I recently spent a couple of days down in the Dorset coast.  As always a trip over the border of Somerset feels like a true adventure.  I lived in Dorset for several years, and still have a day job on the Dorset-Somerset border.  So I have friends there that I like to visit.

West Bay sits on the south coast next to its bigger neighbouring town of Bridport.  I did not have much time for photography, but jumped at the chance of capturing the sunset.  I was so lucky to have great winter weather.

Jupiter and Uranus stood out in the sky.  What I did not know at the time was that much of the UK was witnessing the extremely rare and amazing sight of the northern lights.

Pink evening clouds over the small harbour.  Not the northern lights but the next best thing.

And finally…

The next morning, the rowing team take to the sea.
