While on the beach at Salmon Creek, there were plenty of waves crashing against the rocks. This was one of my successful images that showed the peak action of the crashing waves.
The view towards the north was also spectacular. In this image, I was lucky to include several gulls in flight above the stormy seas and crashing waves. Also, there are several birds swimming in the sea between the rocks.
Several surfers were taking advantage of the surf. This surfer had just left the water.
Several people were busy fishing along the beach. I managed to capture one fisherman with all his fishing rods lining the beach.
While at the beach, I found this really interestingly shaped rock being engulfed by the sea. The tide was gradually rising, so this rock was almost surrounded by the flow of water rising. I had waited for several minutes for a wave that would surround the entire rock. Unfortunately, I had to abandon that idea since our schedule on the beach was coming to an end!
We moved to another location further north along the coast. This location offered some interesting images of the sea from a different viewpoint. This image looks like a maelstrom swallowing a rock.
I made to make a second image of another rock that was swallowed by the maelstrom. For both these, I converted the images to monochrome. This enhanced the contrast of the raging sea.
Our next port of call was lunch at Bodega Bay.
