Froth and fury

Explore #5 17/11/2022

Froth and fury - Being perched atop the outer sea wall at St Monans to capture the best view of the iconic zig zag breakwater below, has its risks even at the best of times. On this recent afternoon however, conditions were really rough to say the least, with large waves crashing over the breakwater and a moody sky to boot. Somewhat different to the ultra long exposure calm conditions I'd been so accustomed to on most of my previous visits to 'The Blocks'.

It was great to meet up with David Queenan, Grant Bulloch and John Pow on top of the wall, who not only provided great company and moral support for the crazy conditions, but also welcome shelter from the crashing waves too - thanks guys!

A dynamic image capturing some of the essence of the froth and fury enveloping The Blocks below.
