The image is one day after Hurricane Ida passed by Atlantic City. The waves were still high and the damage was predicted in the millions of dollars. There was still an ominous feeling from the sound of the waves crashing against this pier. However, there was a sense of relief too, now that the storm had passed.

it does feel like i'm being sucked into the pier when i look at this.. very nice capture! :) rian @ 2009-11-30 22:56:52
Incredible feeling of being pulled into this frame and an incredible speed. The light gives such an illusion and adds to the depth. Fantastic shot John. bluechameleon @ 2009-11-30 22:59:12
Another image that impressed by the dramatic and the quality of the realization of that image. Pierre @ 2009-12-01 03:10:00
Hello, global warming and rising sea levels, an image of the next century! Grandiose shot, great art. Good day, friendships. tede @ 2009-12-01 03:26:24
Stunning image, John, almost graphical. Light is all over the place, looks really nice. Ariel @ 2009-12-01 03:29:45
wow, i just have no idea how you've made it but it's stunning yz @ 2009-12-01 03:55:11
Excellent process, perfect symmetry and perspective as always BoB @ 2009-12-01 06:27:17
Wow - almost psychedelic, which is odd to say about a B&W, yet the image has a strobe-light feeling to it. Harry @ 2009-12-01 06:41:09
Love the B&W look of this shot! Beautiful and powerful! Andy @ 2009-12-01 11:37:18
Your posts never disappoint me. This one is incredible. mannedspace @ 2009-12-01 13:00:11
muy buena John, excelente captura y precioso procesado, éste es "tu puente", siempre le haces fotos espectaculares :)) NJ & SB Photography @ 2009-12-01 13:29:52
nice action and dramatized look of the pier here! Liang @ 2009-12-01 15:47:11
Superb. Nice action and beautiful capture. Antoine @ 2009-12-01 15:52:15
Really impressive. The light adds a kind of dramatic. tom @ 2009-12-01 16:29:00
Oh my this is so cool! The light! I can't even imagine how you did this! Superb work! Arjan - PLsticDaisy @ 2009-12-01 17:26:20
Excellent light, great reflections and fascinating symmetry. A stunning composition! Arnd @ 2009-12-01 18:27:24
Dramatic background for this impressing photo, very good work ! cawe @ 2009-12-01 18:34:18
This is absolutely stunning. The light is extraordinary. WOW! Marcie @ 2009-12-01 19:20:07
You've done these a few times but they still haven't gotten old. You've outdone yourself on this one. It's superb. Radiant I think is the best word to describe what I see when looking at the tones in this one. Dan Creighton @ 2009-12-01 19:48:27
Always perfect here. COngrasts for this amazing work! POlydactyle @ 2009-12-01 19:49:26
Almost makes me dizzy. The piles and pier underside create a mirror-like tube for the roiling water. At least, that is the feeling I get. Anita Bower @ 2009-12-01 20:05:19
what an ethereal atmosphere!!! just faaabulous!!! you know, your photography is approaching something 'other' than a 'photo' -- this almost looks like some sort of super fine spray painting work... simply amazing (as per usual) but 5 stars for going above and beyond -- this is beautiful and brilliant! dj.tigersprout @ 2009-12-01 20:20:44
A magical composition in every way, John. Michael Skorulski @ 2009-12-01 21:49:58
Dark water always freaks me out. I don't think I could have stood there with a camera and taken anything remotely close to this very cool shot. Jillian @ 2009-12-02 01:03:24
very nice always very nice !!! aline @ 2009-12-02 02:35:01
IMPRESIONANTE!!! Todo en esta fotografia es bestial, la composicion, el encuadre, el tratamiento, la iluminacion... mi gran enhorabuena amigo mio por este gran trabajo!!! Alex Caballero @ 2009-12-02 03:12:01
Wonderful work, John! Looks like the big wave is rushing towards me! Impressive! sil @ 2009-12-02 05:50:36
This one has a very unique feel to it. It's almost like you added a texture above the image. Being able to see the posts go below the waves is incredible. Mike @ 2009-12-02 09:07:51
A spectacular shot with an air of mystery making the shot very provocative. Super shooting! don @ 2009-12-02 11:19:24
Bonsoir,

Impressive ghostlike picture! Feels like I'm drawn into it. Your processing is absolutely fantastic. Incredible work. pernilla @ 2009-12-02 17:27:57
Oh yes. I'm on this roller-coaster and I'm taking it all the way to oblivion. Love this shot. Great detail, extremely vivid tones and just such a sense of energy and foreboding.
Excelled yourself here John. Which is saying something by your standards... mooch @ 2009-12-02 18:15:37
Very powerful shot. It looks 3D to me. Jamie @ 2009-12-02 20:24:17

Ghostly! Wonderful image. Jan @ 2009-12-02 23:02:48
interesting that you should mention sound of the waves - before reading this i was looking at your image and thought about the sound these waves would make. the whole frame feels very intense - in a good way. michele @ 2009-12-02 23:36:06
Awesome picture and processing. Perfect title too. Ivar @ 2009-12-02 23:45:59

John great job .. it's your trademark .. perfect HDR work Klaus @ 2009-12-05 06:45:42
The sharp verticals - along with their reflections - seem to cut though the image - a most surreal sensation results. Magnificent! Stephen Phillips @ 2009-12-05 10:46:45
Atmosphère de fin du monde.
J'aime beaucoup.
Bonne soirée. Sylvain @ 2009-12-05 13:47:51

WOW ... I am loosing my mind looking at this shot . Splendid , John . Such a power one can feel in it ! Bravo ! MARIANA @ 2009-12-05 16:10:25
This is simply incredible. Really really stunning shot and post work. Love the glassy texture of the water in contrast to the pier and graffiti. RPepper @ 2009-12-05 20:24:53
A fantastic image with a ghostly feel. Andrés @ 2009-12-05 20:25:41
amazing surreal image, love it. pixeltoko @ 2009-12-06 03:56:32
Perspective of the future. We are sucked into the image! You did a great PP job John.
All the best. Standley @ 2009-12-06 04:19:24
I have already seen that scene but in colour .... this one is great also ! namaki @ 2009-12-06 04:33:48
Breathtaking photograph again! Your artistic output is absolutely amazing!! And thanks for your comment of course.

Phantastic work. It's a dream. Joachim @ 2009-12-06 12:57:51
tes images sont toujours incroyables..pas loin de la science-fiction !
quelle technique derrière tout ça, je suis admirative. ;) flo g @ 2009-12-06 20:56:29
Excellent - the horizontal lines of light works perfect with the pier construction.
And we know what you mean, having seen Ike destroyed much of Galveston - there is something peaceful over the last waves, still strong but just not strong enough anymore.... Framed and Shot @ 2009-12-06 22:21:16
A masterfully produced image John, one that will linger in the memory for long not only for its excellence but for the universal and timely message is puts across! Brilliant work! Pavan Kaul @ 2009-12-06 23:11:08
A variation on one of your best themes, John! I love it. Ginnie @ 2009-12-07 02:47:43
wow! it seems Holy! I really love it, BRAVO~ :) Ida @ 2009-12-07 04:05:21
this image has an excellent glow and even the graffiti is looking so damn cool! joshi daniel @ 2009-12-07 07:09:40
High drama and high tide here . . you are one of the few photographers who know how to handle this technique. Ronnie 2¢ @ 2009-12-07 07:16:38
I-M-P-R-E-S-S-I-V-E and E-X-C-E-P-T-I-O-N-A-L! Sure we prefer no hurricane... But you catch the release at the end of the tunnel... I could even say that the key to the world of elves is inscribed on the walls! Bonne semaine. Doum @ 2009-12-07 10:03:36
I love your post process - I've no idea how you get such great result. It's so outstanding - I've to often seen so much overprocessed HDR's, but you still stay as the master! Nicki @ 2009-12-07 13:13:48
Merci nice pictures on your blog John. Of course, my comment is buried among your 90+ daily comments. Thanks also for taking the tim to go visit Regards Croisés. And please... come back soon! Nicolas @ 2009-12-07 18:46:17
Stunning photo. Monochrome is a great choice here. I love the light rays and also the reflections. Very dynamic. The graffiti is the icing on the cake. Sabine (foKuspoint) @ 2009-12-08 08:11:24
Love the contrast, superb processing. Ashish Sidapara @ 2009-12-09 10:12:37
John what happened here, this looks so rich, and metallic. Okay I wanted to visit the resort, now I want to walk into this one, lol. What a great adventure on your blog. Anna :) Anna @ 2009-12-11 20:19:01
Fantastic work John. Very slick job on the processing! John @ 2009-12-13 22:55:54

Wow! stunning image. The underside of the pier seems to exist in another dimension. john @ 2010-01-21 12:28:32
Whoa, the forces of water and wind that must be directed down the aisles of your submerged "cathedrals" must be incredible during a hurricane. What a site to behold even on a "calmer" day. Kevin from OrganicPix.com @ 2010-02-01 11:23:15
