Dancing Ledge, Dorset

Dancing Ledge is a stone quarry located near Langton Matravers on the South West Coast Path in Dorset.

 

Purbeck stone was quarried here and transported by boats to various places around the country for building.

 

In the early 20th century a swimming pool was blasted in to the ledge for use by local prep schools. The rising tide fills the pool with water.

 

This shot was taken shortly after sunset, a 150 second exposure taking full advantage of the colourful clouds moving across the scene to create quite a dramatic effect.

 

I hope you like it.
