[Leica] IMG: Lulworth Cove, part three

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

Jay,

overall I really like the quality and detailing in your M photos. I may not
always like everything that you post but...

With regard to Lulworth though, I think you have done a very good job of
capturing it and showing what it is like for those who haven't been there.

I have known the area for some twenty years or more so, if I may, let me fill
people in a bit. Lulworth is a small, but iconic, cove on the fossil-rich and
spectacular Jurassic Coast (a UNESCO World Heritage site) in Dorset in 
southern
England.  The Cove is renowned as a safe anchorage for small sailing boats if
the weather gets rough. It used to be a small fishing village. There are a 
few
houses (probably less than 100) mostly scattered away from the cove itself, a
small military base (the site of some of the earliest tank trials, a nearby
castle and a caravan (trailer) park. Like a number of other places in the 
area
it is a throwback to an earlier age. It isn't a proper resort but somewhere 
that
people just come to spend the day. It attracts a wide range of visitors from 
all
classes.

I think your pictures *do* capture the essence of the place and the people 
that
go there. In a lot of ways it stands in complete juxtaposition to Neil's 
"Jermyn
Street"

I am surprised that you haven't posted your images of Swanage, which is 
another
place that in many ways preserves a way of life that is gone from most of
Southern England and one that I have photographed many times,
for example :

and:

I think that you ought to collate your pictures into a short photo-essay on 
the
area. Your overall view of the area would be very interesting.

Happy to chat more about it off-line if you want.
