Who said you could park there?

Strong winds pushed this Duth cargo ship onto the beach of Sables d'Olonne on the French Atlantic coast. What a sight to see when you go down to the shore for your morning constitutional.

"
The Dutch-registered cargo ship Artemis was blown onto a beach at the Atlantic coastal resort of Les Sables d'Olonne and an attempt would be made to refloat it later on Monday, [French maritime authorities] said, adding there was no danger to the environment."

Across, on the other side of Le Manche [English Channel], things were also tough. Witness
the waves that winds of over 130 kilometers an hour produced, pounding the UK shoreline.
