August has been a hot and lazy month. Too hot to get out hiking and landscape photography. Towards the end of August it did cool down with autumn coming. So broke the spell and rose early for a sunrise shoot at Stone Hill Ashdown Forest on the High Weald in East Sussex.

Eastbourne to Beachy Head

Another wash out autumn weekend on the south coast of England.  Rather than a gloomy day over the High Weald decided to visit the town of Eastbourne and walk from there to Beachy Head on the South Downs.
