Sunset over West Bay
As the sun was setting this evening over West Dorset, the clouds began to break up and the sun started to shine through. It looked promising, so I headed over to West Bay to try and catch a panorama of West Bay with the sun setting behind the cliffs of Golden Cap and Thorncombe Beacon.
As I got there and climbed up the very steep East Cliff ... made worse by carrying all my equipment up with me ... the clouds to the West started to disappear. After a few shots I decided to head back down to the harbour, as the clouds over to the East were still there and beginning to light up with the last glows of the setting sun.
By the time I had got over to the harbour and setup, the light was starting to go, and just had time to catch one decent shot, with the dusky pinks and blues reflected across the still waters of the harbour.
