Little Piece of Portland

Here are a few shots from Portland taken during a weekend away at the end of January.  Better weather then than we're having now!!

New Moon

I was driving through a village called Nunton the other evening and noticed a full moon rising over some trees.

I happened to have the camera with me so thought I'd pull over to get some shots. When I first stopped, there was some clouds partially covering the moon which would have made a really good photo (like something from a horror film) but by the time I got the camera and tripod out of the boot it had passed :(

Still managed to get this one though...

Autumn Colours

I have always liked Autumn in the UK with all the variety of colours with leaves on the ground and dramatic skies and sunsets. It almost makes the bleak winter that's approaching a little more bearable.

After a very poor summer weather wise here it's good that we are now getting a bit of sporadic sunshine before the cold sets in.
