The Wild Pacific Ocean


On a windy, wet and stormy day we visited Long Beach by Tofino, British Columbia.  The wild Pacific Ocean was at its best during the storm.

The waves were crashing onto the beach.

Along with lots of driftwood there was a huge tree that had washed up on shore.

This is the type of weather the surfers love and there were lots of them in the ocean braving the weather to get that perfect ride.

These photos look like they were taken in black and white but they weren't.   It was such and overcast day.  I'll share some other photos in another post where the colour is evident.

I'm sharing these wild Pacific Ocean photos with Watery Wednesday.

Thanks for visiting. Enjoy the day.

  2. Hi Linda

    Gorgeous pictures of a beautiful place looking very dramatic. Did you pick up any of the driftwood to bring home to the garden? I remember bringing home a piece from Cavendish Beach on PEI a few years ago.

  4. HI Heather, no driftwood for us, the pieces were way to big to fit into our suitcases to bring back to Ontario.

  5. Hi Sylvia, I'm sure you get similar skies to Vancouver Island, Seattle is just a ferry ride away.

  6. Fantastic photos of a stormy sea. Love seascapes and they are at their best when the sea is far from calm.

  7. What great shots Linda. Looks a little rough out there on that day for certain.Now I would have loved to pick up a few pieces of the smaller driftwood to take home. Mainly because the tree would not fit or.... LOL!

  14. This rough ocean reminds me of the hurricanes I lived through in south Florida as a child. The Atlantic can give out those big waves, too. I would think your camera became misty while shooting these. They are great shots and make the viewer really feel the storm. genie
