The Red Arrows...

Today, at 1200 hrs the RAF team The Red Arrows
gave their annual display between Boscombe and Bournemouth
piers, Dorset. It was a typical demonstration that has given them
a world wide reputation that is second to none. Half of the display
features close formation aerobatic manoeurves, then they break
formation and start showing off.

Harvest...

It's Harvest time here in Dorset, and the farmers are taking
full advantage of daylight to get the job done before the weather
breaks. Shot in late evening, the image shows a Combine Harvester
and Bailer at work on Kimmeridge Farm.

Jurassic coast...

As a prelude to (my) photographic season, I recently wandered
around the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset in the search of suitable
locations for the coming winter. The image here is of
Worbarrow Tout, part of the Jurassic Coast which now has the
status of a World Herritage site.

This view of the coast is only accessable from one route, and requires
a suitably low tide for access. At this time of year the sun still sets
inland, but come November-February it rises and sets at sea, creating
stunning lighting of the cliffs.

Passiflora...

Today I decided to take a different approach to photography,
stuff a macro lens onto the front of my camera, and
hunt down some close-up images. Whilst I am no gardener
(to say the least), much to my surprise I found this specimen
in my garden, a Passionflower.

On the Beach...

Not too much has happened on the photo front of late,
so I decided to get myself out early (5:15am) and
do something about it. The sunrise was fleeting in my
neck of the woods today, so I concentrated on details
found on my local beach. The image is of stacked beach
recliners.
