Anna Bay

Clear blue skies and blustery winds today, quite chilly too, winter has returned for a few days I believe.

You can see how breezy it was if you look at the spray on the waves.

In the distance you can see the Stockton Sand Dunes. They begin at Anna Bay and go all the way to Stockton in Newcastle. 32 kms of dunes. I believe they are the largest continuous mobile sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. I would imagine that the sand has shifted somewhat today in all this wind.

Aaaw ! I love the colour of the sea with the white crest of the waves -fav

[Yao RL]

I thought it is rather gentle comparing what we have experienced in the weekend. We have not have a proper winter yet.

[Wylie]

Brr, looks cold! nice shot of the feel of the day.

Simply gorgeous seascape Babs full of lovely colour and detail, we are having a mini heatwave with temperatures between 26 and 30 degrees C for the last week its expected to last this week then back to rain, lol:)

[Valerie Chesney]

[Ethel]

Powerful weather. I enjoyed seeing sand dunes explained a little more

[Catherine P]

Lovely scene and capture

[Babs]

@beryl Thanks Beryl, the wind definitely blew away the cobwebs.

[Babs]

@yaorenliu It was definitely windy enough for me. I nearly got blown off the cliffs.

[Babs]

@pusspup I think the weather report said low of 12 C and high of 17 C, but the wind made it feel much colder on the cliffs by the ocean.

[Babs]

@pcoulson Heatwave 26 degrees. At those temperatures I only just begin to remove my thermals, ha ha.

[Babs]

@jackie8 @quietpurplehaze @hermann @happysnaps @cmp It was a very exhilarating walk.

[Babs]

@ethelperry @cruiser Thanks, Birubi Beach at Anna Bay where the dunes begin is my favourite beach. I just love the sand dunes. When you are there walking over them they just seem to go on for ever.

[Paul]

Looks a bit choppy out there. A beautiful capture though :)

[tony gig]

Lovely view and shot.

[gloria jones]

[Merrelyn]

Lovely seascape,Babs. It does look chilly :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

So pretty and refreshing looking.

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Lovely sea view if a bit rough, that's the sea not you Babs.

[Taffy]

Fabulous blues!

[Margaret Brown]

Beautiful blue seascape

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot of a beautiful blue sea and nice looking coastline.

[Masquerade]

So fresh and clean looking - I can feel the breeze!

[Islandgirl]

Rough waters and lovely blue colors!

[KWind]

I like the waves and water colour!

[Barb Newcomb]

Looks quite chilly!

[Rachel]

So that is where the wind has gone. The boys tried to go sailing on Sunday, and no wind :(

[Marnie]

Blimey Teddy, that is brass monkey territory!

[Babs]

@ladymagpie Believe me Heather I was a bit rough when I got back to the car too. Talk about a bad hair day, I frightened the natives.

[Babs]

@888rachel With the wind here yesterday, your boys would have been in Tasmania in no time.

[Babs]

@golftragic It was more than wild Marnie, it was positively furious. The air temperature wasn't too bad I believe but the wind chill factor gave me goose bumps.

[Marnie]

@onewing Looks pretty damned awful Babs. We've been having a series of intense lows coming through, each of which brings fierce winds and squalls with it. Luvvly!

[Dawn]

Fabulous image

[Joyce]

Beautiful scene Babs. Gorgeous colours

[Stephanie]

The sea does look abit rampant, nice to see such a clear blue sky though. 20 miles of dunes and moving sand, how amazing, is the whole distance walkable?

[Jane Morley]

Ss just the place to blow a few cobwebs away! Lovely.
