It's certainly the best word to describe this teatime vista of the empty East Bay promenade in Dunoon, the street lights reflected fitfully in the surprisingly choppy sea that because the tide was so high was breaking quite splashily on the steps in a couple of places.

There were brief bright spells earlier in the day, when I was otherwise engaged; by the time I went out to post a letter and extend the walk just a little (to give me a 2 mile total for the day - sad, or what?) the wind had blown up, the air felt colder, and there was a spattering of rain.
