Wild wild weather

Dramatic weather visited us at the weekend. I walked to the pier and crept as close as I dared, to snap the photo below.
Splash gurgle crash
Fortunately for us armchair adventurers, the corresponding news article points to a gallery of photos snapped from even closer.

And afterward, as you'd expect, there's a bit of mess to clean up.
Needs a good sweeping

MP was over there the other day and told me how large slabs of concrete along the retaining wall had shifted.

The power of the waves.

Yep, the place gets a bit dramatic sometimes. It's also amazing how quickly those waves can move sand around - we could shovel for days or backhoe for hours, but it can all be undone in minutes by a few strong waves.

Cheers dogbait, good to hear from you.
