For the last six years photographer Steve Garrington has spent countless hours documenting the oceanic events surrounding a single lighthouse in Porthcawl, Wales. Built in 1860, the lighthouse itself is pretty run-of-the-mill, but the events that unfold around it as stormy winds sweep in from the Bristol Channel are anything but ordinary. Because of the point's unique sloped design, crashing waves are easily launched to extraordinary heights, especially during bad weather. It's a wonder the structure is even standing after all these years. You can explore more of his photography on Flickr, specifically his waves album.
