Storm Bay (nominative determinism) - a photo on Flickriver

            Looking southeast into Storm Bay from inside Port Arthur, Tasman Peninsula, Tasmania.

Arthurs Peak (280m) and Budget Head form the land parts caught in bright sunlight as a nice bit of weather was moving across the bay. All this while the tour boat jockey was blathering on about a golf course behind the camera. Appeared to be only a couple of other sailors on the boat and we were all spellbound by the drama to seaward.

Storm Bay was named by Dutch navigator Abel Janszoon Tasman in 1642 when a storm forced his ships out to sea before they could anchor there. 

Shortly after this pic the tour boat was enveloped by gale force winds and driving rain - no surprises there.

Fuji X-T1, XF 18-55/2.8-4. 1/850th sec at f/9, ISO 200. Two frame stitch in PS, edit in Nik.

Technically the water just outside the heads is Maingon Bay - and part of the Tasman Sea but... :-)

A very big 'Thank You' to everyone that views, faves and comments on my work! It's really appreciated :-)
