The North Sea

Living by the sea has its good and bad points. I find it annoying when a persistent 20mph cold wind races to shore from Norway, or some other frigid place. The water provides wonderful scenery and awesome displays of power, however. I decided to take a few pictures that show what I experience every day while walking along the North Sea.

This picture is of St. Anderws Harbour, which was once a bustling port.

These next pictures are of St. Andrews Pier. It is tradition for students to walk along this pier in their academic robes. When the seas are rough, it provides an exciting walking experience!

These are pictures of St. Andrews Castle. It served as a stronghold for the Catholic Church in Scotland until the Reformation, when Protestants destroyed the building in retaliation for fellow Scottish Protestants who lost their lives to the flames of martyrdom.
