January 2003

The month starts with a brief cold and frosty spell, a winter sunrise over Poole and Purbeck seen from Badbury Rings
The frost lifts the drabness of winter vegetation, early morning along the River Stour between Wimborne and Sturminster Marshall
After a further spell of rain and flooding, clear cold weather returns once more, late afternoon on Ballard Down
Towards the end of the month cold rain returns from the north, along one of the drove roads crossing the chalk downs near Badbury Rings
Enjoying a spell of good weather, fishermen relax in the winter sun after landing their catch at Mudeford
