The ocean in a storm.

The seagull was sitting placidly dreaming of either a fish, or his girlfriend.

But then he had a rather rude awakening as you will see in the next photo.

Some will call me crazy, as there was not another person in sight standing out in this weather at the beach.
But I love a salt crusted face as the wind blows the sea drops over me. That taste of salt as I lick my lips tells me that I am standing right close to the stormy ocean. I bet that many old sailors will agree with me, as there is nothing like a taste of the raw sea.
Come and have a look.

Eeeek! An instant ice cold Atlantic shower that will rush any dreamer straight out of their mental desires.

So wisely he decided to move a bit futher into the old jetty.

There on the horizon you can see more rain coming.

Flying high in the low clouds must be a great experience.

Did I tell you that when the waves hit the low wall were I was standing, the wind blew the sea all over me.

A lovely shot of the wind driving the waves and I think that in a few years time that jetty will disappear.

This one came straight over me in the misty clouds.

I lifted my face to the heavens to allow the fairy rain to wash the salt off my face. It was indeed a great experience this morning at the beach, but it was time to go back, as I knew that soon we would be delivered to a drenching session again.

And I was right as here is the rain on our study window as I type this now.
We got home just in time.

So we are at the end of yet another adventure and we hope that you have enjoyed the photos.

And That's All Friends!

Thank you and this is my last reply of the heap and I think also my last !BEER

Yes, I love to catch birds in action and I was waiting for a wave to strike the jetty under that bird. He certainly awoke with a shock and I hope that he didn.t hear me laughing at him, as next time he might poop on my head Lol.
It was great fun.

Nice story accompanied by cool photos as always Zac 😃

I like the first, fourth and seventh photo most, I could imagine taking a long exposure shot of the jetty, but the coolest is the one where the seagull got surprised by the wave 😁


!BEER and !WINE and !PIZZA - perfect 😃

Hahaha, thank you Hannes and that seagull definitely got a real wake-up call 🤣

Yes I think a long eposure of that jetty will really do a great job. Some time last year I did a history post of the jetty and it's amazing to see how times have changed.
Glad that you liked the photos.

Cheers and thanks.

Luckily I had enough photos taken yesterday afternoon for my two posts today 🙏

Cheers and thanks.

Hi Zac,

we have had sunshine and blue skies all day long, but I haven't left the office, window blinds down.
The next week should be nice, says the weatherman - I bet the week after will be bad, because I want to take it off 🌧️

So sad to sit in an office on a nice day and I remeber at school I sat in the classrooms staring out of the windows at the sky every day. Not to the teachers delight I may add 🤣

Here we we have topsy turny weather. 22C today, then 28, 31, 26, 18, 17.
I hope that your off week will have great weather my friend.

Cheers and thanks.

Yep, sitting in the classroom was always hard work - you know how patient I am ;)

Most times when I don't have to go to work the weather turns bad. So I think I will have bad weather next week, because this week is quite nice. It's not very warm, but the sun is shining.

Oh yes, it must have been even worse for you methinks,

That happens so often, one great weather week in the office and then a drab week when one needed a bright week.
We are at 28C today and tomorrow 31C, then Friday we drop to 18C with rain and Saturday 17C.
Sunday will go up to 22C.

Cheers and thanks.

It's going to be too cold for the motorbike anyway, so I don't really care how the weather will be. Dry would be better, but if it rains I can drive into the opposite direction anyway 🤣

Yeah, that's right as when one is in a car it doesn't matter and on the bike it always matters.
Hahaha, you will cerainly end up in another country and if it is also still raining there you might end up in China 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

Hahaha, in your case your bank cards won't work anymore, as you spent them all empty in your travels and you will be arrested as an illegal immigrant. They will suspect you as a spy and lock you up for life 🤣
So you will need a good lawyer and best that you keep my number on your phone 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers and thanks.

Good thing to be in a Chinese prison would be that I might be the tallest there. I would just have to pretend that I know how to fight Kung Fu and Karate and would be the king of the prison with best food and servants and other accommodations 😉 - no lawyer needed 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha, you are really a very funny mountain goat.
I heard that there are some vey tall guys and they like to make foreigners, especially mountain goats their wives in prison 🤣

So you will have to seriously become a Kung Fu specialist or else you will have to get some lipstick 🤣

Cheers and thanks.

I prefer to train hard Kung Fu - day and night and also in the shower, especially in the shower, and never let the soap fall 🤣🤣🤣

Hahaha, so funny Hannes. Not a word more will I say about this, as your answer is too good 🙂
Maybe just this, never travel long distances by road unless you have the proper navigation tools in the car 🤣🤣🤣

Cheers and thanks.
