Scenic Sunday #71

Here is another picture taken on the island of Bonaire a few years ago. This is the Atlantic side of the island. The waves here are huge and the beaches extremely dangerous. Swimming is not allowed in many places because of the undertow. This is a photo of a huge water spout that erupted from a 'blow hole' in the rocks. The noise was deafening.

  6. Hetty, great capture of the wave. I visited Bonaire yearzz ago... beautiful island, amazing flamingo breeding site, and I was in awe of the salt mines.

  7. Wonderful photo, you caught it just at the right moment, it does look kind of dangerous, I would not have any thoughts of swimming on such a day!
