A wave that crashed into a sea wall during a storm in France appeared to show Poseidon’s face.
Stunning images show a face with a crown on the crest of the 30-foot wave when it crashed ashore during the destructive storm Justine.
Photographer Mathieu Rivrin captured the incredible moment near his home in Lesconil, Brittany, and said he was surprised 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 were impacting the French coast.
“The waves were 10 m high, when they hit the wall, the explosion was sometimes about 50 m high.
“I saw the amazing image of Poseidon with his crown, coming out of the ocean with his face to the wave.”
“I seek to show all the beauty, elegance and life that a wave can offer you.”

Poseidon was the god of the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses in Greek mythology and was often depicted riding a chariot drawn by sea horses.
The 31-year-old French photographer said the 30-foot waves created 150-foot explosions when they crashed into the walls of the sea.
