The first here is of cloud over a Dorset landmark, Golden Cap (highest point on the south coast of England). The light is of course all that is golden in this shot, the yellow sandstone all in shadow.

These next two are taken a bit further along the Dorset coast, on Chesil Beach - an 18-mile barrier beach, with ten miles of freshwater lagoon (The Fleet) behind it

Thanks for sharing your work, folks!  Took me a minute to find your happy face, Rich, but I did.  :)

I like the photographs far more than I liked the book.

Which book?

BTW, how bad is the book? (Trying to gauge how much your preference for my photos is a more or less good thing)

On Chesil Beach, by Ian McEwan: http://www.amazon.co.uk/On-Chesil-Beach-ebook/dp/B00354YA4U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375900833&sr=8-1&keywords=chesil+beach.

It's ghastly. Reasonably well written, as you'd expect, but both the characters are irritating ciphers.

My preference for your photos is wholly complimentary.

There's a book club where I used to work, which I still attend. My role from the outset, nearly a decade ago now, seems to have been the curmudgeon who dislikes whatever anyone else has chosen. I'm not sure how the role was assigned, but I'm a little worried at how easily I've come to fit into it.

Just wait until you're older!

It only gets better, in the sense of more marked. And becomes the 'expected of you', which is a bit of a trap.

Did I mention you might actually have superior taste?

Thanks, Rob. As old age creeps up on me, I'll cling to that thought.

This, Eric, is self-evident to all of us SCs; like fine wines, we get better and better until the moment when we really, really should be sold off for charity. I'd like to sell everything off as a great gift to charity: my own.

Imagine having everything one has gathered through life converted back into real money again. Wow, the new choices one would have available!
