I recently shared a bonus video of some footage from a stormy day in Stonehaven, Kincardineshire. In this 'Part 2' video, the wind direction has changed and this brings with it the nice effect of the sea coming right over the breakwater. Normally you can walk right along the top of the breakwater, here it's easy to see why they close it off when the elements combine to produce this (beautiful to watch) event.

Nothing wrong with that footage. Well done for getting out there and documenting it.
Thanks so much, just wish I'd had a tripod - more for keeping me on my feet as much as anything!
Hey nice to see you on Steve's channel 🙂
@@steve-marsh Quick suggestion: Get a tripod where the middle part can be detached as a monopod and carry that with your backpack at all times. Great for basic stability of camera and cameraman!
Being landlocked all my life, I'm fascinated by anything dealing with the sea, harbors, waves .... Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad I could bring some sea to you :)
Thank you Steve, the North Sea in a rage looks really dangerous. Cold, dark December at its worst. Time for hot soup!
Haha absolutely! There's never a bad time for a hot soup!
@@steve-marsh Bon appetit! Mine would be chicken and sweetcorn by Baxter’s or a Covent Garden mushroom...
The power and majesty of a winter storm, perfectly captured. Thank you Steve. 👏👏👍
This was, in my opinion, a wonderful video of the storm that day. Really beautiful music, too, thanks for sharing this!
That is amazing. Very powerful.
Cheers Katharine!
What an awesome living in the moment with Mother Nature plus the sheer tenacity in providing us with such footage. Now I need 2 cups of ☕☕Zivjeli
Wow, absolutely stunning. I had just finished watching Moving Art on Netflix, when your notification came on. This is equally if not better than anything I had just watched on Moving Art. I am listening to the howling wind outside, with fire roaring in the log burner, on the edge of Dartmoor wondering what life is like outside the moors, during another lockdown. Thank you for making a lonely person not so lonely for a few minutes.
I really felt this video too Sandra. I'm not sure what hit me but something did. I'm semi rural in the West Midlands sticking by all the lockdown rules and slowly going nuts I think. Close to tears watching this and wondering when I'm going to be able to go anywhere like this again. Steve's doing us all such a great service. Yeah, definitely over-sentimental this morning!
Coffee time.
@@Charlienmeg It is very difficult when you live with isolation. I use to enjoy coming off the moors and driving to meet my friend for coffee and to be part of society once more. However, I have found myself spending a lot of time staring out of the windows!! I also put my tins of food into alphabetical order just to help stop the boredom. But, then there is only so much you can do inside the house. I have my chickens to care for, and I also find myself watching these for most of the day scratching around, whilst longing for human company. Stay strong, there are many, many of us out there trying to cope with isolation, and trying to keep from going nuts.
@@sandraholmes7002 Thanks. I'm ok. I think i just went through a bit of a funk this morning. I haven't been sleeping well (weird dreams) and that's getting to me. I have plans tonight to build a fire outside in my fire pit, get dressed up warmly, have a few (many) cocktails and talk to friends on zoom or whatever it's called. We're having a night in 😁 Wish you could join us.
@@Charlienmeg Wow, that sounds like a great idea and great fun. My email address is s_laccohee@hotmail.com if at all possible to join in the fun. I can't remember what having fun was about!! I look up the word 'fun' from time to time to remind me. I haven't had chance to cut my hair, so looking my like a wild witch off the moors LOL, with my cat for company. I also have weird dreams, just my imagination running wild starved from human contact I suspect.
Hi Steve, very nice video for one who grew up in a town on Lake Michigan. Dad and I used to drive down to the beach and watch the storms. Very relaxing for me to watch your video. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Jim
Love Lake Michigan, but I've only ever seen it calm - I need to do some CZcams searches for stormy weather there :)
Could watch such videos for hours Steve
Music was fitting too, Mmmm Impressed
Thanks again
Thanks Gary, I was a wee bit gutted when the phone finally died!
@@steve-marsh My kind of Stuff fella.
Tim who has Walk with me Channel asked if any of his followers if they could do a 30 second clip walk from where they are in the world, we were down again today at Troon with Kylo so done a wee recording, well I went right over the 30 secs by mistake, if and when he puts it together ''and if you don't mind'' ? I'll drop you the YT link
The vid footage and music combine so well together, they make the mood experience.
Absolutely. That could have gone on for a bit longer. Like, two hours? ^^)
Cheers guys!
ace .. cheers Steve.
Cheers Paul!
Such peaceful music - yet the water is so wild!! Great video and well done for braving it out in the cold for this one :D
Thanks very much! In a way I was quite happy when the battery ran out and I could get back in the van :)
I think i have lockdown sensitivity or something but that made me a tad maudlin and I was close to a tear in the eye watching the waves leaping over the harbour wall. It may be because it's 6.15am on Friday morning and I haven't had a coffee yet. It could be because I haven't been anywhere at all in the last year. I don't know. I need to go away and give my head a shake.
Beautiful video Steve. Thanks and hope your dad's ok.
Haha cheers :) Yeah, my dad's doing good thanks, just getting a bit bored I think which is understandable and aren't we all! Hope you have since had a nap, I can't remember 6.15am!
Such dramatic footage,and great choice of music.
Powerful waves! Love the music.
Cheers Linda!
Great footage. Enchanting music.
Very good. Dramatic images of the sea. And good music too.
Cheers Mark!
Another great video Steve.....the majesty of the sea & wind....wonderful choice of music for this....really enjoyed it.....I know I've said it before, but SO reminds me of NL for sure!! Cheers!
Haha I can quite believe it Bob! Cheers :)
Footage got quite arty with the mist on the lens and the overhead lighting. 🎥 well matched with the music too😃👍
Cheers Billy! I'm usually awful at choosing music, so appreciated!
Great little clip Steve, I personally felt nothing wrong with the footage!
Great music track, what awesome power the sea has!!
Cheers Darren! I think I was just worried because it was phone footage, but was still nice to capture :)
Very nice! Looks like a cool old house up on the hill...
Cheers! Oh I'd love to live up there!
Super stuff - and great music - perfectly matched. Thanks again.
Thanks Julian!
I see there was a sign saying speed limit of 3 knots, evidently the wind cannot read. Thanks again Steve for a great and atmospheric video.
Haha great point! It was blowing a hoolie as you can see from my steady filming :)
"O hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea."
Lovely storm, good video
Enjoyed that :) - Well done !
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Great music with the footage.
Thanks Janet!
Listening to the sounds of the sea would be so much better.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing
Cheers Nick!
Fabulous video again Steve. Well done 👍
Cheers Mike, if only I'd had a proper camera with me!
Ahoy Matey! Thanks for sharing! Team Stormtroopers, aye! .) Capt.
Love it :D
A Vlogger without a Camera is like me without Wine...... It should never happen!!!!!!! But a very well put together video.... The calm during the storm.... :-)))
Haha nice :D Thanks so much!
@@steve-marsh Your Welcome :-))
😮😮😮
Quite a show for sure.
This could be a commercial for the iPhone camera. 👍👍
Aww cheers! :) (not for their battery life though!)
I remember seeing much the same thing at the breakwater in Aberdeen harbour years ago.
Wet and windswept. You, Steve, grew up in Stonehaven? I my self have a connection with Stonehaven - my great grandfather on my grandmother’s side was struck and killed by a train on the rail line a mile or so south of Stonehaven. He may have been guarding the rail line for the passage of a train that bore the Tzar of Russia. This happened in the 1890’s. Hearing the story as a child, it got moved to the Firth of Forth rail bridge. You still refer to the area as the Kingdom of Fife. My second cousin who lived in Arbroath did too.
Oh so long ago but still tragic to hear John! Yes, I went to high school at Mackie Academy and lived in Stonehaven for 6 years. Been away for about 30 years now but still feel a strong connection with the town and this would be the place I’d most like to move back to sometime in the future :)
@@steve-marsh Thanks for your reply. I may have seen all your videos. I have been following Susan Calman as well. Why do you still refer to the Kingdom of Fife? My grandparents are long gone so I can’t ask them. Oddly my grandfather was born in Blairgowery, my grandmother in Laurencekirk - They met in Portland Oregon. Small world!
What a change from the drive through Edinburgh on a perfect winter day! Does Stonehaven support North Sea oil drilling operations? Some of that strange-looking equipment doesn't quite look nautical. Very dramatic footage, and the music was a fine choice for these moody scenes. Thanks!
Cheers Susan, yeah think it's a training facility for the rigs.
Its just the same in the summer Steve
How can a storm be so relaxing 🙂
Cheers Douglas! I'm sure there have been stormier days, I was just glad to see this one though :)
Don't know why you would apologise for the footage, I think it is very good.
Thanks so much Dave!
Magical to be able to watch that without full oilskins 😉
hehe I was struggling to stay upright as you can see from my filming :)
Used to be a good chipper near the harbour.
Not been there for years, think the last time was before they blocked off the right turn on the dual carriageway to Spurryhillock. What could possibly go wrong turning right over a road with a 70 mph speed limit especially with farm traffic....
Didn't know you were a Stoney lad, used to travel up there on the way to Banchory.
Would you believe we just had a chippie from there half an hour ago!n
@@steve-marsh I would, it was the best chipper in the area.
There is normally a food van at the end of the pier there selling seafood - not that day!?
Yeah, on this day the seafood was coming straight over the harbour wall!
@@steve-marsh 😅
Wild! I can almost feel the salt air hitting me smack in the face! Are those red things submersibles?
Cheers! I think it's a training facility for oil rigs - those ones shoot down a slide from quite a height and will go under the water then shoot back up like a cork!
Shame you never had your DSLR, freeing the water as it came over, would have been a great capture
So true! Even a bit more battery in my iPhone would have helped, and maybe a tripod as I was struggling to stay on my feet!
👍💜👍💜
Why are those boats suspended on the pier?.
Hi Joseph, it's a training and test facility for the offshore industry
That’s great , thanks for the information
