The aurora forecast was low last night, but I took my chances and went out anyway - I was pleasantly surprised!

I have seen this beautiful bridge photographed hundreds of times but never from a unique perspective. So one morning before sunrise I walked through thick bush, jumped a fence and continued along a train track before stumbling across this magnificent view.

The form of the coastline around Durdle Door is controlled by its geology--both by the contrasting hardnesses of the rocks, and by the local patterns of faults and folds.The arch has formed on a concordant coastline where bands of rock run parallel to the shoreline. The rock strata are almost vertical, and the bands of rock are quite narrow. Originally a band of resistant Portland limestone ran along the shore, the same band that appears one mile along the coast forming the narrow entrance to Lulworth Cove. Behind this is a 120-metre (390 ft) band of weaker, easily eroded rocks, and behind this is a stronger and much thicker band of chalk, which forms the Purbeck Hills. These steeply dipping rocks are part of the geological structure known as the Lulworth crumple, itself part of a broader monocline (a kinked type of geological fold) produced by the building of the Alps during the mid-Cenozoic.

Driving in Death Valley is a unforgettable experience with much excitement–many endless roads and never-before-seen scenic spots of all kinds of rocks and geography. This is one of the roads I drove which was long and seemingly endless...
