I am one of those mad people who loves storms. mybloggingplanet.com
A cold front hit Cape Town this morning, and it is a big one. We are being attacked by strong gale force winds and torrential rain, and not to mention snow on the mountain peaks.
Now, any sane person would be snug in bed, but where exactly do you think I ended up?
On my way home from work this evening, it was initially raining cats and dogs, but when I got to Milnerton, more or less the halfway point of my journey, the rain stopped but was now caught in a major traffic jam, so got an idea. My route takes me right past Milnerton Beach,so I thought I would stop to savour the glorious weather.
It was absolutely splendid I must tell you. It was half an hour after high tide, and it was on a spring tide on top of it. The wind was a very strong onshore gale force wind, so strong that I could not stand easily when faced with the full force of it. This is my most favourite time to go to the beach for me.
In the picture below you can see the view from Milnerton Beach. I am facing the direction where you can normally see Cape Town on a clear day. You can just make out a little of signal hill on the right of the photo.
