No Swimming!

No Swimming!
Ballantoy harbour and the aftermath of strong winds at sea bring in these adventurous waves. I am stood on a big rock alongside a good few other people, all mesmerised by the pounding waves on the sharp rocks. Not a place to fall into but to study the strength and beauty of nature. Gazing at this photo you can almost feel the spray in your face, hear the pounding thunder of the wave crashes and smell the salt in the air.

see Pip for full harbour view.

...ich rieche das Meer und meine Brillengläser sind vom Salz, das der Wind mit winzigen Wasserpartikeln trägt schon ganz beschlagen. Ich atme ganz tief und frei. Die Lunge ist glücklich über so viel frische Luft! Danke!

When my Spanish brother-in-law visits Cornwall (most summers) he likes nothing more, on a day such as this, than to watch the waves for literally hours. I know just what he means, very calming and therapeutic, despite the inherant violence of the waves! A good capture, Herb!

Yes, both I and my wife Eileen just love to watch these waves like this. Very calming. Cornwall was good too.

Keep fit. Herb

I love the way you have captured the waves cascading down the large rock Herb, and the water looks beautiful with lovely colours....not that I would want to be in it on that day, but would be very happy to sit in the beautiful harbour and watch the waves.

All the best, Rosa.

This is brilliant Herb............you've captured the movement and power of the waves beautifully. The sense of movement, is particularly evident in the foreground, especially when viewed large.

I love the colours in the waters too.........and the contrasting dark rocks. It's easy to see how watching the waves can be mesmerising!

Hi Keith, like with one or two others above it seems that this has hit the spot. I said on the photo of the harbour that I had taken a few and so one or more still to come. Very happy that you have enjoyed this one.
