Typhoon Wave

Found this photo online last year, during one of the big Asian typhoons. Looks like one of the biggest waves ever photographed. I suspect it's amplified by some backwash. Kind of an enigmatic photo. I wasn't able to find any additional info on it. And it's hard to get a reference point. There are some building at the bottom of the photo. Using the building at the lower left, the waves looks absolutely huge. In any event, this has been sitting on my desktop for a while now.



Update: Found this Spanish page (translation) which has a little more information:

This is a giant wave in Ilan, west of Taiwan caused by the typhoon Krosa; the photo was published by APF in Yahoo! Reddit and although some people suggesting that it was false or is the effect of colliding against any rock or large structure. Still the size is impressively large.
