I was brought up on the isle of Portland & in the time that passedd, its rugged beauty has also shown its dark side & claimed many a fisherman.
Not too long ago a local fisherman got swept off of a rock to his fate.
This ballad was written & performed by loacl band the Dolmen as a tribute to him , so please give it a listen as you look through this and my other Portland varients ..which are my tribute in part to the lost & the living : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLrBOJrCzA0
On a lighter note...most people go up to Portland Bill and head to the lighthouse. ..however, just half a mile to the left instead of the right (sorry, no good with North, east, south & west), then you will come to an even more interesting seascape!!
Hope you enjoy the series....FROM THE HEART AS ONE MAY SAY !!
Gareth.

Cheers Matt.............. tis a stark yet beautiful place...the beauty lies in its ruggedness.
Thankyou Nonur..very much appreciated.
I have a few more to upload tomorrow...added the other versions just for something to go along with the youtube song that I have provided the link to.
Thankyou Kate.... you will like the song I think, the band are a celtic folk rock band ..though of Pagan influence.
Gareth, Portland Bill : A fishermans Song a nice series of marvelous images presented here. Personally I love V1 & V4 more. Deep
V4 for me, rugged and isolated. I think I can often tell when people are photographing the places that they know intimately. There isn't the need to prove anything, the love shines through.

Hi Andrew..great little Island isn;t it..inland is not very nice these days,..,..but hit the coastline & its quite special in my opinion 
Again, if anyone out there is ever in Dorset , I'll happily take them around for a day to the "hidden" spots.
Gareth
Great set.. Like V1 for the moody element & V2 for the splash of colour!
Michaela
Hi Jeremy.... hope you liked the track........... it hits the spot I think, as for the portland invite...anytime is good
Hi Michaela, thankyou 
This reminds me of the thing we heard as children! long long long ago! it was a dark and stormy night two robbers sat in a cave! one said to the other I will tell you a story!and the story began "it was a dark and stormy night two robbers sat in a cave" lol. no disrespect, I think the fishermen of this country have had a rotten time for too long! and it's about time things changed for the better for them!, I do get very angry about it. Great photo B&W fits it nicely, I love colour but B&W has it's place with subtle tones and intense depths, a like from me, will listen to the link, thank you for your comment, regards Leon.
cheers Leon..great reply.....twas a dark n stormy night :-p
My dad is a hobby fisherman, has a VERY small boat & fishes for seabass in the harbour,puts nything unersize back & quits after he's caught two
Me............. I feel a bit sorry for fish myself...veryu abused., and don;t go fishing at all.
a fine series that reminds me of an old book about the Aran islands I had a long time ago... Very atmospheric. Must try youtube at work, to slow her for music.
Love V2 & 3 for the clairty and beautiful colours, V1 and 4 for the dramatic intensity that mono gives ... I'm with Leon on the fishermen, and with your on the fish ... used to river fish for no other reason than I had always hoped to catch a fish for tea, never got one big enough for a bite, let alone a meal 
... regards, Carol
