Our Big Picture today shows a somewhat different perspective.
You can see the splendid curve of Weymouth bay from an aerial view.
This picture was taken by respected Weymouth photographer Graham Herbert from the top of St John's Church in Greenhill.
It was taken on what looks like a beautifully sunny day with a busy beach and a steady flow of traffic driving along the seafront.
Particularly notable in the photo is Weymouth's old Pier Bandstand, which was demolished in 1986.
Herbert took photos of Weymouth between 1953 and 1983.
He supplied images to the Dorset Daily Echo and was always on the scene to capture local events and daily life. He was the first photographer to be used by the Echo on a regular basis before it had its own photographic department
He captured many aspects of local life, including festivals and performances, shop displays and interiors, street scenes and every-day occurrences and agricultural and industrial work.
