Tail end of the first winter storm

Isn't Cape Town just marvellous? We woke up to clouds scudding across the sky with the odd heavy shower, tumultuous seas and real winter at last, and a few hours later there is nothing but blue sky stretching to the far horizon. We are currently bathed in golden sunlight, washing is drying on the balcony and the tumultuous seas continue to batter the coastline. Only the most intrepid of surfers are out there and even then they are nowhere near Inner or Outer Kom - that would be looking for some real trouble!
A little fishing boat set off for the deep sea in these massive swells - the photos show how it rose and fell, rose and fell. They must be mad!

 High tide brought much more exciting seas for me to practise my photography. Unfortunately I still have a long way to go and would benefit from some tuition! But nevertheless, these photos will enable those who are not as lucky as I am to live here to perhaps catch a whiff of the sea.
