The Power Of The Sea


We are being hit by the tail end of hurricane Katia here on the  west coast which is resulting in very stormy conditions.

 
  

 
 Our normally calm beach front is rather wild at the moment.  I took my life in my hands (only joking - I'm no fool) and went out this morning to shoot these pictures.  I think there is something quite thrilling about the power of the sea.

By the time I got home I was soaked, windswept and cold. But I really enjoyed it I found it very invigorating.

WOW! it amazes me that these hurricanes can wreak havoc along one coast, then spin all the way across the ocean to do it again! :)

We are having the tailend of Katia here today,
not nice,
wild winds and heavy showers + power cuts across Ireland.

Fingers crossed that we won't get the snow predicted for October!!!

Take care

I love the ocean too, in all it's moods, and miss it since we moved to Alberta from Nova Scotia. Your photos are great - you really captured the force of the storm.

I find it odd that you're writing about a hurricane....in Scotland! Amazing.
