Ocean Storms

Have you ever stood on the beach as the sun was setting and a storm was building on the horizon?

That span when there is this combination of incredible beauty and immense power all at the same time. The clouds build in the distance and pile up into thunderheads and race towards the shore. The sun is setting and turns the storm into towering columns of dusty pink, rose, gold and shades of dusky purple. It becomes a breathtaking moment when time seems to stop and all other things become inconsequential and all thats left is the majesty of it all. Then as slowly as you thought it was happening its over and the sun has set and the thunderheads are rumbling their discontent and then bottom drops out.

Sheets of rain chop the water and sand while the waves grow in height. Gulls scream through the storm and pelicans skim the choppy surface of the sea. The ocean roars and tears itself against the shoreline that holds it captive. As the ocean voices its anger so does the storm itself. The storm rages and sends shuddering rumbles through the air that shake your very insides and produce goose bumps. But however dangerous it may be it is also so thrilling that nothing could tear you away.
