This is just one of the stunning images of west Dorset to feature in a local photographer’s calendar next year.

James Loveridge has built up quite the reputation for his photographs across Dorset and is releasing a 2021 calendar of some of his favourite photos.

He managed to capture this shot of West Bay on an early morning in May, getting the milky way in thanks to the clear weather we had been having.

He said: “It is largely west Dorset - West Bay, Colmers Hill, Lyme Regis, Abbotsbury, Burton Bradstock, Seatown, Eype and a few further afield like Hardy’s Monument and Durdle Door.

“It is mostly flowers, sunsets and a couple of night-time photos. It is the third year I have done one.”

The calendar will be A3 and printed by Creeds Design and Print in Bridport. It is now available to pre-order from jamesloveridgephotography.co.uk
