Snowy hills, Trains & Piers

I rose early to get the sunrise across the snow-covered hills and valleys of Dorset, only to find a thick bank of cloud across the eastern sky, giving some very grey light indeed across the landscape.

I decided to stay local and went off to my favourite hill to try and capture the scene, and with wind whistling in my ears (I forgot my hat) and a few inches of snow covering the tops of my boots, I headed off to Quarry Hill.

Being cold and a bit dissapointed, I headed off towards Lyme, to view Golden Cap from Morecombelake, where there is a new farm shoip open, which opens early serving hot coffee and bacon rolls. Just what was needed. From behind the shop, you get a wonderful view across the valley towards the hills and coast.





I decided I would use the rest of the day as a recky to various locations, for future use and after a quick trip to Wimborne, I went down to Corfe and Swanage to try out a couple of shots, which can both be improved upon given different weather conditions.
