It was a cold and stormy day yesterday. We were blogging away when our SIL, David said, "Hey, look out of the window."
This is what we saw...I grabbed the camera and was lucky to get these shots from the balcony. Waterspouts are mini tornados, they usually lose momentum before coming to land.
So exciting you were able to capture the waterspout. There must have been a few about, as they were mentioned on the weather tonight.
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Jan
Wow, I'm glad they usually lose momentum. It's cold in Sydney? Of course I knew your seasons were opposite (really and I even know why ;>) -- but except for this post, your skies are always so bright and blue. Being originally from Oregon (dreary and rainy in the winter), I tend to forget that it can be cold when the sun is shining.
ReplyDeleteHow interesting ... I've never seen one of these.
ReplyDeleteWow ! what a spectacle ! Amazing !
ReplyDeleteWell done Diane. Photos came out well.
ReplyDeleteWhat exciting pictures! Not a good place to be in a boat at that moment.

What an amazing series of images Diane - WELL DONE!
ReplyDeleteLooked quite ominous, must have been quite a miserable weather kinda day.
Gosh, those are terrific photos - you were well placed to see it.
ReplyDeleteWow Diane... Great picture of the waterspout... I have seen pictures of them--but have never seen one in person. That was fabulous that you saw it and got some great pictures.

It is a scary sight! Tornados do so much damage here. I'm glad they lose power there before coming to shore. Your photos are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That is really cool. Frightening, but really neat!!!!

Amazing photos.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Diane, I haven't seen one in a long time.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant shots Diane. They are difficult to capture.
ReplyDeleteSeven Shillings Beach certainly is a peculiar name. I did a bit of research and it seems the name came from the price of the fishing rights on the beach sold by Aboriginal Gurrah, to local William Busby in the 1800s. I've added the info to my post.

Beautiful shots, Diane. We had waterspouts too few days ago. I just knew it from the news and saw some of the pictures from channel 9 website.
