IMO, this may have been more effective for Zen if taken not through the posts. The sunset and waves are well captured but I find the posts detract from what would otherwise be a serene scene.

WOW!PEACEFUL, YET ROUGH WITH THE WAVES CRASHING TO THE SHORE. THE SUN IS FANTASTIC. THE POLES IN THE SHOT COMMIT TO THE TRANQUILITY. 9

Although a beautiful shot, it seems to be lacking any true sense of zen.
