21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
King of the Tides
The king tide only comes a few times of year in the winter months when the earth, sun, and moon are in the right alignment, with the full moon. Add in a storm surge and waves like this can happen. I was fortunate enough to get a few moments of incredible light before stormy weather took over as I captured this magnificent wave.
