Walking the Grand Haven pier... during heavy seas

Yesterday, after dinner, my lovely and gracious wife and I walked the Grand
Haven pier; the seas were pretty heavy, which made for some awesome pictures
(there were a lot of people with cameras, and a lot of people at the end of the
pier watching the huge waves break over -- well, bigger waves than usual on Lake
Michigan...)

Maggie at the head of the pier... doesn't look like much in this picture, taken from the camera phone, but those are pretty boisterous waves out there on Lake Michigan...

Looking across the channel, up the coast to
Muskegon

Looking south from the head of the pier to
the Grand Haven beach

Some pics of the water breaking over the
pier

This dude was just standing there letting
the waves soak over him.

it's windy, the seas are rough... and still
she manages to look good...

...the water breaking over the end of the
pier...

Looking over Maggies' shoulder at the waves

...and now looking back down the pier on
the way back to shore.
