Ha, David. Barely…those waves sneak up on you if you’re not careful! I was using my 90mm so that helped. 🙂 Thanks for visiting!

What a unique spot! You had to do some gymnastics to catch that shot I would assume!

Thanks, Linda. My long lens helped but you do need to be quick on your feet, which doesn’t always happen. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed this one.

I’m wondering if the locals just call it “Archie”?

Thanks, Jane. Remember trying to catch a sunset through there last time I visited. You do get to some of the best places on this planet! 😀 (and catch the best images.)

Hi Gunta, I’ve never been there at sunset — I hope you got some good ones. It’s such a gorgeous spot. Happy this brought back good memories-thanks very much. So many places to visit, so little time… 🙂 Hope your summer is going well.

Nice composition and the B & W adds a different feel to the image.
I can almost hear the whooshing of the surf through the hole and taste the salt spray !
