Jurassic Colour
Dorset’s Jurassic Coast is something of a time warp; here you can travel through history and time.
In this landscape rocks and fossils detail each element of the Earth’s past; with the cliffs and shoreline providing a living texture through the layers of sedimentary rock exposing 185 million years of history.
The Jurassic Coast is one of the most photographed locations in Dorset and I am very fortunate to live within easy reach of this World Heritage Site. The skies, the light and the elements combine to make this a fascinating location for both artists and photographers.
In particular I find the rocks around Kimmeridge Bay provide shapes, colours and textures as a result of years of sea activity and erosion. In late afternoon light their colours and textures are enhanced by a low sun which provides a pallet of colour.
Worbarrow Bay near the deserted village of Tyneham in the Isle of Purbeck also has some colourful rocks and textures exposed through recent cliff falls and land slips.
