Wind blowing and waves crashing

I popped into town to have my hair cut today... Stepped out the door of the hairdressers and got blown away.

I had a brief stroll along about 1/4 of the pier before the gales drove me back; but not before I took a few shots of the sea; strangely it wasn't as rough as I'd expected it to be given the high winds!

(In case you were wondering, the pictures were taken in colour!!)
