Stormy weather.

                                               Grey day. Newcastle, Co. Down,  sea front.

                                                                  Waves were crashing.

Looking towards the Slieve Donard Hotel.

                                   This is how it looked in the summer with the tide right out.

Fancy a dip in the Tropicana?

Too stormy to get out of the car.

We always go to The Strand and look out at the sea but I've never seen it so rough.

Looking towards Slieve Donard

.....and this is how it looked in the summer...

........and now the waves are crashing over the promenade.

                 This family couldn't resist having a closer look ... it was so noisy and exciting....

                                                           but they soon turned away......

                                                           ....because this was coming!

After that, we headed for Tyrella beach.
Mad dogs and English(wo)men...... but not quite the midday sun.
