Woods above Dorsetshire Gap
A long walk was planned for the day. It proved to be plagued by thick fog and fine drizzle, for the entirety of our 12 mile slog. The Wessex Ridgeway passes through these woods, changing direction at the fingerpost.

Melcombe Park Farm
A long walk was planned for the day. It proved to be plagued by thick fog and fine drizzle, for the entirety of our 12 mile slog. The farm is tucked in beside Hill Wood, and passed by the Wessex Ridgeway on its 137 mile journey between Lyme Regis and Marlborough.

'Out of Line’
I'm never quite sure what it is that makes a picture work. I took 6 shots of this avenue of trees in Dorset during a walk around the Dorset Gap in very wet and windy weather. While I know this one works for me I am hard pressed to tell you what is wrong with the others. Perhaps if I could I would be a better landscape photographer! The row of trees lead to Higher Melcombe , Ansty, Dorset. It looks an absolutely magical place that I intend to explore further.
