Wind whipping, shaping the waves.
Power, meet beauty!
Paula must have known that she was tempting me with this week’s theme. The weather played its part beautifully. I know that there are finer seascapes, but this one is mine- my north east of England coast.
Now, please go and be spellbound at Thursday’s Special.

Great seascapes, Jo! I adore water (as long as it’s not descending from the sky) A city just has to have a river at least. But the sea is way better!
