Every year, Hubby takes me to the beach on Christmas Day. This year we went to Patea, which was a busy port in it's day.
At first glance, I thought these folks had put soap in the water to simulate snow! But, according to Hubby, in this weather, the seaweed gets beaten to a pulp (literally) by the tide and the air bubbles that make the foam on the waves cling to it as it's blown around.
The black sand from the beach gets blown everywhere.
