Wild Seas

One of my favourite photos taken the morning after the storm, shown in yesterday's movie post, is this one of the waves pounding the beach. It was September 2006.

Anyone care to go to the movies?

Today, instead of a photo, we are posting a movie that we put together. It is a combination of video and stills captured on the beach at sunrise after a big storm and Spring Tide. It was wild and windy, so there are times when the image stabilizer couldn't cope, but we hope the movie can convey to you how invigorating and stunning it was on the beach that morning. The background music is 'why worry' by Dire Straits.... which pretty much sums up St Francis, who can worry for long in such surroundings?!!

Wave watching

We love sitting watching the waves smashing on the rocks near the lighthouse, and on a windy day when the water is whipped back again, it is even better! A group of Cape Gannets does a fly-by and gets a birds eye view.

Wave over Sunset

This is one of my favourite photos that we have taken at St Francis over the years. We sat on the rocks at the 'wild side', beyond the lighthouse, and watched the waves pounding on the rocks as the sun went down.
