Sea Storm - a photo on Flickriver

Sea Storm

A day on Holy Island (Lindisfarne), the weather had been quite dull and flat this morning, not really much to shoot and the sunrise had also been a flat non-affair.

The good (or bad - depending on which way you want to look at it) thing about this part of the world is that the weather can really change dramatically within minutes from blue skies to raging torrents of rain, walking around the island you could tell something was brewing as the sky darkened and the wind started getting up, from a high point on the Island you could actually see where the storm was coming in from and the direction it was going with the rain hitting the land under the dark clouds.

Finding a nice quiet part of the island was the next plan, to try and catch it as it passed and I chose this deserted spot looking back over towards the mainland, took a few shots then had to leg it towards the nearest building to take shelter before it hit the island, still managed to get a bit wet but nothing major and I'd like to think it was worth it. You can see the rain hitting the land if you view it larger.

I didn't escape the rain for long though as the exact same thing happened the day after, one minute calm and blue skies then complete mayhem, but this time I was sat on the front of a boat out in the Farne Islands with no cover on it, got an absolute drowning!
