The first shot made me laugh. : )
Apparently, a hair-do preparation is necessary before taking refuge against the Big Wave even if the wave has shows no respect in the third shot.

Thanks for sharing, Henry. Still, a risky entertainment for those with hypertension and similar conditions.

Nicely timed as Sury says.

Great series Henry :)

For some reason it seems all is right with the world when Henry is back in Hawaii!

Ha ha! good ones Henry, especially the last, that’s what I call getting wet, they look wetter than actually being in the water. :lol:

I love humour in photographs, probably because I can't do it. You thought of making a sequence and made am excellent job of it. Hawaii - please send any cash that you have to my address so I can go there. :D

Yes, we got back here last month. I do hope to go on a trip somewhere this fall, but I am just thinking about it now. It would be fun to see how the new m4/3 gear works out on a real trip.

Hahahaha, what a great serie! Didn't see the third one coming. Super, had a good laugh!

Off topic, if you don't mind Henry, but does your occupation allow you to travel that much? I envy you every time I see those great images you post and have posted from previous decades.

Mark, all my travels are on my own and not work related. I just love to travel, see new places, meet new people, learn about different cultures, and take photos! I hate the getting there though because flying has become such a terrible hassle.

I can imagine. I hate all the hassle too, especially at the security controls. I asked because I get the feeling you're always on the move in all those beautiful countries.

Well, not always on the move. :lol: I just like to travel and try to make at least one big trip abroad each year, but also mix in long periods in Japan from time to time. Also, I like to do long road trips on the U.S. mainland occasionally too.
