Had a weekend down Dorset way staying in Weymouth for the weekend before travelling home via Bournemouth. Mainly shots of landscapes / scenery but the odd one you could call a bit weather related.

Not my fault it rained on some of the shots

Great shots of Chesil beach, I love Dorset - along with South Wales it has the best coastline in the country in my opinion. Far better than the North Sea coast dumps.
