This is a quality
unmounted
giclee photo printed on an 8.5 x 11" glossy photo paper (***includes wide white margins which are part of the print) by longtime Hawaii professional photographer Bill Romerhaus with caption, history, and photography information on a separate label from an original black and white photo that was hand colored and copied to a Velvia transparency, printed on Epson premium photo paper with archival inks, of Waimea Bay beach during large surf on the north shore, 1978. ***Please note that it is initialed ('BR') in black ink, not seen here, in the lower corner, and **may need to be custom matted to fit a standard frame.
The forty foot plus waves were washing over the beach and down the berm into the Waimea valley rivermouth. Body boarders were able to stand on the beach and ride the whitewater as it ran down the backside of the beach. The foamy water was going all the way to the parking lot on this exceptionally big day. You could feel the thunderous booms of the giant waves on the beach! The original black and white was featured on the inside cover of the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper, and published several times.
It is a nice artistic photo and looks almost like it was painted with a watercolor brush, or surrealistic, which is the effect we wanted. Please be aware of this.
It was featured in our award winning photo history book: "Haleiwa: A Pictorial History" available at our e-Bay store. It is one of our more popular images at retail locations in Hawaii
and would make a great birthday or holiday gift for someone who likes this surf break, the north shore, or scenic surfing images of Hawaii.
They are popular reasonably priced decorations for restaurants, offices, homes, or stores where people can see them.
We're proud to mention that many of our photos were used as background artwork in the new CBS television network series "Hawaii 5-0". Our original photos are very popular and affordable to local people and tourists visiting Hawaii, as well as people who have never visited Hawaii and production costs are lower than most folks so we want to offer affordable quality art for people who might not otherwise be able to afford it. We feel we are preserving and promoting the history and culture of Hawaii to Kama'aina, visitors, and other folks at a reasonable price to display or share with others. With proper care it the manufacturer says it should last many years without fading if you carefully follow display instructions included on the label on the back of the print.  It is also available in 20x30 inch size unmounted and larger sizes.

PLEASE ALSO NOTE:
e-Bay's transfer process and the computer screen may make the photo look contrasty and slightly darker or lighter, depending on your monitor brightness and contrast settings. The color hues may look slightly different and may have a different tonal range and brightness than you may see on your individual computer screen. Please be aware of this. It is printed on a full sheet of 8.5 x 11" photo paper and **includes white margins as part of the print. It makes the print look like there is a broad wide white margin at the top and bottom of the entire print (which you can see if you look at the photo.) An 11x14 inch frame (or larger) with a custom cut mat from a frame shop or art store is the suggested way to display this photo. This is recommended for best visual and artistic impact in displaying this photo, although many people are happy using a standard  frame and displaying the image as is.
