Beautiful Dorset

By on October 23, 2012 in Countryside, Dorset, sailing

“Summer goes so quickly was it something that you said….. in the windmills of your mind”……

These is hardly representative of the summer of 2012 but to prove it was not all bad here are a few shots of the Dorset Coast from the sea. This was within a few miles East of the Olympic sailing area, a beautiful place and still largely unspoilt for a moment or two.


Just out to sea, from here to the Needles off the Isle of Wight, there are plans to build huge wind turbines on a massive scale. This World Heritage site will soon be home to our attempts at curbing global warming. From the Artistic standpoint, I do not find them aesthetically interesting in groups! More detail at http://www.navitusbaywindpark.co.uk/project.aspxwhere I got this map and more can be found at the Crown Estates Website.

    Thanks for the trip on your boat. The pictures remind me of Impressionist paintings. You seem to be happiest with a salty breeze on your face.

    Hi Robert! I bet you’re not too happy about the wind-turbine project. Getting used to them on the hills all over Spain took a long time. But we’ve had windmills before and they do evoke something of the poetry of architecture.
