"Dusk at Lulworth Cove, Dorset, England"
Lulworth is considered to be one of the most perfectly shaped coves in the World.Its shaped like a Scallop shell. Clays and sands formed the front of the cove which eroded over time allowing the sea to carve out its wonderful shape. The area along the shoreline is formed from Portland Stone, from which cement is made. lots of historic buildings world wide were built from the stone, and it is extremely tough stopping further erosion inward though the cove is widening and the cliffs on the west side are in a dangerous condition. The waves enter the cove radiating out in a circular direction as can be seen in the photo and its this that creates the perfectly symmetrical shape.
It is part of the Jurassic coast and is a World heritage site visited by over a half a million people each year.
I loved the place as it was a real working harbour with proper fishing boats and fishermen mending their nets and getting their boats ready for the morning. The little town is totally unspoiled and I found it charming!
Most photos of Lulworth show the complete shell shape of the cove but they have all been taken from the air as its impossible to view it in its entirety, any other way.
I suppose this photo is a bit more unusual as its not the normal touristy snap which Im not a fan of. I did have to post process it quite a bit as the light was almost gone.Its the best I could do and Ill just leave it as it is.
Its a great place to visit so do go there! Ill certainly be back next year and you could meet me.
I hope you may like my effort and I welcome your input etc.
Hope your week ahead is as special as you are to Flickr.
Thank you,
Pat.
