Wild seas

'Tis the season of very high tides and wild seas once again. The weather has been so bad that we've been cooped up indoors on many occasions, but sometimes there's a lull and we quickly head out before the next downpour.

The first photo was taken on La Terrière beach. The sea was so strong that we both got wet feet trying to avoid the incoming tide! It looks so beautiful that's it's hard to imagine the heavy rain before and afterwards.

The other photos were taken by the new jetty over a couple of days. The cloudscape almost makes you want to paint (oops, no talent being the reason why not)! It's really hard to capture the exact moment when a wave crashes over the rocks, so apologies for my feeble efforts. The whole carpark near the jetty was awash with sea water, it draining into the Plan d'Eau. I love the way there's a crowd watching on a day like this when there's practically no-one around normally.
