Went to Trinidad today for the first time in a couple months. Sunny but cold and windy. The waves were wonderful ... but hard to capture. Leaflady (Gail)

Hard to capture, perhaps, but you did a great job. It looks like a wonderful spot to escape to.
What photos can't reproduce are the other appeals to the senses on a beach like this...the fresh smells, the sound of the surf, the feel of the seabreeze...all of that is evoked in the imagination...and I shouldn't forget the warmth of the sun, which sometimes is the most welcome thing of all!
i do like the harsh, unforgiving look of ocean... i live on the other end of pacific at appx. same lattitude and some beaches do look like the one in your pics: powerful form water pounding on rocks.
