Sunlight streamed through a window as narrow as a path to heaven ...

We walked from Winspit to St Adhelm's Head - I wanted to visit the chapel - I would sit in silence there, out of the world, comforted by ancient stone - 

Upon the cliff tops, gale force winds blew in from the sea - crows whirled skywards from newly tilled fields - 

Foam covered the rocks where we'd sunbathed in the summer - three gulls skimmed the turbulent waves - 

We saw a peregrine, head lowered, gazing downwards at the sea - the next moment, it flew parallel to the cliffs, scything through the electric air, heading towards Dancing Ledge - 

Huge clouds clouds moved across the sky - their shadows darkened the storm tossed waters - 

In the chapel, sunlight streamed through a window as narrow as path to heaven -
