And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;Luke 21:25
Photographer Simon Emmett captured this stunning shot earlier this week while snapping pictures near the harbor in the coastal town of Lyme Regis, England.
According to the Daily Mail, towering waves had been pounding Britain's shores the day Emmett took the haunting photo, as a devastating storm lashed the island nation.
Emmett's awesome picture, which has gone viral, has stirred the world's imagination this week.
"Face of hell storm," the U.K.'s Daily Star wrote in a caption emblazoned over the epic shot on its front page Thursday.
On his Facebook page, Emmett wrote that he hadn't even noticed that he had captured the oceanic face until he "looked back through the shots [he] took."
"It's a strange feeling when you upload a photo and it goes global," he wrote in another Facebook comment, adding that the all the hubbub about the spooky snap has "totally blown [him] away."
Is it me,or does that wave look like George Washington?
ReplyDeleteAmazing. That was my first thought too when I first saw this!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was that if this had happened in America, I would say, "Buckle your seatbelts, kids, the General is back!" Now, on 2nd thought, he took on tyranny and George III the first time, so perhaps there's still something apropos about it.
