Photographer's Note
Hello Everyone,
I continue with photographs from the county of Dorset.
This photograph shows Lulworth Cove, a beauty spot in the county. It is a very natural harbour, seen in my workshop, from above, you will be able to appreciate that more clearly.
But, you will notice that most people on the beach appear to be looking downwards, not out to sea. enjoying the vista.
... Lulworth Cove is similar to much of the coast in Dorset, it is popular for fossil hunting, which is what these people are doing.
The area around Lulworth Cove contains a fossil forest, and 71 different rock strata have been identified, each with its own species of ammonite.
It is part of the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the English Channel coast of southern England. It stretches from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset, a distance of about 96 miles (154 km), and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in mid-December 2001
Thank you for sharing my photograph, Bev :-)

Hi Bev
Lots happening in this photo. The view is good but I think the people take centre stage.
A really interesting area.

Hi Bev,
You have captured well the action of the persons. The point of view is showing the details of Lulworth Cove. The light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Bev,
There is a lot to watch and enjoy in this photo. Steep hillsides, lots of small boats, people wearing pink, red, blue, green. The beach as such doesn't appeal much to me. It's not a place where I would like to spend a sunny day. But the photo is bright and good. The WS is also very nice. There is a fine, wide view of the area, and the path and fence create nice depth.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Beverley, both shots give an excellent impression of Lulworth Cove.
A steep walk down from the top of the cliffs.
Either of the shots could have been the main post.
The various poses of the people make the shot more interesting.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hello Beverley,
A great photo of this bay with the curved coastline and steep cliffs creating a very appealing composition. The sunlight was pleasant and clear was well. The fossil-hunters create a lively mood as well.

a nice view of the area and a nice not explaining the action of the people. this made me remember of a moment I was hunting fossils in the highest mountain of my region and in a creek I found fossilized waves of the mud of the shallow sea there as there before atlantic ocean be created.
take care

Hello Beverley,
I like the picture in the WS very much because it gives a very nice view of the beautiful coastline with its height differences.
Of course we also see that in your main photo. Somehow your second photo seems more spectacular to me.
Your main upload shows several people spread over the beach and many boats spread over the bay.
Have you also found fossils?
(I once found some in the desert in Egypt, in an area that was once sea)
Best regards, Paul

Hi Bev,
Bela enseada esta mas a sua nota a torna mais interessante com a possibilidade de descobrir um fóssil. Além de tudo a composição é muito bonita com estas camadas da natureza: praia, mar, montanha e céu azul. Muito bem feita.
TFS and regards

Hi Bev
I like both images. The workshop easily could have been a main post. The 'c' shape of the bay nicely guides the eye around this image. The lady with her hands on hips & surveying the scene provides a focal point. Tfs!

Hi Bev
Fossils? probably in those cliffs behind the beach. A good pair of photos of this pleasant looking bay with great blue water.

Hello Bev, Interesting place. And have you found anything? II had a trilobite in the stone, beautiful, but I have somehow lost it.
Amusing picture.

Hi Bev.
This part of the coast is a beauty, in the photo of the WS we see the almost circular shape of this small bay, where I was surprised to see people looking at the sand, after reading your note it was clear, because I agree with you that a Such a beautiful place, the normal thing would be to look and enjoy the view.
Very good color that increases the attractiveness of the image.
Superb brightness and sharpness management, to enjoy the details.
Well seen and done. I like it.
Have a nice day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi Bev
Not exactly the pretties of beaches around I suppose :)
Interesting to hear about the bounty of fossils around here, now I want to go searching too :) For some reason I can totally see Len using his Metal Detector in places like this.
fun shot, and I really like the WS too for a different viewpoint. cheers

Hi Bev,
indeed I thought they have lost something there :)
Nice cove, pleasant beach scene with colorfully dressed people. There seem to be a lot to do there. I must remember this place for a possible trip, maybe even this year because I won't get vaccinated by summer holidays and many countries seem to introduce the vaccine passes...
Very well done,
M
