We've just had #StormAshley make some significant rearrangements to our coastline here on Seil.
It occurred to me that, because summer hasn't been good this year, the sea wasn't warmed as much as it might have been; if the sea surface had been warmed by another couple of degrees - not unusual - would the extra energy available have boosted Storm Ashley to be much more violent, with much worse results for the west coast of #Scotland & all the islands of Britain and Ireland?

There's a road under that beach somewhere

Storm Ashley was definitely making its presence felt over Derwent Water yesterday.
Swirls of water dancing on the surface as mini tornadoes formed and banks of haze over 30 feet tall being dragged across the lake as the wind rushed through Borrowdale and up towards Skiddaw.
The most brutal conditions I've ever shot in and some of the toughest light so here's a quick snippet. Compositionally poor, but the feeling of being there in the moment was astounding!
