Lord of the winds! I feel thee nigh,
I know thy breath in the burning sky!
And I wait, with a thrill in every vein,
For the coming of the hurricane!
I know thy breath in the burning sky!
And I wait, with a thrill in every vein,
For the coming of the hurricane!
The Hurricane by William Cullen Bryant 1854
This weekend we headed home to Cornwall. We are both weather geeks and love a bit of extreme conditions. Following the reports of expected bad weather we decided to do a bit of storm chasing and headed to the most Southerly point in the UK. These photos were the result of the storm chasing...the exhilaration of gale force winds and the power of the sea took our breath away, the grins stayed all afternoon. Unfortunately the proper storm happened overnight and we slept through it, only to wake and find a tree had fallen over two cars. No one was injured and the cars have minimal damage. Hopefully everyone else on the South Coast of England are also safe and unaffected.

Taken on my iphone at The Lizard in gale force winds...I think the blurry spray marked photos add to the atmosphere!!
Beautiful photos. They remind me of my time in North Devon. I loved it on windy days and the waves would crash x
