There were some strange clouds this morning at Durdle Door. I was supposed to go to Ladram Bay, but having woken up way too late to make the drive in time, I settled once more on Durdle Door. When I arrived, the sky was bland and a little insipid, but by the time the sun was ready to make an appearance, some of the most contrasty and detailed clouds I have ever seen arrived. It was almost nuclear, such was the way the clouds erupted from the sea. The spiralled and soared way into the sky, spray-painted with streaks of orange. I did some wide angled landscapes and a couple of panoramas, wanting to make the most of this unusual cloud formation at this strange place. I was alone, except for another photographer who having started on the beach, eventually joined me on the cliff face. I didn't get his name, but he seemed like a nice chap. Anyway, he stars in one of the images.
