Tahunanui Beach

I had to go up to Nelson this morning and although I usually drive in to town over the hill, today I knew there was a fairly high tide so I went around the port in the hopes of catching the waves coming over the sea wall onto the road. None of my photos were very satisfactory so I've blipped a different one instead.

The sun was shining brightly behind me, but the clouds in front of me were indicating a different sort of weather on its way. I like the way the sun was catching the whitecaps (and the seagulls) but the clouds were darkening the beach as a whole.

It's unusual to see Tahuna beach like this - we don't generally get an awful lot of driftwood because the bay is so protected but some rough weather has obviously left some 'gifts' behind.
