If you peer through the mist you can see the remains of one of Henry Vlll's castles (Sandsfoot).
Three posts mid-distance used to hold a notice warning people of torpedo testing.
And the reeds in the foreground edge what used to be a railway line between Weymouth and Portland.

Hills in the distance are part of the South Dorset Ridgeway

Hello Willie. Thank you for leaving the link to the video. Of all places in the world there can be no-where more beautiful, interesting, dramatic and romantic than Portland.
Lovely scene.
