Most often when given the choice of when to go on holidays, I will choose the time when inclement weather can be expected. Not only because there are no crowds, but because the scenery takes on a totally different character, the mood of the places changes from that which is normally used to "sell" the place to which we are going.
Looking west from the ruins of the Augusta jetty showed the remains of a storm that had kept us in the comfort of our hotel unit all the previous day. But as soon as we could, we were back out enjoying the changes, watching how the local fishermen went out to sea regardless, and finding new vantage points to take some photographs. While the weather looks rough in this photograph, it doesn't show the strength of the wind just around the bend, other side of the dunes.
And the next day, a few kilometres around the bay, all was calm and clear.
