An amazing shot and its indeed sad what nature can do ...but we rarely stop to think how much we are in fact interfering with Nature.
A vey good picture and am glad you have a beautiful memory of the place which bore the terrible fury of Nature which was its very source of beauty. TFS

Such an idyllic location.
Tragedy such as this strikes anywhere at any time and there is no prevention and very little cure but time.
I understand the caution - those cocnuts would reach a terminal speed of Mach 3 before hitting the deck from that height.
Thank you for the anniversary dedication.

Hi Chris,
your shots are made of my dreams.
I've also been to some places you show us - as we already talked about with Hua Hin. Sumatra is also a wonderful place to be, special the lake Toba. Have you also been to Java - Borobudur - it's marvelous.
This shot here is so romantic - I wish I could be there now. ;-)
Bye bye and thanks

I would suggest a motorcycle helmet and nerves of steel (-:

Nice capture of the idyllic tropical beach. I think the sand is a touch overexposed, and the shadow level needs bringing up a bit. Minor details which are irrelevant to the composition.

A fine reminder of the immense tragedy. People too often underestimate the Sea!!! I grew up with and respect her! Great comp again, it shows us the SPACE, thanx, M, (*_*)

The people on the beach provide a sense of the impressive scale of the palm trees. A coconut on your head from that height looks like it could be lethal.

Thank you for your sober note of remembrance too.
Best wishes...Paul

Hi Chris,
A beautiful capture to not forget the tragedy of boxing day 2004.I like the compo with the view along the curved shape of the beach.
Great note too.

Chris, such sad memories of this time last year. I love the coconut palms, but yes, it would be dangerous walking below them!!
I wonder what this place would be like right now and how many trees are still there.
Thanks Chris for sharing...

A beautiful mix of blues and greens my favourite colours. The beach is just perfect, but nature can wreak havoc on such beauty. It is so sad to think of so many people losing their lives in the dreadful tsunami a year ago, and parents losing children, and children wandering about looking for their parents as I saw on the news tonight. Thanks for showing us the beach as it was many years ago.

How true. It looks like paradise but it can turn into a nightmare in a second. Massive beautiful trees. Great photo.

I fear coconuts, a few have landed near me already..... but I fear the ocean even more now! I am at a beach now, but uncomfortable. Cyclones which come here every year, at this time.....
