Storm

Red sky at night is supposed to be a shepherd's delight but last evening's sky failed to warn that this morning's east-southeasterly would be gusting to gale force. This is the mouth of the Golspie Burn looking towards Dunrobin Castle while....

....parts of the town's 'promenade' - a kind way of describing it - were impassible from heavy spray.

I love standing as close as possible to such waves, short of getting soaked, and watching the breakers lift, lift, lift, and then curl over to break in a froth of foam. Doing it from shore is great but try it from the bow of a ship butting into a heavy sea.

We walked a mile or so along the coast but as soon as we turned inland the rain arrived.
