Day 344: 21 November

We went back down to Captain Andy’s Sunset Dinner Cruise on the South Shore, and on the way we stopped at the Spouting Horn again.  The breaking water here is just waves hitting the shore.

(Canon 7D)

The Spouting Horn is a lava tube in the shore rocks.  When the waves hit it the water is compressed and sent skyward like a geyser!  There is some noise from it too.  There was a much bigger one that a sugarcane grower dynamited many, many years ago.  It would spray water a hundred feet into the air, and all that salt water would land on his sugarcane.  Watch that little toot in front on the left.

And the cycle repeats two or three times a minute, depending on the wave action.  That also determine the hieght.

I think this would be a better, if more distant, vantage point!

When I first set up I had a couple settings on the camera off, as I had forgotten I had it on Monochrome from an earlier day.

A very dramatic view…
