I compiled my best landscape photography for each month for 2016 so here is a new compilation for 2017. In 2017 I was out each month with my camera and moved from Worcestershire to Dorset and then to East Sussex. Again, think of it like a calendar.

Swanage Dorset
Not far from my base in Bournemouth Dorset was the seaside town of Swanage. The walk around Swanage would also include some spectacular cliff side scenery and walks over undulating hills. Swanage would be my next walk in Dorset.
