"At the edge of the world
At the edge of the sea
There live the angels "
Chorti. ( Mayan ) text
Translated by John Fought. ( 1972 )
In early morning the land is often cooler than the sea. This can form what is known as a land breeze which is blowing from land outward over the sea, Having set my camera up on a high perch above the surf break I was able to make this photo of a strong land breeze cutting against the wave crests and sending a spray pattern seaward. This type of spray pattern , which creates the white sea froth, is known as " spindrift ".
