The End of the Day (4)

Sunset view at Batan Island, Batanes. I waited for a strong wave to go high over the rocks, and for the water to drop down to create the waterfall effect. A wave cooperated and came just before the sun fully set. If not for the waterfall effect, I think this would be just another ordinary sunset shot. Hope you like it.
