Following the peaceful scene depicted in my blog last night I think I might set your pulses racing with these photos of the waves crashing against our much buffeted seawall on the other side of our property. The unknown (to me) gentleman was at first oblivious of me capturing him on camera from the bottom of our garden on the other side of the railway line, then he heard the tell-tale bleep of my focuser and thereafter posed very stoically as the waves crashed and the water rose up in front of him. I hope he is a reader of my blog… or perhaps, if you happen to recognise him, you could tell him he is the star of my blog today?

Incidentally, I must tell you about a funny little typo I make almost every time I type the word, “today” (as I did a moment ago) – it nearly always appears as “toady” and I laugh to myself because I have another story up my sleeve involving the exploits of a handsome toad based on a real conversation between a couple of toads (but you will have to wait until I write it!).
