Old Harry

Photoblog: 07 Oct 2007

With Bournemouth in the background. Old Harry Rocks at Ballard Down near Swanage, are where the Purbeck Hills meet the English Channel. The Purbeck Hills are part of the Southern English chalk formation, famous for the South Downs, White Cliffs of Dover, and Salisbury Plain. The Purbeck Hills were once continuous with the chalk downs of the Isle of Wight, and Old Harry's stacks are mirrored by The Needles. This is the eastern limit of the 95 mile long "Jurassic Coast" world heritage site.

If anybody finds a 72mm Nikon lens cap up here, it's mine.
