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.

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.

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.

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.
