Turn
I took this picture about 1/2 an hour ago, at the turn of the tide.
It's a bit hazy because, firstly, there was a lot of salt spray in the air and, secondly, because I had to use the zoom - I had intended getting closer to the sea, but the wind was in danger of blowing me off my feet. Those who know me will realise that this means it was very, very, windy!

But with the high tide and the wind today the road would have been awash - it was closed, and the buildings would have had their doorways sandbagged.
Occasionally the sea throws up a stone big enough to crack their windows, though.
The sea is a very good subject - well sometimes....
Hope you survived this blustery day.
I had the tram lines and a road, then a pavement with a grass slope beyond it, between me and the sea - so it wouldn't have been totally mad, like some of those people, if I had gone across the road, especially as we were above the wave height - but once I felt the wind I decided I didn't fancy landing on my backside, or worse!
