Unridden, with good reason


From West Oz.  Somewhere.  Don't know where and not really that anxious to find out.  I have plenty other waves to surf before I intend to be snapped in half.  

Yet, I think the greatest pity about this shot is there's no sense of scale.  Any guesses?  6 ft? 12 ft?  could be anywhere in between that.  We know its not small, and not colossal.  And heavy.  And I guess that's enough to scare the bejezus out of most of us.  

Still, I bet every single one of you pictures yourself standing there with a grin as wide as that pit on your smug mug.   Hopefully that smile lasts longer than the situation that allows it.
