Looks Like Lambie's Beach
This photo taken of the beach somewhere along the east coast of Canterbury is SO reminiscent to me of my childhood. Friends, the Lambies, had a farm which bordered onto the coast at Pendarves and it was just like this! Steep cliffs topped with broken down fences, always at least one dead sheep at the bottom, scrunching stones, crashing waves and a sense of brooding almost-danger. We used to take our horses down the treacherously narrow and winding path to the beach and they always picked up on the atmosphere or our fear or both and turned into wild things, barely controllable with flaring nostrils and tails held high like flags, prancing and skittering over the stones and carrying us dangerously close to those fearsome waves. The stories of salmon fishermen, dogs and other hapless creatures who had entered the water along this coast, been dragged out or beaten by the undertow and never returned were legendary and never far from our minds when in this sea's wild presence. What a wonderful photo. What wonderful memories.
