An evening walk around Rockford Common is accompanied by heavy weather, but clearing skies give a beautiful sunset.

Looking out over Blashford Lakes, I’m not sure whether this is smoke rising up or cloud falling down!

Looking towards north Dorset and the Wiltshire border – very heavy weather.

Walking through the old gravel pit on Rockford Common, the paths are wet from recent rain.

The heavy clouds begin to clear especially for the sunset.

There it is – the beginning of the sunset.

The clearing clouds are wispy against the beautifully coloured sky.

Sunset over Dorset from the tumulus.

Zooming in, the clouds are aflame with colour.

On the drive home, I can’t resist stopping for a view of the sunset over Linbrook Lake, a sunset is never better than when you can see it twice – upside down and right side up 🙂
