The bay ripples and heaves with the push and pull of strong winds. The once bright blue-green water has become dark and tainted through the overcast light of the late afternoon. Across the bay lies the faint blue shadows of Sorrento, the sun creeps through onto the edges of the clouds above it. To my right lies an open sky, split by thin white clouds. An indication of the far more pleasant weather from the weekend now past. To my left the sky is dark and heavy with the signposts of an oncoming storm. The wind batters the coast as the shoreline begins to rise.
