A wave that crashed against a sea wall during a storm in France apparently showed Poseidon’s face.
The beautiful images show a face with a crown in the crest of the 30ft wave as it burst into the shore during the devastating storm Justine.
Photographer Mathieu Rivrin captured the incredible moment near his home in Lesconil, Brittany, saying he was shocked to see the face of the Greek god of the sea.
The 31-year-old said: ‘When I took the pictures, the strongest waves of the storm hit the French coast.
‘The waves were 10 m high and when they hit the wall, the explosion was sometimes about 50 m high.
“I saw the incredible image of Poseidon with his crown coming out of the ocean with his face in the wave.”
“I want to show you all the beauty, elegance and life that a wave can offer you.”
