I am told that this looks like a peacefull scene - the camera does lie.
Having setup on the beach I was hit by strong winds driving horizontal rain at me. I stood huddled over my camera to protect it from the weather, trying to decide if it was worth staying there.

After twenty minutes of this, the rain relented and a hole apeared in the clouds. But if you look carefully you can see the next belt of rain approacing on the horizon.
