Waves and Splashes in Black and White …

Now that we are in the season of chilly mornings and warm afternoons, I held off today and went along to Rissers Beach for a beach wander at just before 1.00pm, which coincided exactly with an extremely high tide at 1.70m, the highest for this week.

Indeed, it was perfectly grand morning’s outing, perhaps one of the best I had since moving to the South Shore …
