I loved this series ...

I was out at Boccadasse 4 or 5 times and each time the mood and the sea offered me something different.

Later, I heard that this storm was the worst in 8 years and I saw evidence of it where ever I went, from broken boats through to jetsam and flotsam littering beaches and rocky shores where ever I went.

The wind was pummeling me during these shots but I couldn't walk away ...

God Rays, Genova

I heard that god rays was the name given to these stunning beams of light ...

It was like watching a symphony as this storm came slowly down from the hills and rolled over the sea, with the clouds breaking open and roiling around.

It was truly stunning.
