Sea, Skies and Shingle

Another holiday video, bringing back, on this freezing November day, welcome memories of a warm and sunny day in August.  A favourite - and usually deserted stretch of beach - the only irritation that day was someone's bloody dog, which kept coming to within a few feet of me and then yapping incessantly at me.  Its owners finally called it off after I threatened to throw the largest stone I could find at the little bastard.  Some careful editing has removed the yapping from the soundtrack.  Actually, as a brief aside, I absolutely hate that when dogs take it upon themselves to stand at what they think is a safe distance and bark aggressively at you.  It happened to me today - I was sitting on a bench in a local country park, enjoying my day off, when this bloody dog came and barked at me.  I wouldn't mind, but its owner, who finally managed to call it off after it had ignored her for a couple of minutes, didn't offer any kind of apology.

Getting back to the film, nothing much happens.  Just lots of waves crashing on the beach or onto rocks.  I look at it as moving wallpaper.  Personally, I find the sight and sound of breaking waves highly therapeutic.  I do put in a brief appearance toward the end.  Oh, and there's a final shot of my hat, sitting on the beach.  What does it mean?  I haven't a bloody clue.  But it does make for a great shot...
