Mudeford Beach Huts

These expensive beach huts were mainly vacant in the February sun.

 

Becalmed day on the water.

In a somewhat reflective mood

Beautiful spring morning at Hengistbury Head, Dorset

Bournemouth Air Show 2017 - The amazing Red Arrows

Dorset Country Show - Part 1

From scurry racing to competitions for pigs, sheep and goats - it was all happening at this year's Dorset County Show.

Dorset - On Two Feet

Some challenging walks can be found on the Dorset coast.  Better get started............

Just one more hill to go.....

.........before we get this wonderful view.  Definitely worth the climb.

Letting-off steam

Steam weekend at Swanage Railway brought out the crowds.  

One Weekend (and four seasons) in Dorset

Only in England will you experience such changeable weather over a short space of time.  On the plus side, it makes for some interesting shots of the sky.

Winter sky

Turned to B&W to capture the cold and bleak view across a creek of Poole harbour taken from Arne nature reserve.

I like the broken view as glimpsed through this bird hide.

Water-Lilly Pond

It is nearly impossible to see a lilly pond without thinking of Monet's beautiful paintings.  Although this photo was inspired by Monet …I realise it is easier to take a photo than produce an oil painting.  This pond is one of many at Arne RSPB nature reserve, near Wareham, Dorset.

Corfe Castle and the Swanage Railway

The imposing ruins of Corfe Castle looks down upon the village and railway line.

A Walk in the Arne nature reserve

A weekend walk in the RSPB nature reserve in Arne, near Wareham in Dorset.  Beautiful walking trails take you to the shores of Poole Harbour.

All steamed up

More shots from Swanage railway………….

Full steam ahead

This weekend's steam gala at Swanage, Dorset provided some good photo opportunities.  Great work has been carried out by the volunteers in renovating this line, railway buildings and, of course, the engines and rolling stock.

Great air show starring the Red Arrows…….

Went to see a brilliant and courageous aeronautical display by the fabulous Red Arrows.  I was hoping for blue skies but was nevertheless fairly happy with the results.  This is just a small selection of the many shots I took that day!
