Storms!

Since early December, the weather has taken a rather windy and dull deviation from the pleasant conditions we were experiencing in November. The last week has been incredibly dull and gloomy, and the constant strong winds have produced some large seas. Unfortunately the lighting has been appalling for photography, and so I have very few decent images of the recent storms that are any good. Here is a small selection from the 22nd.
