WANDER STORIES | DORSET’S JURASSIC COAST : A DRONE & PHOTOGRAPHY GUIDE

Wander Stories | Dorset's Jurassic Coast - A Photography & Drone Guide by Kati of black.white.vivid.

Sometimes what you’re looking for comes when you’re not looking at all.

The past few weeks have been hectic and overwhelming at times, to say the least. When Felix suggested to join him on a trip in England after a business meeting in London I wasn’t sure if I yet wanted to hop on a plane. All I was wishing for was a calm and relaxing weekend, preferably in bed. But then again, I got second thoughts because I know myself. And I know that I can’t stand sitting at home all day long.

So we decided instead of staying in London like we usually do, we would go somewhere else in England. Somewhere calm and relaxing. Far away from all the hustle and bustle of a big city. We more or less randomly decided to go to Dorset’s Jurassic Coast. I think our decision was based on a pretty picture Felix saw on Instagram. It turned out to be the best decision in a long time.Wander Stories | Dorset's Jurassic Coast - A Photography & Drone Guide by Kati of black.white.vivid.Wander Stories | Dorset's Jurassic Coast - A Photography & Drone Guide by Kati of black.white.vivid.Wander Stories | Dorset's Jurassic Coast - A Photography & Drone Guide by Kati of black.white.vivid.

Dorset and the Jurassic Coast are quite busy and a popular weekend destination among British in summer. Finding accommodation last minute was a challenge but we ended up in the best Airbnb ever, in a super tiny cottage house located on a farm surrounded by the sound of horses, cows, sheep and bird. We were joined by two friends from London who recently bought a drone and immediately liked the idea of going on a little photography and drone trip in Dorset and along the Jurassic Coast.

So for 2 full days we explored every little corner of the Jurassic Coast. We got up at 4.30 a.m. to catch the first sun rays, hiked up and down the hilly landscape to find amazing spots, felt the rough cold winds in one moment and warmed up in the warming sunshine the next. And all while being in awe of the beautiful scenery. It sometimes felt that at every turn our expectations of England’s South Coast were exceeded.

I wish we would have had a few more days of weak cell phone coverage, hearty pub food and fresh air. But in the time we travelled up and down the Jurassic Coast we found some gorgeous places. I’ve made a small guide to Dorset’s Jurassic Coast with all my favorite photography and drone spots. Some are well known, to some you need to hike and some others might seem touristy at first but have their charm.

Durdle Door

Come to Durdle Door for sunset when the warm sunlight brightens the Durdle Door. If you want to drone walk away from the main area and up the hills.

Old Harry Rocks

Old Harry Rocks is best for very early sunrise. If you come by car, park it in Studland as there is no road for cars. The walk to Old Harry Rocks is 20-30 min.

Lulworth Cole

Lulworth Cole is one of the busier areas and usually filled with quite a lot of people. But in comparison to other popular holiday destination it’s still fairly empty and quite. Walk away from the crowds and up the hill for a beautiful view of the cove, even if you don’t have a drone.

Mupe Bay

Mupe Bay is just a 20-30 min walk away from Lulworth Cove and is much less busy but offers stunning views too.

St. Aldhelm’s Chapel

St. Aldhelm’s Chapel is probably my favorite spot of the Jurassic Coast. The church itself is not in any of my photos but what I really loved about it is its surrounding. The location is breath taking and I seriously envy the people living in that white cottage.

Chapman’s Pool

Chapman’s Pool is just a stone-throw away from St. Aldhelm’s Chapel. The panorama is breathtaking and took us all by surprise. Walk down and up the hill again for a good exercise and another extraordinary lookout over the pool.

Studland, Swanage & Co

The small villages of Studland, Swanage, Corfe Castle and West Luleworth might be something to easily overlook when marvelling at the impressive landscape. But they do have their cozy charm, especially during the early morning hours when most tourists are still asleep and locals come out to have their first coffee of the day in the sun.

Sleeping & Eating

We stayed at an Airbnb which was just a 5-10 min drive away from Durdle Door. the host was absolutely lovely, we slept like babies in the comfortable bed and even made new friendships with the farm animals.

Lulworth Cove Inn Pub served delicious, good quality British pub food. Think seasonal fruit crumble, hand battered fish with chips, vegetarian Sunday roast and award winning beef pie.

When in England, eat scones. I’m not a scone expert but the ones at Corfe Caste Model Village Courtyard Cafe were fresh and tasty. They also offer homemade breakfast sandwiches and meals. The courtyard is usually filled with biking and hiking tourists but the atmosphere is tranquil and pleasant.

I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. I‘m really not back in the Instagram groove yet. Even though I‘ve already prepared 20 or so new images to post and that were supposed to make the transition from my Instagram break easier, I keep forgetting posting on my feed.  Although I‘ve come love sharing images and short videos on my Stories all the more. I just uploaded a few of yesterday’s happenings in Malmö. I had delicious coffee, ate too much food and met Malin of @goodeatings ✨ Happy days!7

Oh and this is probably my favorite photo yet. I shot it the other day in Dubai where it’s still summer and melons juicy and sweet. I simply love the light and colors. Endless summers can be so pretty, too. Though I’m also enjoying Malmö‘s autumn cold at the moment 💛  #lifeandthyme #foodandwine #appetitejournal #theartofslowliving #eattheworld #cntravelereats #kinfolklife #gatheringslikethese #teamcanon #mycommontablefood
Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening! Because I li Weekend Mood on a Wednesday evening!

Because I literally can’t wait for this work week to be over because I’m heading to Europe tomorrow with stops in Germany, Copenhagen, Malmö and London.

I also can’t wait for autumn. I secretly wish that it will be moody and rainy and maybe even snowing, though the weather forecast is mostly sunny and snow at the beginning of October is probably wishful thinking too. 
Either way, I’m just quite excited for the food I get to eat, friends and family I get to see and magical moments I get to experience. 📸 Edited with my newest preset bundle „Mellow Cream“ (link in profile @blackwhitevivid )  #lifeandthyme  #theartofslowliving #seasonalfood #plantfueled #bevisuallyinspired #shareyourtable #breakfastinbed
Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. Lately, I’ve been on a self-investment journey. I briefly talked about it in my last post. This summer I started learning how to be a good cook. There is no better investment than in yourself and even though sometimes others benefit from it too (like @fevonos who gets to eat pretty great dinners for a while now), often times it’s just for yourself. 
A while ago I made a list of things I wanted to invest my time in. Number one for me will always be photography and styling. It’s something I love and will consistently focus on. While it’s smart to surround yourself with people that are extremely good at it (like @linda_lomelino who styled this gorgeous scene), I also realized that thinking out of the box, improving a skill in one field to become better in another area, is an option too. So I decided to take up handwriting/calligraphy classes.

For the longest time ever I disliked my handwriting. And even though we live in a digital age and I hardly use pen and paper nowadays, my ugly scribbles have always annoyed me. Soon I’ll be taking an online handwriting class, so that my grocery and to-do lists, my journal entries and my Christmas cards finally look pretty. I don’t do this to become crafty or sell cute cards (though you never know where life takes you) but simply because I know I’ll be happy every time I write something down. And it’s a subject that boosts your creativity one way or another (I hope you’re as excited as I am for gorgeous flat lays with handwritten letters 😋). Anything you always wanted to learn or improve?

Happy Thursday and Happy Weekend to all folks here.

Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very firs Guess how long I’ve been delaying this very first post after my four-months Instagram break? 
3 weeks! It’s been sitting here for 3 long weeks and I somehow didn’t have the courage to post it. Do you know that feeling? 
Like when you didn’t go to the gym for the past year (true story) and dread the exhaustion and sore muscles and therefore decide to maybe wait a little longer. Just until you feel super fit and ready. Guess what, ready never comes and you won’t get fit until you start exercising again. 
Or when you didn’t sit behind a steering wheel for the past 10 years (also true story) but now live in Dubai and nothing is fun without driving. It’s scary at first and you have way too many self-doubts but then you wonder why you thought you would be bad at something millions of people do each day. 
Or the time when you didn’t see and haven’t really talked to a (back then good) friend for 8 years and are afraid the chemistry won’t be the same. And then it feels like it was only yesterday you saw each other the last time. 
Those were all moments that felt scary or at least uncomfortable at first. But they all had a somewhat happy ending (if you consider feeling stiff and aching a happy moment 😋). So I just hope that I’ll also survive this post (I heard a lot of things have changed again on Instagram). But I’m mostly excited, I’ve done some soul searching, mood searching and subject searching. The result is a bunch of new photos, new content and new inspiration. It’s all been sitting here for 3 long weeks too. For now I’m just happy I’ve finally shared my first post again and I’m finally back (true story 😉).
I’ve been dragging myself through life lately an I’ve been dragging myself through life lately and I’m dying to get out of that dark hole again. I’m not very good with handling those phases, though I know they are important and necessary to progress and evolve. I usually don’t share these kind of feelings on Instagram, all I do is stay away because I’ve learned that forcing it makes everything worse. So I don’t do photo shoots and share images I hate anyway but I put my phone away and have screen-free days or hours. I go on long evening walks (even when it’s 37C / 99 F outside), bake cakes and sit on the balcony doing nothing. Have you tried that lately. It’s so hard in the beginning but doing nothing other than maybe thinking has been one of the best exercises to clear my head. Since this week I’m seeing light again at the end of the tunnel. I picked up my camera again, started writing for my blog and came across some pretty amazing podcasts that gave me the right pep talk at the right time. If you like podcasts and want to feel inspired and motivated I can highly recommend listening to @onegirlband_ and @local_milk latest episodes. What are the books or podcasts or accounts or blogs that inspire and motivate you?

Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea sna Spring Skillet Pizza with asparagus, sugar pea snaps, edamame, pesto and basil - the first attempt of many more to come. Have you ever made skillet pizza? It looks super easy but mine collapsed when I tried to put it into the hot cast iron pan. But the taste is still super delicious. No need for a pizza stone 💁🏻‍♀️😄

Slowly trying to get back into my routine after ou Slowly trying to get back into my routine after our 2-week vacation. It’s harder than I thought. During the first few days of my holiday I needed a lot of time to just relax and sleep. And then when my mind was well rested, it started working again. New ideas, new projects, new goals. But I didn’t act on them, I didn’t judge, I just let them come and go. That’s the hardest part because I always feel like I need to sit down the next minute and start working. I just knew that I needed a few more days off and that I should really take some time for myself doing something other than work. So being back home I have all these ideas and thoughts accumulated in my head and it’s such a big mess that it rather paralyses than motivates. Does that sound familiar to you? Maybe I should just take another day off, have some pear rosemary galette and write everything down before I start putting it into action. 😊 And just a little reminder, my favorite Lightroom Preset bundle is still 50% off until tomorrow (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). Just saying 🤷🏻‍♀️😊

I took an unplanned break from posting on my Instagram feed though I hope you liked my Stories from Réunion and Mauritius. It’s quite a change in scenery, I really enjoyed the lush and jungle-like landscape, though I’m really looking forward to some sandy time in Dubai now before I head off to a longer Europe trip mid May. Also, I just wanted to let you know that my favorite Lightroom Preset Bundle is 50% off for the next three days (link in profile @blackwhitevivid ). Happy Editing & Happy Sunday 💛

Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another Emirati Sweet Dumplings with Coffee Syrup. Another photoshoot in the desert, another favorite set of photos. Not just because I‘ve grown fond of the sand dunes but also because I‘m joining @terminatetor‘s #virtualcoffeeparty2018 - where other food bloggers from all over the world share a coffee-inspired recipe. The recipe for these dumplings, also known as Luqaimat, is now on the blog (link in profile @blackwhitevivid). I‘ve tagged everyone who participated this year, so if you need an extra dose of coffee this Friday, check out their posts too 😄
