“Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.” - Don McCullin
THE JURASSIC COAST
The Jurassic Coast is on the southern coast of England. It stretches from Exmouth in East Devon to Studland Bay in Dorset a distance of about 96 miles and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in mid-December 2001.
The site spans 185 million years of geological history, coastal erosion having exposed an almost continuous sequence of rock formation covering the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. At different times, this area has been desert, shallow tropical sea and marsh, and the fossilised remains of the various creatures that lived here have been preserved in the rocks. We spent a week there in September 2018 and to be honest it just wasn't long enough to capture all the spectacular landscape, maybe I'll go back again soon...
