I love the little wave peaks like fingertips, or like a fractal pattern, each wave has several tiny waves, each made of several tinier waves. It evokes the idea of Indra's Web, or Indra's Net, an infinite net or spiderweb covered in dew, where every droplet contains in it the reflection of every other droplet, an expression of pratityasamutpada, the dependent origination of all things.

Damn, I love that view. I dont think I’ll ever look at it the same.

I also enjoy how the fishermen are looking at the waves below, yet the great wave above will likely be their demise.

Oh wow I never really noticed that. That's definitely an apt metaphor for all people of all times. The universe loves to misdirect us with one hand while it slaps us with the other.
