Early Star Trek set?  by dulciknit

Early Star Trek set?

It looks a bit like one of those early, dodgy, studio sets, I think, but it's for real and, again, better on large view if you have a little extra time. Thank you.

Lester and I made a detour on the way home on Sunday and visited Portland Bill, a narrow promontory on the Dorset coast and source of Portland stone, which has been widely used as a building material, including for some well known buildings both here and abroad : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portland_stone

The walker stopped to check her walking gear while I was lining up, so I included her to give some idea of scale. I don't know why the dressed stones that she's standing next to are there.

Many, many thanks for viewing 'Crossing the bridge" and for the smashing comments and the favs - all greatly appreciated and treasured.
Beautiful!

Or could be one of those old Dr Who sets, the ones that were filmed in some quarry or other meant to replicate a stony planet.

@girlie Oh, yes, I see what you mean. They were usually filmed at a china clay pit in Cornwall.

@dulciknit That's right; I remember seeing a doco about it once.

Nice composition, the textures of the stones really seen on close up. The walker was handy to give that perspective.

The walker arrived at the right moment. A beautiful shot. Lovely colour and textures.

This definitely is fantastic when viewed large! The different tones of blue against the rock and sand are great. I really like the way it's framed. A definite FAV for me.
