Description
There are several signs telling folks not to walk out on the jetty that sits between Battery Point and the Crescent Harbor in Crescent City California. Indeed, people have been killed or seriously injured by the rough surf that slams into (and sometimes OVER) that breakwater. Still, lots of people like to take a stroll out on it and at least a half dozen were walking on it while we were there. At least the tide was receding and very near low tide, somewhat reducing the risk (I suppose) when I captured this frame. No less than half a dozen people were strolling out on the road atop the breakwater at the time.
While I rarely leave humans in my photos, I think the solitary walker in this shot adds to the story, thereby saving him or her from being zapped in to digital oblivion in Photoshop.
I used my full spectrum converted camera fitted with my 830 nanometer near infrared filter to capture this image.
