Filmed at 120 FPS and presented at 1/4 speed. Winds gusting to more than 50 mph (measured 42 mph by hand anemometer in a single 30 sec sample), W veering WNW towards noon. Note the violence of the waves; not just near the primary lighthouse but along the pier and beyond.
What else do you find interesting? Can gulls really fly faster than 50 mph? Without flapping their wings? Think about this...
Photo conditions were less than ideal, wind in face, sand, some sleet, bright horizon and dark foreground all conspired to create poor stills. The dynamics in the video however are still observable so I spent about half my shooting time on video.
