Blow Dry

Blow Dry
Dungeness, where this shot was taken, is a strangely beautiful place and a great photo location. I visit whenever I am down that way.

My last visit was just before Christmas on a beautiful but bitingly cold morning with wind howling across the shingle making it feel even colder. We were forced to adjourn to a pub to get out of the wind and have a hot drink. As we came out into the cold I heard the snap and crackle of washing blowing on a line. At the back of the pub I found this scene - a line of washing blown almost horizontal by the gale, distant bungalows and a strange little sculpture. A scene so typical of this place.

I do like this. It's a place I'd like to visit but I don't know if I'll ever make it that far south again.

Well seen and rendered and I agree with Larry...the washing looks like a witch riding on a strange bird.

It's interesting how much this reminds me of the Dungeness area of the Olympic Peninsula. Great shot, Dave, and congratulations on Explore.

Very well spotted and nicely composed Dave, Is that the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch railway track in the shot?.

Yes. This is the loop at the end of the line near Dungeness Station. Trains only run at weekends in winter though in summer they run every 45 minutes or so.
