Wears Hill, Abbotsbury, Dorset.

A beautiful winters sun rises from Weymouth Bay in the distance and starts to paint the frosty landscape with golden rays of light.

Taken about 30 minutes after sunrise and the harsh winter sun is painting the landscape with golden tones. The mist is still hanging around as still very cold.

Taken about 5 minutes after Sunrise on Wears Hill Abbotsbury, facing towards Bridport with the sun behind me. It was still about -8 and the frost was still on the ground and early morning mists can be seen in the distance.

A lovely start to the day, that soon clouded over and turned wet and nasty.

Another image from Saturday's Sunrise on the Rock

Pulpit Rock was starting to glow with the early morning sun, during golden hour after sunrise.

Peverill Point, Swanage.

A very grey morning with no colour at all, so shot with B&W in mind.  May post images later if I'm happy with anything.

Sunrise on the Rock

Portland Bill this morning was a cloudy start to first light, but produced a quick burst of colour as the sunrise neared it's end, and turned out to be a lovely sunny morning.  I counted 15 motorhomes in the car park, which were filled with scout leaders from north London all having breakfast in the Lobster Pot. They were all hire vans... those city scouts really know how to rough it !!!

Durdle Door Sunrise

Spent the morning at Durdle Door before work today. Dry and sunny but very disappointing sunrise.

Andy Rouse - Africa Live!

Andy Rouse, the best Wildlife Photographer the UK has to offer, in my opinion anyway, and I think one of the best in the world, (definitely the funniest) is off to Africa and will be posting live updates from his 3 week Safari. See 'Africa Live!' on his blog. I'll definitely be following.

Osmington Mills, Sunset.

Sunset today, with Portland and Weymouth in the background.

Durdle Door Sunrise, Dorset.

Durdle Door this time of year is always worth a visit. Windy, but not too cold this morning. Watched a photographer down on the beach mis-judge the waves, that occasionally throw a curved ball at you if you get too close... and he got his feet wet plus tripod.. kept me amused as happens to all of us at some time.

Kimmeridge Bay Sunrise, Dorset - December 2011

Just catching up on some processing from a visit to Kimmeridge before Christmas. 

The sun was very harsh and produced a contrasty scene, but quite like the way the sunlight was bouncing off the wet rocks.

Osmington Mills, Dorset - Sunday Morning Sunrise

Having visited here for the past 2 mornings I knew exactly where and
when the sun was going to appear and wasn't disappointed.
