Happy at Bombo Point

...ready for stormy weather.

Last night huge thunderstorms hit our region as a cold front hit southeastern Australia. In the highlands 20 kilometers from us it snowed. On the coast this morning it was only 3 or 4 degrees celsius, gale force winds, torrential rain and a predicted 5 meter swell. This afternoon when there looked to be a brief break in the weather I headed back to Bombo Point, hoping for spectacular dynamic wave action. It is great to photograph a place in all kinds of weather.

Love the feeling this evokes! I'd love to live by the seaside and especially when the wind gets it all whipped up like this! (Well actually I'd love it best in the sunshine, but I'd love this too!)
