Storm rolling in - Colchester Harbour

The storm rolled in across Lake Erie. The inner harbour was still calm, but the outer surf was starting to pound.

The gulls were smart enough to come ashore... but if you look to the right side, you can see people still out in the water! On the right horizon, the stacks of the FERMI nuclear plant can be seen.

I did not venture too far out the pier - the spray was noticable even from back here and the wind gusts were making it difficult to stay still enough to shoot!

The waves were piling in to the mouth of the harbour... not a generous entrance even on quiet days - but today it would be very risky.
