Come on Irene

eoren1

Irene has come and nearly gone. I ventured out at high tide and during a break in the rain to capture the first four images. Went back out after the rain stopped and the wind picked up to get the last few. And yes, I have had the 'Come on Eileen' song in my head for the past 24 hours :rolleyes

1. The Causeway


2. Spill Over


3. Castle Rock


4. Front Street (yah, I got a bit of sea spray on the camera for this one)


5. Spray Avenue (that is its real name)


6. Greystone Beach

Nice! I was tempted to head out today but I'm too far from the coast (as in it required a drive...).

My favorites are 2, 4, and 5.
I trust your camera survived the salt spray - did you have it in something or were you totally risking the elements?

Thanks Denise
Seems to be alright... Wiped it down with paper towels in the car. Cleaned off the front of the lens. The benefits (and dangers) of living in a seaside town I guess

#4 is AWESOME!!! it takes guts to get a shot like that, jeopardizing your equipment. But the result is so beautiful!

Love No. 7

Thank you both.
Abi- I was actually sheltered by a building but zoom made it seem like I was in the thick of it
Did get some spray on the camera but it was minimal
Appreciate the comment on 7. I had some water drops on the lens that I got rid of best I could but you can still see one dark spot in the water that I missed and a lighter one over a window on the house on the hill

Nice set, E. Love the shot at Castle Rock. The water certainly was driven up. Looks like the waves were being driven right up to the overlook.

5, 6, & & for me. It was way too dangerous at the coast down here for me to go.

Thanks Tom and Bryan
I saw some crazy folks up on the big rock at Castle Rock and later saw photos of a wave cresting OVER them. Police actually came out shortly after I took my shot and closed the area due to fears of winds pulling people off the rocks.

Good stuff, 4 is very cool.
