CLIFFS

Bare cliffs after landslide on west side of west bay, Dorset.


These are the tops of cliffs on the west side of West Bay in Dorset. On the east side of the harbour, the cliffs are dramatically rippled and gold. Here they are stark and stripped and bare and grey and layered by millennia, Walk only a few steps further and the path is blocked because of landslides.

This is not always how people think of Dorset!

CLIFFS AT WEST BAY IN LATE AFTERNOON LIGHT

Golden light on gold cliffs at West Bay, Dorset.

Although it may be hard to believe, these colours are accurate. The sea is sea coloured. The pier is concrete-when-in-shade coloured. The sky is evening sky coloured. And the cliffs are the colour golden cliffs go when the sun catches them before it sets. (Dorset is rather a good place to live!)

Yesterday's post on my other blog - Loose and Leafy - was about Golden Light in Oxford. You might like that too!

FAMILIAR AND EXTRAORDINARY FOR EVER . . . or maybe not for ever . . . ?
