Bad Weather Day by phil_howcroft

Bad Weather Day

I'm still a week behind in posting. This is last Saturday and it was an unusually bad day 'weather wise'.

The forecast for Saturday was dull followed by sun, but it was dull.... rain ..........more dull......more rain .......followed by more dull and dull ...the sun did briefly shine about 17:00 hours.

The sky looked great against the sea and beach and was worthy of a picture. I actually managed a swim in the sea a few minutes before I clicked the shutter for this shot.

A few minutes later we were running off the beach looking for shelter as the skies opened and the rain fell

I managed to get a couple of people in the picture to give it a bit of scale and make it slightly more intgeresting

Apologies for another beach picture but 365 is meant to reflect what we do each day and this is what we did last Saturday

The sky really brings out that beach!

..i quite like getting rain soaked when at the beach (now and again) esp when its abroad.
the sea/sky colour here is wonderful.

Great colors! And yes, the sky looks menacing!

I love this one , the sea & sky look impressive but it is the white surf that really makes this for me !!

Lovely colours, and I love the crash of water against the rocks.

This is quite beautiful. I love how people go to the beach and hop in the ocean then run for cover when it rains in case they get wet.

Beautiful

Glad you still enjoyed the beach, even though the weather wasn't great. Beautifully composed beach shot!

Pardon the group reply, busy weekend schedule means I'm still struggling to catch up with posts and comments :)

Thanks everyone, your support keeps me gong :)

I don't think I ever tire of beach pictures, nor forest pictures, nor of sky pictures, for that matter! I hope Menorca was wonderful. When I was in Spain, we took a side trip to Mallorca and had a fantastic time. Beautiful!

@meredithwb thnx Meredith , Menorca, Ibiza and Mallorca are all very similar Islands.......did you go on the wooden train from Palma up over the mountains, through the olive groves and lemon trees to Sóller and then the tram down to the port of Sóller...it's a fantastic trip
