Scars

They say weather's coming. The weather prophets tell us it's going to be bad. Whether it will or not has to be seen; I feel the weather people don't want to get caught out again, as they have in the past, and tend to overplay rather than under. Anyway, it came to mind whilst walking along the base of the cliffs at Steamer Point, where last years torrential rains had brought about some major slippages. The scars of the slippages are still mostly bare, exposed with little flora yet colonizing them. More storms, with more rains, will ensure these scars stay open, and continue to make it hard for any plants to get a foot hold and stabilize the slide. so more cliff will go.
