You'll catch a chill by

Or a "quare foundrin’ " as we might refer in Northern Ireland.

Taken at Portstewart Harbour, Northern Ireland, on a stormy September’s day, on a Canon Eos500.

This was always going to happen, and I was waiting, I had been waiting for some nice shots of the waves breaking, and then this brave chap went up with his dog for a wee look over the harbour wall. Classic. Wish I had got it a little sharper though but I had to rush!

Also makes you ponder just how strong the forces of nature are, and how we are starting to harness them to provide energy… though the same forces could quite easily have left this gentleman taking an unexpected swim. Fortunately he did not, and I showed him and his wife the picture afterwards, they were most amused.

    excellent shot!

  • thanks, i was glad to get this one, more glad than the chap in the picture but he was asking for trouble! perhaps he felt the dog needed a wee rinse.
