After the storm

Lots of pics today. On Friday we went up to Newcastle for my nephew's wedding. Newcastle is a port city north of Sydney, so it should have been a lot warmer than down here. BUT on Thursday a huge storm it. When we arrived on Friday it was cold and windy and very, very wet. This huge cargo ship ran aground on the beach just near the harbour entrance. It was an amazing sight. I took these pics on Sunday - by then the sea had calmed down a bit, but as you can see by the wave it was still pretty rough. We were staying on the other side of the river so we took a ferry over to have a look. The rainbow pics were taken from on the ferry. I love the second one how the rainbow was coming down in front of the buildings. i have still a 1gig card of pics to PP yet so you may see a few more of these.

Hi Patti!
I've missed you. You got some gorgeous photos of some intense weather. The rainbow captures are lovely, especially against that grey sky. Lovely.
The wave hitting the tanker was evocative.

These are AMAZING! Love the clouds in the first shot... it looks almost unreal. And the rainbow pics are so beautiful!

It's weird to think of North as warmer than the South. I had to picture the globe on that one. LOL

Lovely rainbow. WOW! Really fantastic shots.
