An unusually warm and hazy day for the time of year, so a scramble along by Dungy Head in Dorset brought us to one of our favourite spots. The dark foreground cliff surrounds Man-O'-War Bay and hides the tourist honeypot of Durdle Door. Beyond is Bat's Head. If you are energetic and able, the coastal path here is truly a wonderful walk. Of course the view is much wider and somewhat over-photographed so I've tried to cut to the chase and give a feel of the drama this coastline offers. Successful, or not? Your thoughts would be appreciated. For scale, if you zoom-in there are some figures by the short railing atop the foreground cliff, in from the right edge.

That was quick Bmac - I was just adding an edit to offer some scale assistance when I noticed you have already posted. Yes, I get that feeling, and got it at the time of taking this - but only after zooming-in to this degree. It is a dramatic bit of coast. Many thanks for your comment.

The limited color palette and hazy light make this all about strong forms and sharp angles. I love it!

Thanks tradio, think I missed your post earlier. People don’t seem to leave much in the way of critique in this section - any thoughts on why like it? No problem if you don’t want to say.
