A Boat on the Beach, Weymouth, Dorset, c.1905-10 - Cumming RP Postcard
Had a nice couple of days down in #Weymouth, despite the rain. Lots to see in this picturesque seaside town. The Nothe Fort was the highlight of the trip. A Napoleon III-era Palmerston fortress, it saw action in WWII as an anti-aircraft battery, and again during the Cold War as a nuclear bunker.
Had some lovely meals out too. Can highly recommend The George Inn on the harbourside, Oliveto’s overlooking the beach, and Pascal's Brasserie on Hope Square.
End of season #BankHolidayWeekend fireworks at #Weymouth beach went well. Nice warm evening and a big crowd as usual. We were at the quiet end of the beach…

For #MeerMittwoch and during the COVID lockdown period we still managed to take a break under restrictions, spending a few days along the coast in #Weymouth where long walks with sea air was the order of business. This was when many cruise ships were anchored off shore as well. There are two in view here - both Marella ships - but Cunard and P&O also had vessels visible from the beach.

The Fore River Bridge, a vertical lift bridge, in the raised position, photographed from Buck Hill.
I have been up on Buck Hill a lot during the past two years, and yet yesterday was the first time that I have seen the Fore River Bridge in the raised position. I am sure those stuck in traffic did not enjoy this, but for me it was a rare treat.
The trail up was frozen over hard, very uneven terrain from the previous footsteps through the snow. It wasn't too cold, but wind gusts of 40mph and very turbulent air made for poor photography conditions. After photographing a couple of targets, I decided to pack things up. I brought along my camcorder to get some shots for a short film I am working on. That's when I noticed the bridge. I quickly ran back to get all the gear, setup as quick as I could, without extending the tripod, and got down on my knees in the ice and snow and managed to capture some images. Shortly after I started shooting, the bridge began to be lowered, so I just made it! The air turbulence is quite noticeable, but at least I got the shot!
