Well, I hope, first of all, that everyone is safe and well - it's a pretty blowy affair, right enough.
I went up to New Brighton for a few shots yesterday at high tide. This was before the peak of the storm, and it was a fairly low tide. But ...here you are...

Any stormy weather mostly passed us by. Some gales on Friday night, lovely day yesterday and woke up to a dusting of snow this morning.

Very nice shot -- I would consider toning-down the blues a little, as on my screen I see a lot of blues. But overall this is a fantastic capture.

Cheers GFM...I'll have a look. Difficult to get the white balance quite right in such conditions!

Yes well I assume when you refer to New Brighton it is the new pier? In 1990 I did visit Brighton Pier and observed the the remains of the old pier ,is it still there?

Ah, no...New Brighton is a small town in the Wirral, near Liverpool, about 280 miles away from Brighton on the south coast of England.

Its an amazingly graphic photo of the power of the ocean/sea. Where were you to take the photo, and hope you did not get your feet wet...

 

[winchestergoose]

Thank you for that explanation. I was not aware of that fact.

Thanks Mark..I was standing at the edge of the water looking out over the waves a couple of dozen yards away. Fully waterproofed, wellies and everything!

Excellent shot Pete, love the colours and atmosphere.

Thanks Ryan!
