Today the weather has been horrendous, so I popped down to Sandbanks to take a few photos. Torrential rain, gusts of wind – so strong that at times I could barely stand up – a typical English summer!
Here are a few photos from today’s stormy weather at Sandbanks, Shore Road and Flaghead beaches. It’s safe to say that I was soaked from head to foot (it’s okay, my camera was fine).
