Clive the flying ostrich: Amateur Polymath | Chief Heretic. Started conversation Mar 16, 2013
Originally taken back in September 2012 of my trip to the south coast, but only processed this weekend, the events surrounding this photograph were as follows:
Day #2 of my holiday I spent around Portland. The day had been beset by heavy cloud, dark skies and strong wind. As I drove back to Weymouth cursing the gods of weather, I noticed the clouds were all headed out to sea. Taking a chance, I detoured to Chesil Beach. hoping I might at last glimpse the sun.
Alas, I was disappointed more grey skies.
As I looped round the one way system to head back to the hotel - the skies literally parted - and this amazing sunset erupted into full bloom. I never seen the sky so golden. If you'd dropped it, it would have fallen to the ground and gone "clink!" I could scarcely believe my luck! I parked, (probably illegally) grabbed my gear, ran up the pebble mound of Chesil beach. Set up my tripod - and this was the result. Enjoy!
P.S The storm to my left, was heading in-land and I got thoroughly wet about 5 minutes after this shot was taken. But it was worth it. ^^

It was evening by the time I was there though (almost dusk, obviously..) , so there was no-one else about...
I think I saw someone walking their dog off in the distance.

I did say it would take me a while to get to these. However when I said that I didn't envision it would be six-months later!
