Backside of the Atlantic

This shot doesn't quite capture all the grandeur of the moment, but days after evacuation from Niger thanks to terrorist activities, we had the time to galavant along the beach of the other side of the Atlantic in Rabat, Morocco. Behind me, is the endless Atlantic. Before me, is a beach where some people were actually surfing (i.e. trying to surf) and some kind of old fort/ castle. To my right, was a sweet lighthouse. To my left, another jetty in the foreground and a city (part of Rabat?) in the background. Waves (not pictured here) crashed into the massive stone cubes strewn at the end of this jetty, spraying water on us. Note my ridiculous attire. If I shame the xc, we can take it down or photoshop in a speedo and some muscles.
