Sunset from Portesham Hill

As the evening looked like it might present a great sunset tonight, I went off in search of a new viewpoint, up on the hills near the Hardy monument, over looking Abbotsbury and the hills and valleys of the area. The hill behind Portesham provided the spot.
A wild flower meadow provided the foreground interest and although its currently surrounded by wire fences and barbed wire so I couldn't get as close as I would have liked, the foxgloves provide some subtle colour.
The sun is setting between Pilsden Pen and Lewesdon Hill.
