Rain & wind have been big features of today. Because the wind is blowing from the south, opening our front door can be a bit hazardous. A failure to control could result in being thumped is the wind pushes at it.
I wanted to get to the waterfront. The separation at the port entrance gives you a good idea as to what the water would be like outside the harbour – rough.
There is something about being out in rough weather, especially if you have the right clothing. My main waterproof coat has served me very well sinnce 2012 – £200 well spent (I wasn’t confident at the time. We were in the Lake District, I needed a coat, and it was the only one that fit me. Wearing the right coat helps feel comfortable, handy when it comes to taking photographs.
The coast may make you feel comfortable, but I didn’t have my monopod with me, and the wind was buffeting, so I wasn’t confident about taking a long-lens shot of the harbour entrance, to show just how rough it looked out in the Solent.
I really relished being out in the fresh air, even if it was rough.
