Beach replenishment...
Pipes that will carry sand onto the beach at Bournemouth, Dorset were
delivered before sunrise today. The sand, part of the beach replenishment
program, will be dredged up from east of the Isle of Wight at a licensed
location, and then pumped ashore. This process, weather permitting, will
begin on Wednesday 13th December, and should be completed by the end
of January 2007.

Standing by the river...
Today, I took delivery of a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 lens. It's an optic that
I've had my eye on for some time, mainly for its ability to deliver very
shallow depth-of-field. It arrived at 7:20 am, and forty minutes later
I was prowling the banks of the river Stour, Dorset, looking for suitable
subjects to point my lens at.
The image is of Teasels, photographed just downstream from Throop weir.
