I don't believe that there is a more intense emotional feeling of vunerablity and fear that preceeds the oncoming of a major storm on an ocean front community. As it sweeps into your life with nothing between you and it. Dark and unknown forces coming. What a wonderful day to be alive. Great capture, I feel it coming!-T.G #1832316Margaret m.
