winter seas

The 2016 winter has been very stormy and wet with a few sunny , calm days in-between. Consequently, we have seen  wild, surging seas along the granite coast west of the  Victor Harbor township and Rosetta Head.  The   picture below was made whilst on an early  morning poodle walk at Dep's Beach.

All the sand on Dep's  Beach and at Petrel Cove has been washed away during the storms.

This image  of a detail of the  coastal granite rock was made on an early  morning  poodle walk with Kayla and Ari: 

We had a morning of gentle winter sunlight amidst all the  winter rains.  It  didn't last as  it started  raining now latter in the day.  It is also very cold. More winter storms are expected. 

at Goolwa Beach

From a late afternoon poodle walk  on Goolwa Beach,  the Fleurieu Peninsula, early June,  the first month of winter:

Goolwa Beach is near the mouth of the River Murray. 

None of these patterns are around on the beaches around Rosetta Head, where we live. Nor do we get the late afternoon winter light on the sandy beaches .
