Hengistbury head....
With the hours of daylight dwindling rapidly each day, and the sun lower in the
sky, the light just gets better all the time. The image was made an
hour after sunrise today, looking toward the headland of Hengistbury head.
The site is internationally known for its Iron Age settlement and double-dyke
defense system. Originally some distance inland, it became surrounded by
water when the sea broke through the chalk ridge between the
Needles on the Isle of Wight and Old Harry rocks on the Isle of Purbeck some
10,000 years ago (just before lunch).
