Awesome Seas



There was a time years that seems like years ago when cooking for a dinner party for 12 was just part of my life.  This evening I had a small dinner party for 5.   It was a lovely evening but it did make me realise that a) I have forgotten how to judge the amount of  food people eat (I won't have to cook myself another meal this week) and b) I really love hosting dinner parties.

Following on from yesterday's post (sorry Tuesday's post - I'm writing this at nearly 1am on Thursday) how's this for a picture of the seas I referred to?

  1. Gosh, but for your comment I would not even have understood what I was looking at but would have taken it for a cloud... (And that in spite of just having got started on Season 2 of The Onedin Line!)

    1. It seems that all's well on Lewis, Virginia. Yep. Freezer has less room that it had that's for sure.

  3. Awesome! Hard to believe how much water breaks and flies into the air.

    1. Yes, Red, that's pretty high by any standards mind you.

  4. That is Impressive with a capital I. I thought it was a wave shaped cloud! I'd love to see something like that - as long as I was far enough away.

    1. Yes Pauline. I'd have loved to have been taking that photo as well but from a discrete distance. I have taken many photos from where that wave is actually breaking but when the seas were relatively calm.

  5. Wow! The picture reminds me of a series of paintings I saw in an exhibition some years ago in Stuttgart, they were all by the same artist and all about waves and splashing water and high tide, and VERY impressive. It felt almost like standing close to the Sea for real.
