Storm in the Atlantic Ocean III, a photo from Dakar, West

Photographer's Note

This is my third picture in this series and the first from the second day of the storm (I always wanted to right a complicate sentence). I put all pictures of the series in my Travelogue where you can see all of them together with a full story.
The second day the storm intensified and the vessel started rocking very seriously. The mast on the bow is 15 metres high (without the attached antenna) and it is totally under the horizon.
But look at the ocean. It looks like a normal sea, there are no 50 or 70-metre Hollywood waves ready to sink the vessel with one strike. And yet, watch next pictures to see what happened.

Great work so far Roman - not many of us have seen life aboard an ocean-going cargo ship, so thank you for bringing us on this journey. I look forward to seeing what more will come.
An old, old photograph - good work with the scan, perhaps more contrast or saturation would have helped.
