A 2013 weekend break in #Dorset and a visit to #Lulworth during that for #MeerMittwoch this week. Out of view just to the left is the famous Durdle Door, recently seen in the second season of The Sandman standing in for ancient Greece.

It's a cold, overcast day, and we're standing on a cliff edge overlooking a sheer drop to a small, sandy beach below. The sea is churned white with foam as the water rushes in and out up the shallow, dark sand. We're looking along the cliff line towards the horizon with much of our view on the right comprising the smoothly jagged peaks and troughs of the clifftop shoreline and its chalk sides. There are a handful of small patches of dark bushes growing on the rise of one part of land and some that might have caught hold in cracks in the white face of the cliffs nearest us but the only other vegetation is pale, short grass on the upper surfaces, dull with the conditions and the chilled, damp, early-feeling part of the year. On the middle of the three rises of cliff edges we can see - the tallest of the three - there are people at the very top walking, appearing as little more than dots at this distance. It feels cold, windy, and if it's not raining then spray from the sea below feels like it's still making its way up here to chill us down further.

Lulworth Cove, on the Jurassic Coast of Dorset.

The googly eyes staring back at you are actually thrombolites, the petrified remains of algae the grew around the bases of swamp trees 145 million years ago, in the Lulworth Cove Fossil Forest #GooglyEyes #LulworthCove #JurassicCoast #Dorset #MeerMittwoch

Three bands of colour: a top band of blue sea, a bottom band of rather brownish grass and in the middle a band of grey jagged rock with unusual round formations that look like googly eyes (there's also a shadow in the grass that you could interpret as a mouth). Hard to tell from the photo, but the camera is pointing down a steep slope and the rock band is a ledge.

Not sure if it was a late breakfast or an early lunch but it was very tasty! Great view too 😃
