The obelisk


The weather is still unseasonably mild, and pinning my hopes on the forecast being correct (it was), I pack a camera and two lenses and head for the hills on the Isle of Purbeck, Dorset. 

It's a fairly steep climb from Deans Hill bus stop to the obelisk on top of Ballard Down, but that's my starting point for a four mile coastal walk, from thereon downhill all the way to Old Harry Rocks and finally Studland beach.

There is a bit of cloud to give the sky some interest once I'm up there, and I stop to take a number of photographs before it threatens to disappear altogether leaving nothing but blue. The original colour images didn't work as I'd intended, but converting the files to mono made all the difference.
