2018.10.30 Stormy weather
The past few days have been very stormy, causing the waves to be swept up a lot. The beach will probably still be present under the surf, but there is hardly anything to see of it over the entire coastline. It’s an impressive view, seeing the waves break on the rocks. I feel sorry for … Read more
