Milky seas

Below a wind wracked cloudy sky the sea trails milky blue along the Purbecks around Durdle Door as the rough autumn seas erode the tons of chalk rubble deposited periodically along the shore line by slippages and falls. Lapped at by the waves, a fresh pile of chalk boulders west of Scratchy Bottom blocks your progress along the beach and add to the milky seas. More sections of cliff look poised to follow around the bottom. This year has been witness to more cliff slides than I can remember; slides regularly appear, but not with the frequency or severity of recent months.  The elements are conspiring to effect change on the timeless Jurassic coast.
