Last Super Moon 2016
The last Super Moon of 2016 rose at 5:08 pm on 14th December. It rose with beautiful colours similar to a sunset, peaceful and perfectly defined… and after approximately 20 minutes it disappeared behind the clouds just to not to be seen again until the next day….

Few more opportunities the mother nature gave me during the last two months of the year to see through the window of the universe…

Poole Harbour Starry Nights
Poole Harbour Milky Way Dorset
The largest natural harbour in the United Kingdom. It is the estuary of 4 rivers, the largest being the Frome. It has an approximate area of 36km2 (14 sq mi) and it is very shallow (average depth is 48cm) . The area has a long history of human settlement pre-Roman times. The harbour was used by the Romans as an invasion port.
Poole is the main town. It became a wealthy city in the 17th century as it was a trading hub, and by the 18th century it was the main British port trading with North America.
The harbour is an area of international importance for wildlife conservation, and borders three natural reserves.
Poole Harbour has a special charm, and is well known for the most beautiful sunsets in Dorset. This post is about a face little known, Poole Harbour under the starry nights
Durlston Country Park: where inspiration is born
Views of the Milky Way from Durlston Country Park, Dorset, England.
Durlston Country Park is a 1.13 square kilometre (280-acre) country park and nature reserve stretching along the coast of the Isle of Purbeck at Durlston near Swanage in Dorset, England. The Park, which is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, has been owned by Dorset County Council since the early 1970s and is mostly open access.
In 1887 George Burt, local constructor and business man who used to own Durlston estate, built a small ‘castle’ at Durlston Head, on the hill above Durlston Bay and the town of Swanage. The Durlston Castle was never a real castle, but was purpose-built to be used as a restaurant for his estate.
Burt also commissioned a 40-ton limestone Globe, three metres in diameter, engraved with an 1880s world map. The footpaths around the Castle and Globe are lined with cast iron London bollards which were left in Swanage having been used as ballast by the ships transporting stone to London. Other ornaments include plaques carved with quotations from Shakespeare and the Bible, maps showing the English Channel and the United Kingdom, and facts about the natural world.
In the 19th and 20th centuries Purbeck was quarried for its high-quality limestone. There were few open-cast quarries, and none in Durlston, but there are many mine shafts across the landscape, notably Tilly Whim Caves in a dry glacial meltwater valley.
Most of the Park is designated Site of Special Scientific Interest and since 1997, a Special Area of Conservation. The majority is also designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance.
Durlston Country Park is one of the most inspiring places for photography in Dorset.
