Dancing Ledge is a natural shelf of flat rock jutting out into the sea, which once made it a prime site for the quarrying of Purbeck stone – as well as an easy target for smugglers coming from the sea. Now, the sea ledge and its surrounding area is a beauty spot popular with walkers, climbers and wildlife enthusiasts. The waves crash onto the cliffs and then collide with the next wave coming in making amazing patterns

With Storm Amy battering the northern part of the UK I thought I would go down to the coast to see some decent waves crashing into the cliffs at high tide. There is one place that I know of and that is #Dancingledge in the #Purbecks. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #Photography #Waves #Seascape

So many artifacts on this hillside in the Purbecks - I'm supposing they are of human origin.
What were their origins?

1/2 A group of 5 Wheatears were sitting on the fence posts near St Albans Head, making brief sorties into the field edge to catch insects.
They may already have crossed the Channel by now, enroute to sub-Saharan Africa.

Superb walk with my boy yesterday #Ringstead #Purbecks

An experiment in slow-ish TV (can you call a 12 minute video slow). No voiceover or music, mainly birdsong as I walk to the Wild Garlic Woods #wildgarlic #ramsons #purbecks youtu.be/tepdOn3PPVY?...

The perfect end to a walk. Having hot chocolate overlooking South Beach and Old Harry Rocks in Studland, Dorset. #studland #studlandbeach #studlandbay #purbecks #dorsetcoast #landscape #photography #landscapephotography #beachlovers #rocksandminerals #cliffs #geology #seaside #oceanphotography

Gorgeous sunset over the Purbecks looking westward from 2021

Something to cheer us all up. Spring is definitely here and those long warm evenings are coming. One of my favourite views over Dorset looking west towards Portland and Houns tout #photography #summersunset #purbecks

The famous Durdle door in the Purbecks just after sunrise

Durdle door - Sunrise from January 2018 from the cliffs of the #purbecks. Cloudy sunrise but sometimes luck comes and you get that snippet of light. #durdledoor #dorset #seascape #sunrise #photography

Long exposure of an amazing sunrise over Mupe bay in the Purbecks, Dorset, UK

Took this #scape on December 26th 2018. It is vivid in my memory banks as was the colour of the sky. #EastCoastKin #seascape #mupebay #purbecks #longexposure

A pollard Ash in a quiet spot near the coast on the Purbecks.
This tree looks like it's seen any number of south-westerlies, shepherds and springs in it's time by the wall...
The stories it might tell - the night of the great shipwreck, Thomas Hardy passing by...
