Highlights of The Ocean on The Rocks

in #hive-1503293 years ago

By now I think it is no secret that I love the ocean and I especially love to see the surf breaking on the rocks.

I would like to start today's photos at the break of dawn. It's fresh, it's peaceful and calm.

No rocks, just a calm ocean at the beginning of a new day.

I have taken the first two photos just after sunrise on the beach in Umhlanga Rocks.

It was cloudy but peaceful.

The two photos were taken minutes apart.

I spent some time, walking on the beach, and soon the clouds started lifting and it became a fresh, bright morning.

From here we'll start moving towards the rocky scenery.

The next photo I took was while I was taking a walk on Warner Beach.

It was also a nice, clear, sunny, and calm day.

I loved the white foam from the surf, washing over the rocks...

But let's have some fun. Let's move on to a walk we recently had on the beach, just south of the main beach in Amanzimtoti.

The weather was what many would call "bad weather". It was cloudy and windy and clearly, we had some rain coming. The timing was also good as the tide was clearly coming in.

The surf came thundering towards the rocks.

Masses of water came charging towards the rocks.

The surf kept breaking closer and closer to the rocks and the water started covering the rocks.

The water started coming right up to where I was standing.

I was fortunate enough to catch this "splash" on the rocks.

And this one...

I loved how the water was covering the rocks.

I think I was able to catch this wave for a good shot just at the right moment.

And last but not least, of course, I had a fisherman on the rocks with me...with a nice "splash" to his left.

I had a ball taking photos that day until the rain forced me to leave.

As time goes by, I'll share more of these photos.

Thanks for reading my post. I do appreciate it!

Enjoying it too buddy, i was born in a seaside town not had much chance to go back there, i did get to Brighton a couple of years ago, i think i will plan a trip once the weather improves here.
Thanks for sharing mate
Have a blessed day:)

Sounds like a great plan you've got there! I hope the weather plays along nicely!

Hey - these are some really great photos. I love the outdoors generally and find there is something very uplifting about experiencing nature. The sea is beautiful and you have captured it excellently in these photos. I am not near the coast but hope to have the chance to go somewhere similar later in the year.

Have a great weekend mate!

Wow! This is awesome! Thank you so much!

Congratulations on becoming a minnow @jacoalberts 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you so much, @arcange!

It actually came as a surprise... Yes, I have my goals to grow my Hive account, but I didn't know I was ready to become a minnow! What a nice surprise!

Looking forward to you becoming a dolphin 😅

BTW, I noticed I miss your witness vote.
Would you mind casting one to me? It would be much appreciated!

Sure! I have just done so.

I'm not so familiar with the technical side of things...lol! So, maybe you can just check if you can see it and if all is in order?

Thank you!

Success! Thank you for your support @jacoalberts, really appreciate it! 👍

Only a pleasure👍

I believe the pleasure of watching the sunset from this place will be more. The place is really beautiful.

I'm glad you liked the photos!

Have an awesome day!

I would love to experience the beach once again. It's been two years. Things aren't yet looking up here. Rumors of another lockdown -- that I hope would remain nothing but rumors. After all, it's 2022 and we all have lockdown burnout. So refreshing to see your photos and read your stories. Thank you for sharing.

Sorry to hear that you are still restricted by all those regulations. And as you say, let's hope those rumors of another lockdown remain just that...only rumors.

That just makes me realize how privileged we are over here to have the freedom to move around again.

I am glad to hear that you find my photos and content refreshing. Thank you for that feedback, it means a lot to me.

Thank you for the curation and for your support, I really do appreciate it!

I hope you can experience the beach again really soon!
