Bill of Portland: people and obelisk in near silhouette
The sunny scene here belies the strong northerly winds that made it feel much colder than might be presumed - after a mild start to the autumn, today's temperature failed to reach double figures, probably for the first time since the spring.
The lady with the camera had had her companions take her picture with the lighthouse in the background, but now she takes a photo of them with the lighthouse still behind her.
The prominent backdrop is the daymark which was built in 1844; it warns of a low shelf of rock extending significantly from the headland.
