There is something bewitching about this wave, and wherever I see it I am drawn to it!
This one was painted on the side of a house near Camberwell in Southeast London. Granted it is not a complete (or accurate copy of the original print, which breaks to the right and not to the left...
The initial fear the observer can experience by witnessing its power and proximity are quickly dispelled by the innocent -yet treacherous- beauty of this raw force of nature.
Just for the briefest of moments you can almost smell the salty water and hear the bubbles in the foam, the sound of the water overcoming you... Then the spell is broken; you are safe but back to reality and a bleak urban landscape...
