Bonus sea-scape!

[curiouswombat]

Today the sun has been shining, but it has taken the sea a bit longer to settle. Tomorrow is going too be wet and stormy again, so the weather man says, and so I bring you a bonus picture - snapped this morning, this is a nice day, down at Gansey, looking towards Port Saint Mary. Perhaps still the sort of sea you might not want to go out onto in a rowing boat, though...







Nice day for surfing though!

Lovely!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

It was just so beautiful - and when I do the pic post on Sunday you will be able to see what a contrast it was to yesterday.

What a gorgeous day! I'm jealous. The ocean looks so inviting! It's grey and sort of ominous looking from my house-- which reflects the cold, windy, drizzle, but isn't nearly as scenic!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

It was not really inviting - the water would have been very cold!

Nice day for surfing though!

This was my first thought, too- or sailboarding! I've seen sailboarders on Lake Washington (the big freshwater fjord east of Seattle) and on the Columbia at Hood River when there's chop like that; once you've got the neoprene to survive the average water temperature, air temps aren't much of a problem.

Julia, a couple of years ago a guy got caught in an offshore current at Westport and ended up blown all the way to the Quinault Reservation in a November storm. Surfers got no sense.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

I was quite surprised that there weren't any surfers - there quite often are on that stretch of coast. But I think I'd need not only the neoprene but a full set of thermals underneath...

But I wouldn't be surprised if they were down there surfing at lunchtime.

Those do look like good surfing!

I don't think I've ever seen green hills reflected in the ocean like that before. Nice effect.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Our hills are reflected in the sea so often that I hadn't even thought about it!

[fenchurche.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous!!!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[kathyh]

Looks gorgeous. We had a very grey and wet morning here, but it brightened up this afternoon. No beautiful sea to look at though :)

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

It has been a really bright day today - but I gather it's going to be horrible again tomorrow...

[jerusha]

Wow! That's a gorgeous shot.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you - the sea sort of invites me to take its picture regularly!

[patientbear.livejournal.com]

And you could take one every day and I'd not get tired of it!

[deird1]

Pretty!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you - yesterday it was not so much pretty as pretty impressive - I'll show you on Sunday.

[sammywol.livejournal.com]

Picturesque! Better for surfing than ferry crossings though I'd guess.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Yep - although the boat did sail today, and must have made reasonable time as she was back at her usual time. Yesterday she didn't go anywhere - Britain was cut off...

[inzilbeth-liz.livejournal.com]

I can almost smell that sea spray!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Yesterday I tried to take pictures of the really stormy weather - and was so close to smelling the spray that it got all over the lens of the camera!

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Looks like stormy weather on Lake St. Clair although usually the water would be grey.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

This icon is one I took yesterday...

[gillo]

Pretty - and nice to see some decentish weather for a change.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

It's been lovely today - but is, apparently, going to be horrible tomorrow again... :~(

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

What a gorgeous view and beautiful picture! Thank you for sharing.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

My pleasure - sunshine and 'white horses' is a fairly unusual combination around here!

[shirebound]

Oh, that's so refreshing!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you - it's my pleasure to share.

[missmurchison.livejournal.com]

*sigh*

I miss the ocean, living as I do about as far from one as is humanly possible.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

I would find it very odd being that far from the sea, I think.

[melegyrn.livejournal.com]

Ahh, what a sight for sore eyes! Thank you. It was quite wonderful to see this picture today as we continue to have rain and clouds. We've had 4+ wind and rain storms come through here this week. The bay was grey today--everything was grey. So very nice to see blues and greens and...oh, what's it called...sunshine?

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Glad to have brightened up your day as well as my own.

Today we are back to heavy grey sky - and when I go out later I will doubtless see heavy grey sea too. It is 10.30 a.m. and we have all the lights on - without them it would not only be too dark to read, but too dark to see what we ate for breakfast etc.

So that brught, blue, day was a welcome respite!

[patientbear.livejournal.com]

hysterical icon, btw :D

I am not going to make yet ANOTHER post to tell you how beautiful this is, so I'm just saying it here. I LOVE this picture! It was very unusual, at least to this landlubber in the USA!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

I mad my winter icon last year - and I like it so much I am keeping it for this year too. Took me a while to get all those people to strip off... :~D

There is more sea in this week's 365 project post - which I will get together this afternoon, when I've taken a picture for today.

[ayinhara.livejournal.com]

That's a beautiful seascape.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you - the sea is such a good subject - it changes so much even when you stand in exactly the same place.

We, so many of us, are blessed in our surroundings - you will have wonderful cityscapes right now (I am right, you are in your NY home for the winter?).

Perhaps we ought to do another Where I Live Day.

[ayinhara.livejournal.com]

Yes, we are in the New York phase of our year. I'd love to do another "Where I Live Day".

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

ooh -- I might freeze to death doing it, but I'd like to play in those waves.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

They were good waves - powerful but not overwhelming. This icon is a picture I took the day before - and they were definitely not good waves to play in!

[ozma914.livejournal.com]

When I was a kid, we usually only got to swim in small lakes -- thus, small waves. So we loved diving into big waves whenever we could, and I'm sure there were times we did it when we definitely shouldn't have. I'd like to think I'd be more careful these days!

[bojojoti.livejournal.com]

Such a lovely view!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Thank you. It is one of my favourite views, even though it is simply taken from the side of the road where there is a place to pull in. That bit of road was closed the day before for a couple of hours either side of high tide, and you can see why, as the waves were much higher the day before.

[hesadevil.livejournal.com]

I can see the swell even though it's a long shot. You live in a truly beautiful place.

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

You'll have to come and visit sometime!

As I've said before, carrying the camera with me all the time, and having people on LJ to share with who don't know the island, has given me a new appreciation of how beautiful it can be.
