Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch on the 'Jurassic Coast' near Lulworth in Dorset. Hard layers of Portland limestone have been folded on this part of the coast so that they appear almost vertical and these form the seaward edge of the small promontory seen here, that includes Durdle Door.
The impressive natural arch of Durdle Door formed due to the effect of the erosive power of the sea on the vertical layers of different types of rock. At some point in the past the sea would have begun to breach the hard Portland limestone and form a string of caves along the coast. The much softer rocks behind would have quickly been eroded away creating caves and natural arches. Eventually the arches collapsed leaving stacks, which would in turn be broken and washed away by the power of the waves.
Durdle Door is part of only a small strip of hard Portland limestone that is left here. The remnants of old arches can still be seen in the form of 'stumps' of limestone only just visible in the waves. One day that is all that will remain of Durdle Door.

I haven't taken any new photos this weekend which is rather unusual but Saturday was busy and today I'm struggling with a migraine. Apart from that the weather wasn't really great all weekend, it was rather grey and depressing. This is why I post an older photo, one of the captures I took at Hohenzollern castle in October. At the time there were still some Thanksgiving decorations in the courtyard as Thanksgiving here was celebrated in early October.
An painted door with no handle and an inscrutable message found in the beer garden of the Crown & Sceptre pub.

Behind this door was once one of the grandest addresses in London: 1 Kensington Palace Gardens. There is now a coach park.
This looked to be an old restaurant of sorts - found in south west Iowa in one of the small dying communities.
I want the curtains for my house :>)
More from the Garnet Ghost Town in western Montana, a wonderful place to visit, several miles back off highway 200. It's worth the detour.
We went to Arezzo and it was closed....
Arezzo- Birthplace of Petrarch and Giorgio Vasari...Location of the amazing fresco cycle in the Church of s. Francesco, depicting the Story of the True Cross by Piero della Francesca.
Procida riserva sempre sorprese, questa porta me ne procurò una , vi rimando alle prossime puntate.
Waiting next...
We climbed 600 metres on our bikes to reach this village. The wind was blowing so hard, and it added to the old worn feel of this beautiful town.
-Added to theCream of the Crop pool as most interesting.
