The Big Wave

Boris Yaro

Los Angeles Times

In the seaside community of Farida, CA, homeowners and firemen strive to prevent homes from being damaged by a wind-driven sea. As they ponder where to best place sandbags they are caught unawares by a large capricious wave. The huge wave curls over them and drops its watery load onto them as they scramble to brace themselves against a wall.
