I am pleased you came on our walk through the pictures I posted. It is a great compliment.<br /><br />I am not a sea lover, but even I have to agree with what you say, though, relaxing seas are not when there is a storm, or a fierce gale, like today. I think the sun and the height we were walking at made all the difference to how we and the camera saw the scenery. <br /><br />Yes, the 'throne' and so well placed, was rather unexpected!ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-89403317656975180182014-04-12T16:28:53.592+01:002014-04-12T16:28:53.592+01:00ZACL,

Seas are fascinating and relaxing to look. Then the end! What a surprise! This is the most hilarious post!!!<br /><br />keiko amanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009453048859594709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-33963601685184398012014-04-08T20:27:42.497+01:002014-04-08T20:27:42.497+01:00Thank you for your comment Vincent.

I was happy that the meeting tides picture developed the way I saw them. I took about three pictures of the tides from slightly different angles - determined to digitally imprint the scene. All were visually clear, and the one shown, I felt did it justice.<br /><br />:) - Looby Loo; definitely a loo with a view.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-74369837941305082212014-04-07T21:27:03.992+01:002014-04-07T21:27:03.992+01:00Hi Snowbird,

It was very necessary...not to forget the sunglasses, of course!<br /><br />The Drownings Memorial was on land on the cliff area on which we walked. I have a medium long lens on the camera, which, could easily make you think we were closer to the actual shore at beach level than we really were. We were high above the lapping waves. <br /><br />Well, the W.C. had its affect on us too, we just stopped moving when we saw it and I got out of the car to get the evidence of the weird scene. xxZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-89107887616271980102014-04-07T19:12:44.194+01:002014-04-07T19:12:44.194+01:00What a great walk, and, I suspect, a feeling of sa...What a great walk, and, I suspect, a feeling of satisfaction from having braved the wind successfully.

Shame about the wind but hopefully you were both well wrapped up. How moving to see the names of those who drowned, I've never come across that on a beach before. I loved the views and the pic of the tides meeting. <br />Good grief!!! A toilet just plonked there....why???

In the winter you get such days, sometimes with icy conditions, when the atmosphere is dry; what without the blasts of wind, would be called healthy Alpine weather.<br /><br />Like you, I wouldn't be tempted out to an exposed coastal area, out of choice, in horrid weather conditions.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17674921.post-44837700532667471142014-04-07T10:42:38.094+01:002014-04-07T10:42:38.094+01:00Sounds like a great expedition, and the pictures i...Sounds like a great expedition, and the pictures illustrate it well.
