    Very windy over here as well. Makes one want to travel though; maybe due to living about 3,000 miles away from home.
    Please have a good and safe Tuesday.

    For an odd and unexplained reason I rarely imagine the Mediterranean like this and it's gorgeous.

    I feel a little sea-sick just looking at that water.

    I never did understand why surfers headed out to see the minute a hurricane alert goes off! Look at those waves! Scary!

    As I sit here at the computer with the torrential rain beating against the house, I cannot imagine why they should want to be out in such foul weather!

    @ Traveling Hawk - The libeccio is a westerly or south-westerly wind, I just fixed the link in the post.

    Great shots! These guys are crazy, the sea looks scary...
    I'm sure I've missed something here today: it was Code Red for almost all our coast, the waves were expected to be 8 m high, but I couldn't make it to the shore...

    Everyone else seems to think this sea is scary. It looks alright to me, except that it is unusually dark. Great action shots of the surfers, VP.
