Winter - but that isn't snow

At last an intermission in all the rain we've had recently, so we hopped into the car and drove to the coast. It's also been very windy recently which has whipped up the foam off the waves.

Beautiful. I love sea foam. We get it here too after strong winds and storms.

Great dark and windy beach. No surfers or dinghies I imagine ?

@ducasrouge actually Serge, around the corner at Raglan there were loads of surfers out on the left hand break

It looks like someone has emptied a huge washing machine! I have seen this myself on my travels!
