Storms over the Cobb
A windy evening down at Lyme as the winds hit 60-70mph coinciding with high tide. It seemed at times as if the Cobb was under water as the waves rolled up the side of the Cobb, up onto the beach, round the end of the wall and down into the harbour.
The harbour was at it highest I have seen, overflowing on the car park and pathway. The mix of rubble being washed onto the Cobb's lower walkway along with the harbour overflowing caused the Coastguard to close off the path ... much to a number children's disappointment.
Many folks were out this evening to watch the storms including a few other Tog's trying to keep their equipment dry from all of the spray. An amazing evening, despite the gloomy and dull lighting, it was great to watch the spectacle.
The lighting led me to process this one in black and white to bring out the dark, gloomy nature of the event. This panorama is a stitched image of 8 different shots, blended together.
