Yesterday I went to Fly Point to take some photos. This side of the bay is usually sheltered but the wind was so strong yesterday we even had waves on the water.
I loved the danger sign. In case you can't read it, it says
DANGER
STRONG CURRENT
NEAR AND AROUND THE POINT
SWIMMERS BEWARE
No kidding!
Pretty cold again today but the sun is shining. It is still windy though.
Great atmospheric capture, Babs! Sadly, we had a young friend lose his life years back by venturing unwisely out onto a rocky point there in Australia. A rogue wave swept him away and his body was never found. Danger signs are meant to be heeded!
@bjywamer Indeed the signs are needed but many see a scene like this and still venture into the water. We had three drownings at Fingal Bay not too far away from here in summer by people (usually tourists) who just didn't appreciate the power of the water.
So sorry to hear your friend lost their life.
@bjywamer Sorry for your loss. I agree with @onewing I have seen many people ignore danger signs and just go out there anyway for the thrill of it. A whole family of 4 were lost just yards from the place we stay in Scarborough for exactly that reason. Appallingly sad but the signs were there and they chose to ignore them.
I wonder how many people have ignored it through the years and gotten themselves in a fix. Those are some rough waves- and people will still think they can handle it. Good shot.
Westerlies blowing here today.. Shiver!
So sorry to hear your friend lost their life.
@kjarn Much calmer today but still cold.
@jamibann I wasn't going to venture into the water to read the other signs.
@ankers70 I could hardly stand taking this photo too.
@olivetreeann I guess quite a few people have ignored the signs over the years. They just don't appreciate the power of the water
@randystreat You could be right Kathy but I wasn't going to venture into the water to read the other signs. ha ha
