The power of the ocean is amazing and sometimes hard to comprehend. Here, before the sunrise, this wave is surging up over a sand bar with only inches of water. The flash lighting allows us to see the evidence of this power. We that shoot from the water get pretty excited when we see the sand getting sucked up off the bottom. It's a pretty special thing. Thanks for viewing. For more follow on FB, IG and LBeard.com.
