The Wind

Sometimes I much prefer the wind in its wild fury and roar, its wave torn temper, the wash of a cooling breeze on a summer's evening and its whispered rustle high in treetops, in all of its moods, to the fog still and thickened quiet of days when the only breath you hear is your own.

Having lived on the California central coast for a decade, I whole heartedly agree! The only thing I don't miss about the beach is the fog :-)

Lived in the hills overlooking Melbourne and had days on end of thick fog..very claustrophobic! Now live near the Bay, very little fog, lots of wind. Poem indicates my preference. Thanks Becky.
