The Lookout, near Belle Tout

Teasel near the Belle Tout tumult. The mild autumn weather with low cloud obscuring the higher hills to the east.


Possibly lichen growing on the chalk heath

Sovereign Harbour

 

The winds from Storm Bert were still wild at dusk. Too strong to get to the sea.

The End of Autumn


 Arctic air giving the sunrise rare clarity and a heavy frost. The end of autumn.

Jevington Plantation

 The mild, dry Autumn continues, and the leaves in the wood lie thickly on the ground. The Hazel and Elm are yet to colour, while the Walnut are briefly distinctive, with smaller specimens revealing themselves in dark brown and yellow.

Blue sky moving south, brings cooler weather.
