As predicted last week, the UK appears to be experiencing an Indian summer, with sunshine and temperatures of up to 28º C - 15º above normal for the time of year - and expected to last until early October. After a cloudy start to the day the clouds roll away and I ride to Poole harbour to shoot with a fast telephoto.
The idea is to concentrate on detail in the landscape; preferably something out of the ordinary, and it's a weather vane on top of a house in Sandbanks that catches my eye. The figure is of the fictional pirate Captain Pugwash: the main character of a British children's comic strip and TV show originating in the 1950s. He's seen here brandishing a cutlass to lay claim to a treasure chest on a tropical island; his ship Black Pig in the distance. The title of this post is one of his (many) catch phrases.
