Delicious…. sand (?)

Posted by Karl under: Uncategorized .

Today was the windiest day I have experienced here … so far apparently since it does get more windy from what I’ve been told.  Hoping for some nice waves I went to the beach after work.

Looking East towards the city the beach was deserted. The wind was just amazing I had to quickly just turn and take the photo and quickly turn back – I didn’t want the sand getting in the camera.

West was not much better.  Only be the stairs did I see some people.  The more interesting view was out in the sea.

There was this "crazy" guy (I think) flying out on the sea.  I guess someone was really enjoying the windy weather.

I tried to take some close up action photos, but 85mm was not enough of a zoom.  I would need a longer fast lens.

While taking these photos I was constantly trying to avoid getting sand in the camera, by getting it in my hair and face… sand is not delicious… too crunchy.  Luckily I didn’t loose my hat, though it did escape a few times, only to be chased and caught.
