Cormorants on a Minot Lighthoue

[MSnowy]

Can't decide bigger lens or boat. Yes those black spots on the railings are cormorants.

Very nice!

Once you buy a bigger lens you don't have to keep pouring money into it :mrgreen:

Looks like you found the super secret launching spot of underwater missiles! That's some serious surf!

And here's your cormorant, he tried to poop on my head today

Cool shot, I especially like the series from last year. Makes you wonder how they ever got the thing built out there in the first place?

That looks like fun in a 10FT aluminum boat with Ores only. Been there done that and had to be rescued.:lmao: Get a 45 footer.

That is just pure magic !!. Impressive shots and what water action that is, love it. Now I feel sorry for the Cormorants

All the best and I'm in awe of those waves breaking.

Super capture! The seas don't look that high from the wind to generate that kind of wave against the lighthouse, so suspect some swift tides too.

Having owned two sailboats, I can attest that lenses are cheaper! Lee

Thanks. The lighthouse is built on a rock ledge when waves from a nor'easter hit the ledge just right it forces the water up and around the lighthouse. The waves in this picture are some of the highest recorded over the top.
