Mediterranean fury | December 29, 2008

While I was traveling around Israel, there were two or three days where the waves over the Mediterranean Sea were absolutely amazing. Today was no exception.

The image in today's entry was captured in Caesarea (Hebrew: קיסריה‎), which I visited today. It is located about halfway between Tel Aviv and Haifa. More about the city's history in a later post.

Regarding this entry: there is a really neat outcropping of rock in Caesaria. Here, the Mediterranean waters pound the rock daily, and one can notice where the rock has been eroded away by water. I decided to photograph a few of the massive waves which were over the Mediterranean that afternoon (a storm was coming). I crept closer and closer to the edge of the rock to get the shot. This is the third and final entry in the sequence of three shots I captured of a massive wave hitting the rock. Less than half a second after capturing this image, the remnants of this wave soaked me and my camera. I quickly staggered back, took a few minutes to dry off my camera, and then proceeded to photograph more of the amazing landscape surrounding me.
