Jesus Clouds

Jesus Clouds

Good afternoon all, it’s so windy out that I just want to stay inside today!  Emily and I took the dogs to the North coast this morning and we did some more trash photos.  At the entrance to Saint Joris bay where the untamed ocean meets the land there are a few coves there that are piled deep with every kind of plastic container known to man that has floated in over the years.  As Emily and Indi stood high above on the rocks I was below shooting the trash but we had to stop because of this big cloud that came and blocked out the sun but at the same time creating a unique photo of it’s own.  We ended up having a pretty fun morning although I ended up getting pretty wet.  We were walking along these shear cliffs when I yelled out to Emily, “be careful…. and before I could finish my sentence a monster wave from below rolled in and hit the side of the rocks and soaked me!  I was going to say” be careful not to stand here”  but never even got the words out of my mouth!  And we were at least 25 feet above the water line!  After that we walked further down as far as we could until we were standing on the North coast just looking out at nothing but rough seas.  There the waves rolled in one by one and smashed into the coast, it sounded like thunder and in the mist and spray was a beautiful rainbow each time, I’ll send that out tomorrow.  The important part is the dogs had a great time and are now asleep.
 
Aimee and Emily are working today I may jump on the bike and go riding later but really hate to be out in this stupid wind!  Hope your having a great weekend, Barry
