Old Harry

Large version - Comment at flickr.com

Photoblog: 07 Oct 2007

With Bournemouth in the background. Old Harry Rocks at Ballard Down near Swanage, are where the Purbeck Hills meet the English Channel. The Purbeck Hills are part of the Southern English chalk formation, famous for the South Downs, White Cliffs of Dover, and Salisbury Plain. The Purbeck Hills were once continuous with the chalk downs of the Isle of Wight, and Old Harry's stacks are mirrored by The Needles. This is the eastern limit of the 95 mile long "Jurassic Coast" world heritage site.

If anybody finds a 72mm Nikon lens cap up here, it's mine.

Stourhead lake at the height of Autumn, 2006. Stourhead is a National Trust owned country estate in Wiltshire, South West England, with a Georgian Palladian mansion. The gardens are designed by Henry Hoare II and Henry Flitcroft and filled with little neoclassical features, like the bridge and temples. The lake is filled by the nearby spring of the River Stour.
