Landscape Pictures
Taken on our journey to the Dorset Coast earlier this year… Beach huts are a common sight on many British beaches. Apparently Victorian in origin, they were apparently a means for royalty to preserve their modesty while they change at the beach on holiday. They certainly present a colourful sight on beaches, although these particular ones were rather dull and gloomy during our visit because of the strong winds and wet weather occurring then.
Durdle Door on the Dorset Coast was a place that I wanted to photograph before I left the UK for home. I wasn’t too hopeful about the weather then as strong winds, rain and floods along the south coast of the UK made travel tricky. Thankfully, the weather cleared up when we finally arrived at Durdle Door. Dad has a similar version of this shot with a different colour balance due to our different cameras and processing.
This picture was taken near the Valley of Rocks on the north Devon coast. The title in Chinese means literally “Thinking of eating trodden grass” which is a play on the Chinese idiom “好马不吃回头草”. The idiom literally means “A good horse does not look back to eat grass” which can be translated to mean that a smart person does not dwell on past actions.
