The last few days have been relatively uneventful when compared to the first few days here.  We walked to Old Harry’s Rocks a couple of days ago. It was a very tiring walk over extremely steep cliffs and hills and by the time we got to the top, we were really exhausted. It took us a good 15 minutes of lying in the grass before we could start walking again. While walking, I took some occasional pauses and during these pauses, it felt like time had stopped. With the wind blowing through my hair and having absolutely no sound except for the whoosing of the wind, I found out what the sound of silence is like. We had to walk for another 30 minutes before got to the tip of the rocks. The view from there was quite nice and I spent a little while taking lots of photographs.We went down to the South Beach after that and had a late lunch at a small open air cafe there. After the meal, we spent about 45 minutes playing around as we waited for the bus back.

We went to the lighthouse near Durlston yesterday and several places along the way. It was raining every now and then and was quite windy and wasnt the best weather for a walk but we still had fun. The sea was wild and we couldnt feel the time fly while watching the waves thrashing and smashing  against the rocks.

I bought 2 cameras yesterday, both of them were a bargain so I grabbed the offers. One of them is a 110 film camera called ‘Hanimex Loadmatic’. I’ve managed to find some online sellers of the 110 Film cartridges but they seem to be more expensive than what I paid for the camera. The other one, is a Cosina CSM with a Cosinon 50mm f/1.7 M42 Mount Lens. It has a split image focusing screen and is completely manual with a manual aperture ring and provides for a totally new and interesting experience. I plan on processing the film tomorrow to see how the images have turned out and I hope they come out alright.

I went to Wareham today and spent a couple of hours randomly walking around town and taking photographs as usual. I sat by the river for a considerable amount of time watching the ducks swim by and people fishing. There was a calm breeze and it felt like bliss to sit there and enjoy the atmosphere. I couldnt feel the time pass by, but the bus screeching next to me reminded me that it was time to get home. Once I got back, I sat by the beach for sometime enjoying the cool breeze and slowly realized that it was 7pm but still bright due to the Daylight Savings time change today.

We’ll be leaving tomorrow for Seaton and will be staying in a Caravan. We most probably will not have any internet connectivity there and therefore, I shall update my 365 Day Project only after I get back which is next Sunday.
