Wild Seas. by happypat

Wild Seas.

Looking towards Blackpool from Clevelys this afternoon at high tide.
Blackpool Tower is in the distance. As you can see the sea was wild & high so I didn't go as near to the edge as those people. I am frightened of the sea & it horrifies me when I see it like this.
The cinema, which is why I was there is right behind the sea wall & I very nearly decided not to go.....sense prevailed in the end & I soon forgot about this churning water when I got inside the warmth.

Three good things:
1. Saw Rush a film about James Hunt & Niki Lauder...I really enjoyed it.
2. I had the foresight to put a casserole in the oven before I set off so tea all ready when I got home.
3. The wood burner is on tonight.
Excellent photo

This is excellent, Pat! Such a fabulous composition with that angry looking sea! I love a wild ocean like this. A fav for sure!
October 9th, 2013  
Oh Lordy, this is really terrifying, I am scared of the sea when it's anything less than completely calm. It's a really great shot Pat. Superb!

Gosh looks,like those people could get swept away. Brilliant capture, well done you for being so brave!! Lovely feeling when supper all ready, I feel so proud when I am organised. May join you in lighting the wood burner.

This is fantastic - I love the sea like this - great composition too

Fav for me too. I love a wild sea - there was an exhibit at Tate Britain called 'the wild sea' and it was a collection of maps and old postcards which were all tinted photos of wild seas around Britain. Want to go and see rush - glad it's good.

I love English seascapes - great capture

I'm like @judithg , love the sight and sound of wild sea! This is in the town so different from down our wild coastlines! Your photo is really good getting those sticky-up things in front of the waves!
October 9th, 2013  
Fav! Such a sense of foreboding is conveyed in this photo.
October 9th, 2013  
Wow I can almost hear those waves breaking . a marvellous sea scape a fav

They are mad getting so close to those waves! lovely shot of the sea though :)
October 9th, 2013  
Brilliant photo Mum! Definitely a FAV
October 9th, 2013  
Wow! What a wonderful scene! I think I love the sea most when it's stormy and showing its power! Great capture!
October 9th, 2013  
Great capture. I know what you mean about the sea. I am very apprehensive when it is choppy like that.
October 9th, 2013  
fave fave fave Pat, the people give scale and add drama to your wild seas
October 9th, 2013  
came back to FAV
October 9th, 2013  
Powerful wild seas, I wouldn't want to stand where they are standing! wonderful shot Pat, Fav
October 9th, 2013  
What a lovely dramatic scene Pat and I particularly like that it is in b&w. it looks really wild up there in the norf. We seemed to have managed to hold on to the mild calm weather down here for most of today but as I write I can hear the wind gathering force outside, so think our Indian summer is about to end as well. Fav for this lovely shot.

Fabulous shot. love the drama, and sense of scale with the people there. I even like the framing of the tower in the background. Fav.
October 9th, 2013  
This really shows the power of the sea, especially with the people there to give it some scale. Very dramatic.
October 9th, 2013  
What a wonderful shot. Love it. FAv

Congrats on this dramatic photo - PP - that's awesome!
It is a great photo! It has such power in it with the ocean and waves and spray. You are smart to be afraid of it!
Great composition and processing.
October 10th, 2013  
Just found this and a fav for me, too - looks a bit scary though! Wood burner and casserole, what's not to like, Pat?!
October 10th, 2013  
A fab shot and well worthy of its PP place.
October 10th, 2013  
Great atmospheric shot

Greatly capture of the roughness of the sea!
October 10th, 2013

October 10th, 2013  
Wow what a stunning shot and well done on braving the elements. Well done on all those fav's too - guess it must be on the PP? I don't post every day any more so I miss out on commenting some days.
October 10th, 2013  
Isn't it just one of the best things when you put something on to cook and its waiting when you get in? I really should do it more often
October 11th, 2013  
FAV! Love a churning sea, nature at its best
October 11th, 2013  
Congrats on the PP with this, well done!

Wow what an amazing shot, that sea is really churning, great capture.

Wow! That is a serious sea - you'd have to be pretty foolhardy not to treat it with respect.

I liked Rush, too - surprised me. But I saw Sunshine on Leith this week and LOVED that. Total feel-good, if you get the chance!
October 11th, 2013  
@jewelsandbinoculars It was a pick between Sunshine & Rush but as Rush had been out longer I plumped for that....will do the other next week! Thanks!
October 11th, 2013  
Great drama! We had a weekend in Blackpool last October and the children remember it as the wettest, windiest, waviest place they had ever been!!
October 12th, 2013  
Great photo. The people on the dock are really taking a chance. That sea looks plenty rough.
