Swanage Sunset
** Hi I hope everyone is well . I spent the past week on the Dorset Coast based in Swanage in a most comfortable rented house . Swanage is a fairly unpretentious seaside town but it is a good base to explore Dorset .The headline news is that that it was warm and sunny for the full ten days the umbrella was never unfurled and the jumper stayed in the case.
It was our first full weeks holiday in England since 1979 and also our first visit to Dorset. . Given all that is going on right now it was great just to get away from the usual routines for a spell . We both felt much better for it we did a lot of walking but also managed to dine in some excellent restaurants . The highlight was certainly seeing some of the Jurassic coast and the spectacular cliffs that form part of it .
While Dorset and indeed much of England is very beautiful and full of superb historical sites the main problem for me is that there are always too many people and too many cars particularly in Southern England. Visitors from North America must get a shock when they visit given the scale and vastness of the landscapes in their countries . I suppose that is why we tend to go to the coast in winter when it is quieter. I will be very glad when we can visit France again were there always feels like there is more space and driving in France apart from Paris is so easy compared to the UK .
The shot was taken looking across Swanage Bay towards the town the wooden structure in the middle of the shot is the rather attractive Victorian pier .
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.
