Durdle Door

Having successfully delivered a bicycle to Southampton, but wishing to avoid the traffic jams around the Berkshire County Show, I decided to take a very roundabout but scenic route home. I cut through the New Forest, and found myself on the Jurassic Coast. I had Monty with me, so there was a good excuse to go for a walk on the shingle beach by Durdle Door - which for the uninitiated, is this spectacular sea arch. Being a Saturday there were still a few folk about even though it was starting to get on in the evening - but a long exposure does make a few disappear.... Much to my annoyance I did have to wait for a rather over-amorous couple to shift out of the way. Fortunately for me, and perhaps less fortunately for these two would-be exhibitionist Porn-stars, the sea temperature was a bit on the chilly side so they gave up fairly quickly. I really am turning into a grumpy old man.....
