Brant Rock (Marshfield, MA)

It’s the time of the year again when hearty New Englanders hunker down and storm the stores for candles, batteries and, of course, bread and water.  Yes, hurricane season is upon us.  However, this recent stormy weather from Saturday, as bad as it may have been, was not a hurricane.

Waves as high as 7 feet crashed down in some parts.  Although it was not a hurricane or a Nor’Easter, the wind was strong enough to push you and your car around and the waves spilled over the sea wall in some parts.

Weather like this really puts you in your place.  We are no match for Mother Nature.

It was almost impossible to keep my lens dry and clear which spoiled some of my shots. I decided to post them anyways.

The waves crashing along the rocks gave a hypnotic effect.

If not for my ocean soaked clothes, being pelted by sand and the whipping wind, I could have stayed all day.  It reminded me of how some things that are so beautiful can be so dangerous.

Of course, Brant Rock wasn’t the only place hit by this storm.  Stay tuned for my next stormy destination.
