Light the Beacon!

To commemorate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012 over 4,200 beacons were lit around the UK and across the Commonwealth. This is one of those Jubilee Beacons near, Abbotsbury, Dorset which overlooks Chesil Beach.

 

Based on the forecast I'd woken at 4am and drove for about 1.75hrs in the hope of a bit of blue hour colour. Alas there was a large bank of cloud on the horizon as I got to the beacon which showed no sign of wanting to shift anytime soon!

 

I did wonder though if it might clear the top of the cloud bank before Golden hour ended. It did and this is the result (Couldn't resist the sun star😀).
