22nd January
After a clear and frosty night, this morning dawned with thickening high and medium cloud spreading in from the southwest, heralding the approach of the next Atlantic weather system. However, for a few minutes before disappearing behind the advancing cloud-sheet, the low sun cast a wonderful light across the Isle.

ESE'ly gales continue
Rough seas in Heswalls		  




Heavy seas running in Hesswalls.

With salt-spray, sleet and hail flung around by F9 ESE'ly winds gusting over 70 mph, not a day for the digital SLR. Fitting in the palm of a hand. my compact is a much better bet as it can emerge from the protection of a jacket sleeve to take a picture.
