Tidal Pool Swim

In Hermanus on Monday to collect our unsold paintings from an art gallery we decided a bit of tidal pool swimming was in order. We discovered Ficks Pool and decided that was the right thing to do.

A small tidal pool surrounded by rocks and a single low wall facing out to sea.
Kelp can be seen in the sea  beyond the wall.

The water was icy probably 16°C but still we swam and it was fun.

And I got caught by a wave!

We had coffee and a pizza in a restaurant overlooking the pool afterwards.

Cape of Storms

It has been a cold and wet winter. Floods, wind and icy conditions but there is an upside. The storm clouds look great in black and white

Not really black and white. I was playing with an app on my phone and managed to capture this

Wind Swept Waves

The South Easter Wind was really pumping through on Sunday.
I got some nice spray pictures.
