Blustery Day

Unseasonal strong winds and heavy rain showers had the 'white horses' jumping with excitement!

@tonygig Thank you - just love a stormy scene!

[Darlene]

I've never heard that expression "white horses" - very interesting. A grand shot!

[A]

Impressive waves! Great against the moody sky

[Anne]

Super shot Catherine, the pavillion looks nice and solid amid the boiling sea

[colinbarber013]

I love the way you have caught the wave crashing into the breakwater

[Sue]

This is such a good shot, with the pier perfectly clear in the background, but also the water spray frozen in the foreground. Fav

[Walks @ 7]

An elegant as well as gorgeous shot. Your composition is so very cool. Fav!

[Islambad]

It was windy where we were at Berrow & Burnham on Sea today too - incredibly so but the sea was too far out to be giving any white horses! Great shot!

[Dawn]

[*lynn]

Where is this? What a grand place and shot. fav

[Catherine]

@lynnz It's at Eastbourne, on the south coast, UK. Thank you for the fav

[Catherine]

@darlenet Thank you! It's rather a quaint expression isn't it - looked it up as to where it came from - "Poseidon, King of the Sea, one day created the Horse. Breaking waves are referred to as the white horse as the crest of the mane can be seen as the mane of the horse and if you listen closely the faint booming of the waves crashing sounds like hundreds of hooves thundering along the ground" Isn't that lovely?

[Catherine]

@blueace Thank you. The sky was a sort of menacing grey/blue.

[Catherine]

@365anne Thank you. The pavilion had been painted recently and looked bright against the dull day.

[Catherine]

@colinbarber013 Thank you Colin and for the fav. Took several shots on burst mode.

[Catherine]

@suesouthwood Thank you and for the fav. Took several shots on burst in the hope that one would work!

[Catherine]

@joysabin I think piers are quite elegant - this one had been spruced up and looked very inviting. Thank you for the fav.
