This picture was taken at about 2.30pm on 12th March 2008. There had been a severe gales blowing for over 15 hours and the wind-speed had dropped to 56mph (90kph). This ship had just entered The River Mersey and relative calm!

I like this photo better than "It was Very windy yesterday" just because this is an up close look at the waves which truly shows just how windy it really was! Great Job again!

Let's go surfin' now, everybody's learnin' how....sorry I couldn't help it. Another cool shot of those windswept waters. Dramatic all the way. Even the sky is dramatic.

It's good to see this cargo ship returning to safe port Steve
But it leads me to wonder why was it out there in the 1st place ?

I just hate dirty cutlery !! A mistreated dog should try to leave a deposit on their masters best carpet, after all it's important to establish who's boss ... My gallery is here.

Oh yeah, this is calm, LOL! I enjoy seeing the action of the water vs "milkshake (read long exposure) water." A good comp and cool shot, Steve!

You've given us many good ones throughout this gale, but I think this conveys the most, as has been said. Another courageous shot on your part.

So dramatic - imagine being on that ship and this being the calmest water you've seen for a while. I wonder if this stormy weather will ever end!

Do not wait; the time will never be "just right."Start where you are and work with whatever tools you may have at your command,and better tools will be found as you go along.

I am so glad that I am not on that cargo ship! I can only imagine how bad her crossing must have been if this is the calm part lol. Another great wave shot.

Steve, you're capturing these stormy waters so well. Another good one here, that ship gives it that extra something too.

This is a river? Looks like the angry sea. Great pic. I love it and it's on my desktop. I wish I could travel more to see this and other beautiful places.
