Description No wonder there's a light-house in the distance. The waves and swell here become really huge - this is, after all, the Cape of Storms.

Nikon RAW / NEF conversion using Adobe LightRoom Beta4.
Test run.

Apparently it is very similar - not that I've been there myself.

Many thanks! There'll surely be big waves out today as well - huge storm, but I'd rather stay indoors

Elorine In reply to substar [2007-05-21 16:00:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that's a most likely good idea to stay indoors when a big storm is raging.

Oh yes But it's not always possible due to jobs / school / other appointments and then the roads are all snarled up in traffic hold ups, accidents, water flooding the streets.... gosh, people here are so unprepared for Winter because usually we have sunny skies. But when our storms hit, they generally hit hard (not called The Cape of Storms for nothing - there's a long history of shipwrecks on our coast).

Do you often visit CPT? It's very hot here at the moment, but if you're from Durban you'll be used to that!!

Yes - but one must take care of the salty water near the camera
We get so tired of doing the hackneyed sunsets and seascapes - I guess we are just very spoiled here with the scenery!
