This wave has always intrigued me from a distance. A few months ago I finally made the trek down to it on first light to see what it was all about. Photo: Ben Lee

My God, this was an amazing month for photos. I’m out of breath in my chair from the amount I exhaled in admiration after looking through them all. We generally try for ten images for our Best of the Month galleries – simply because it rolls off the tongue nicely – but you’ll notice we’re rarely able to stick to that. This month is no different. Think of it as the ten best photos of September… plus a couple of bonus shots.
Actually, it’s pretty much twelve bonuses.
