Wild seas

How exciting to have wild wintry seas off Kommetjie after such a long, long summer of flatness. One soon grows tired of calm seas (I speak as a landlubber) and watching towering walls of water tumbling into themselves and exploding in fountains of spume is as fascinating as watching flames leaping skyward from a pile of burning logs. Ever-changing energy made visible.
A walk to the lighthouse at sunset is not the ideal time for photographs as the spray diffuses the light beyond the optimal level, but dramatic scenes unfold nevertheless. The odd bird photobombing helps with the atmospherics!
Heavy seas bring hope for good rains as cold fronts approach the land, and we are definitely holding thumbs as the drought still has us in its unwelcome grip.
