Wounded Dragon – This fine art wave photograph was taken on the south coast of New South Wales, Australia, during an early spring afternoon. Powerful waves surged over a submerged reef, crashing with force and fury under the golden light of the setting sun. The ocean heaved and roared, casting spray into the air as the glowing arc of the wave took shape – like a creature stirring from the deep.
This image embodies the spirit of the dragon – one of the most enduring mythological creatures found in cultures across the world. In Western legends, dragons are often winged beasts of destruction and fire, in Eastern traditions, they are wise, serpentine, and sacred. Across all tales, they are fierce and untamed – deeply feared, yet majestic and beautiful. To me, dragons and waves hold the same traits: awe-inspiring, unpredictable, demanding respect – raw and beautiful.
