Mother Nature put on a show over the weekend as big waves pounded Timaru’s coastline. Photographer Brian High took these images and video, which capture the power of the sea.

Big breakers . . . Huge waves crash into the shore at Patiti Point.
Top spot . . . Locals gathered on clifftop vantage points to view and photograph the stormy sea.
Swell time . . . While most people were watching the wild sea from a safe distance, these two brave souls headed into the water for a spot of surfing.
