hope you enjoy

This is truly an amazing arial capture! Perfect timing. Can't stop looking at all the details of light hitting the water and the wave patterns... Just hypnotic, it would make a superb mural. Great work Scott, your gallery is filled with gems. Best from Celine.
