After the Storms - Sea Spray


We've had storms galore lately - they've gone on for about 10 days. Lightning, thunder and endless heavy rain - no electricity from Marseilles to Menton one day - fallen rocks and flooding.

Today I woke to rain again and then suddenly the rain stopped, the sun broke through and life on the French Riviera was back to normal again...

Here you see the sea crashing on the promenade where Roquebrune-cap-Martin meets Menton. You can see the Old Town of Menton in the distance. Part of this road along the sea has been cut for several days - the sea was coming over to the other side of the road - dangerous for cars and people.

  3. do your dogs get frightened during the storms?
    Mine gets so shaky during thunderstorms. I feel so bad for her, but there doesn't seem to be anything I can do to calm her.

  6. It always leaves a salty taste on me. I suppose it depends but that has been my experience.
