Penguin Island Jetty At Sunset_DSC8442

Tonight's sunset was a bit disappointing. We didn't stay for long because it was too cold and windy. It felt as though we were being sand blasted. Even the birds seemed to be having trouble. I can't believe that it's nearly Christmas and I had to wear a jacket.

@gaylewood Thanks Gayle, we live about 5 minutes drive from this beach. If I haven't taken anything I'm happy with, I often head to the beach for sunset :)
