Stunning Sunrise over Durdle Door, Dorset
7.10am on a gorgeous morning at Durdle Door mid-September this year and having parked up by the roadside and walked the twenty-five minute walk down to this iconic viewpoint, I set up and waited for the magic to happen.
I see so many iconic scenes on social media that I have yet to visit that when I eventually do get the opportunity to stand there with the camera on a morning like I experienced here, I am reminded that I have the best job in the world. On this particular morning, I was alone for a few minutes until a couple of other photographers joined me to shoot Bat's Head behind me.
For those of you who have yet to visit Durdle Door, the sound of the water as it washes over the pebbles sounds so strange. There's a natural pebble shelf that has been formed over the years and the water rushes up to the top of it before rushing back down leaving the pebbles to clatter against each other.

Anyway, I hope you all like it.
