Surf City

by Andrew Norton

Surf photos normally focus on a surfer, a wave and the big blue.

Occasionally you’ll get a glimpse of a beach, sometimes palms or volcanoes are thrown in for exotic effect. Rarely do you see an image of a rideable wave with an urban backdrop.

Personally I think coastlines are better left undeveloped. However when clean waves and concrete juxtapose, striking photos prevail:
