Description
These shots were taken, by a stranger, of me doing something which could have killed me!!
I was just walking past this gentleman, who had his camera set up to catch spray coming off the Cobb Wall at Lyme Regis. I apologized for walking into his shot, and carried on, with the results here for you to see.
He shouted "GOT IT" and I shouted "SO DID I". I was absolutely drenched and had to go home, approx 13 miles in the car wet through, but my camera was ok!
I exchanged email addresses and by the time I got home the kind man had sent me the pics and with his permission I show them to you as a reminder that the sea is mightier than thou!!!

You were very lucky. But I do understand.. have done idiotic things trying to get just the right shot too, lol.

If it makes you feel better, Jeff, I did think that too many times and even with the wind whipping you that after the water in the sand! But it's exciting! Too bad I do not have the Foit remember!

Speaking of wave spray in yesterdays posting - this is real storm spray. Nice of your new friend to share photos. I can't believe that you camera was still dry. Spectacular photos and excellent presentation. I bet Julie gave you the look when she saw the photos.

I wonder, did you take pictures yourself at that time? Of course I'm happy July still has its Victorian friend at her side. But I also like seeing the adventure. Sometimes taking a picture, we take risks. The pictures shown here, are spectacular, love them! Thank you so much for sharing, and telling about your stupidity :D. btw I'm so glad you wore a hat, you too, Jeff?

Thanks for the lesson, Jeff. We do tend to loose focus of reality to try and get a 'The Shot'...! Clive
