This is the first shot, the rising water can be seen in the distance, a fringe of whitewater and a few people running from it. In La Manzanilla the wave came in just slower than a person can run, this was fortunately, no one was killed in La Manzanilla. Note the white building at the water's edge. In the second shot, the wave has come in much further. The photographer has moved back about 50 yards between the first and second shots. The water is now past the central plaza (which is visible on the right side of the first shot). In this shot the central plaza is about where the painted palm trees are in the distance on the right. For the final shot, the water has moved past the truck. The running people are also closer. The time separation between the second and third is not as great as between the second and third. (can you blame the photographer?, most would be off and running) Also, look again at that white building from the first shot, it is now leaning to the left. Its foundation has been undermined and it is beginning to collapse.
