Info created and uploaded by Brigittebourger - nominated by W.carter

Another gorgeous photo by Brigitte Bourger. Apparently she made a newbie-mistake and missed uploading it as part of Photographiez les Outre-mer 2019, it was just uploaded the normal way, so it never became part of the contest. Seeing so many surfers simultaneously and near each other on a wave is a rarity, even rarer to have it captured in a good photo. (It kind of makes me think about that moment in Lord of the Ring when the ford at Rivendell turns into horses. ;-) ) -- Cart (talk) 12:33, 23 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment horizon tilted. Charles (talk) 12:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not 100% sure that is the horizon or just the next big wave behind this one before it breaks, so I'd like to keep this as in the original photo. --Cart (talk) 12:50, 24 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose not the next wave. tilted. Charles (talk) 21:27, 27 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
