You will be surprised I haven been up there, but the broken rocks below me of course I climbed on those:)) The sea washed away the whole parking area, I had big trouble turning around, but of course I had to see this destruction of nature:)
They told me how it all happened in such a short time! Be well my sweet, big hugs to you, Jenxx

You have an amazing eye for details my dear, you are the first who mention it and it looked so great with this foggy background! Thank you for that!

I do get more and more surprised as what the sea can do to us, giving food and taking lifes, even if you are on shore! Ok, why did I demolish, well I thought the stairs looked ugly there and you havent seen the destroyed toilets yet..lolll
No time to relax, hope you did start your lectures to the Sudanees, maybe you could show them the camel and some other shots from there and tell them please they are the most kind people in Africa:))
Big hugs and kiss, Jen

Wowwww....you are spoiling me dearest Stan,
you know how to treat a woman, I love this
sunset!!!
We had thsi huge flood in 1953, just before I was born, and I remember my parents telling me how this happened, they even had some victoms in there home for quite some time, the sea too alot of people, since then we build dikes, more dikes...but if water wants to wash away, nothing can help....
I dont watch TV very often, I did like the Olympic games, to see how these Kenyan skinny men won of all the spoiled runners of the world:)
Its sometimes great to see how a very tiny island wins a medal, not because of the medals but to see their power and strength!
Thanks for the lecture my dear, warm hugs Jenxx

No dought you walked up that ramp. Seems to be happenning all over the world these big tides. The world seems to be getting colder. Nust be natures way of cooling the place down with all these storms. Wonderful shot Jen. Hugs Keithxx:)

What I like most here is the turbulence at sea level and mountains at the horizon.
The Sea was taking and giving and shaping the earth long before mankind existed (and starting to make pictures :-) so nothing surprises me any more with respect to the Sea.
One thing of you, Ok just one thing, lol, I can't understand very well. Why do you go so far to demolish the properties of others so agressively. Just for making breaking news and splendid pictures ?
Have a nice Sunday dear and now relax a bit,
Paul

Not only Holland...water is the most importand component of our life,if we don't respect it,
we commit suiside.
Suggest turn off TV and see Grander Water web site.
Have a good time at this amazing lecture.
Big Hugs,
Stan.

Morning my dear Michele, I am happy you found the little gift, I only know one..lolll
You are so right, they never had this distruction of water, houses were there for ages already, its like the sea even is changing and takes its own route! I am afraid it effects Holland too, our islands are moving and start to wash away...and they are really small! Wishing you a lovely Sunday and some rest after all the partying..loll
Big hugs and kisses, Jenxx
