A strong wind got up yesterday afternoon, driving the snow and hail into your face.\u00a0 Just the sort of weather to photograph waves at Port Erroll Harbour at Cruden Bay,\u00a0or so I hoped.\u00a0\u00a0 The wind was certainly strong enough when I parked the car, so strong that it took me all my strength to open the driver’s door against the wind.\u00a0 There were are couple of herring gulls posing for me, sheltering beside the sea wall. I didn’t need to get out of the car, just wind down the window to photograph them. Indeed as soon as I did open the door, they flew off.<\/p>\n

\nBut the wind was blowing from the land, and the only waves and spray to be seen was far out in the bay.<\/p>\n

\nThe light, though was interesting, making the little waves splashing in the harbour a bright grey blue colour. I took a few boat pictures as I walked with the dogs.<\/p>\n

\nStanding out among the old containers used for storage along the edge of the quay is one beautiful shed. Clearly the owner is artistic, decorating his store with a life buoy, some scallop shells, netting and lobster claws.<\/p>\n

\nMy gulls came back and watched as I took my pictures of boats, dogs and of course, the shed.<\/p>\n
