Weekly Photo Challenge – Beginning
Of a new years winter of stormy high tides. In the first photograph, it looks like a scary sea monster is heading to shore!

Reblogged this on apithanosg.
Thank you very much for the re-blog 🙂
Brilliant!
Thank you very much 🙂
Excellent shots of one angry looking ocean – Happy New Year
It was angry, it did get worse but there was no way to get down there by that point, it was too dangerous by then.
One word for this! Rad 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Wow, what dramatic view and weather. And yet it looks sunny. Were you out there?
I had to shoot these into the sun, it was very bright but very stormy. I was on the prom (I shouldn’t have been as it was closed so shhh) I had very limited time as it was getting worse so it would have been unsafe to stay any longer than I did. I think it is going to be quite bad tomorrow also so may go down there again. I do love the sea when it is wild.
Oh my gosh… those waves. Wow. Great shots! 😀
Very wild and wonderful.

Nice work! Wow!
Thank you, It was amazing I just wish I could have stayed and got more but I really had to get off there! I am sure this was nothing compared to how it got a bit later.
We live an hour or so from the coast and often remark about going there for a storm. Perhaps this will be my inspiration. Glad you got off of there safely.
Beautiful light and lines. Great work, so beautful
Thank you so much.
thank you for shooting them!
I love how you captured the waves so lightly in their force!
Amazing!
Thank you x
Great shots. I’d end up getting washed away!
You kind of know when it is time to get the hell out of there. There is always a better shot but… you need to go when the time is right 🙂
The awe-inspiring power of the sea… I, too, was wondering how close you were to those waves and you answered it already. Where was this taken – it looks European to me…
Hi, it was in Cleveleys near Blackpool in the UK 🙂
I saw on FB, posted by a Scottish friend, that there is a lot of high water coming your way…. (44 feet tall waves?) be safe…
Yes, we have had some very high tides recently. No too much flooding thanks to the sea defences doing their job thankfully.
What can I say Jo. You’ve done it again.
🙂 Thank you x

Thanks for taking me back. On the second photograph isn’t that what used to be Norbreck Hydro on the left? Ages since I’ve visited Blackpool.
Yes it will be Norbreck 🙂
Wow – no donkey rides today then – Happy 2014!
Ha, not a chance 🙂

Excellent shots!!!
Thank you Judy 🙂
Brilliant shots you have there! I thought it was Blackpool! No mistaking that tower eh? And very pleased that you got well clear before you were swept away – please take care!!!
Thank you. I keep far enough back and use the zoom lens for these. You cannot mess about with the sea. 🙂
Great photos! I’ve never seen the ocean look so terrifying.
It is magical to live close enough to see this. Watching the sea in all her glory is good for the soul. 🙂
I go into withdrawal if I don’t see the ocean often enough. I worry, though that when we move it will be inland (obviously cheaper) and be an hour or more away. I suppose it won’t be that bad. But getting my ocean fix will take more planning.

That first photo knocked me right out of my chair. Terrific, fabulous!
Thank you so much for your kind words 🙂
Those are some scary waves. Thanks for the like of my Weekly Photo Challenge post “Beginning”.
They were indeed. You are very welcome and likewise.
Outstanding photos.

Thank you very much Janet 🙂
Beautiful shots, Jo. Really mighty.
Thank you very kindly Stefano. Loving your work as always too.

Wow, impressive! Must have been one hell of a storm!
It was a very high tide indeed. Quite windy but all in all not too bad. It is great down there when there is a high tide, guaranteed drama 🙂
Fabulous images…
It’s so violent out there…
Thank you very much indeed 🙂
Wow!
🙂
Great pictures! Looks like some of the hurricanes I went through along the Texas Gulf Coast.
Awesome shots, I can feel the power from here 😀
The Pacific Ocean here in Australia looks truly passive compared to this churning beast that you’ve captured in these shots.

Hey Jo,
So what is a numpty? I think I recall an English girl referring to numpties at a school camp once. ???
regards Peet
The first is AMAZING ! 😮 🙂
Hah! It’s finally clicked, your secret: talent …
This is excellent!!!
