Another intense sunset following a storm system.
I had noticed this reef ledge from one of our first visits to this area during a low tide. As I watched the incoming waves crash over it, I visualized the potential drama the reef ledge could provide. However, even during low tide, the ocean was still too dangerous and powerful to take a chance, or provide the conditions of what I had envisioned. It wasn't until a particularly extreme low tide, that the conditions were just barely safe enough to get in the ocean and compose a frame without losing my equipment.
The original structure was built in 1922. Hurricane Iniki took out the majority of it in 1992. What remains is what you see here. Slowly, over the course of time, the ocean will eventually claim the rest of it.
