A hard wind a blowin'........

Maybe it blows leaves off trees where you live, maybe it even rains sideways at times, but this is getting ridiculous! Around here trees are driven into sand dunes at amazing angles! It's best to seek shelter indoors when these kinds of conditions prevail.

How old do you reckon that hunk of wood is Gazza?

Ras, loggers wouldn't let a great log like that get away! ;-)

Doc, I'm asking around trying to find out, I think that tree has been hidden in that dune for thirty years or more. Recent beach erosion has lowered the area by about 3 feet and a lot more where the tree is because of the river mouth. The extra water there seems to have helped remove an additional couple of feet.

There's an interesting optical illusion going on in that photo. The sand piled onto the trunk of the tree looks like it's also a giant dune in the distance, behind the tree. It's really weird.

Cool beans.
