The first was taken this past weekend on Sunday, August 31, a weekend many termed on social media as 'the last weekend of summer'.
It shows a much quieter Weymouth Beach, with many tourists having already headed home with the new school year about to start.
A few brave bathers can be seen in Weymouth Bay, but clouds tend to dominate the skyline. Amid breezy conditions, there is plenty of room on Weymouth's famous golden sands.

The previous day, Saturday, August 30, proved a total washout in Dorset with torrential rain and strong winds keeping people well away from the beach.
The second picture, taken on Bank Holiday Monday, August 25, shows a jam-packed beach and a bustling Weymouth Promenade.

There is not a cloud in the sky and the scene is like a picture postcard of an English seaside resort on a perfect day of weather.
Numerous beachgoers are cooling off in the sea and Weymouth Beach is teeming with holidaymakers and day trippers soaking up the sun.
The fun continued into the evening with people staying in the resort to see the final Weymouth Fireworks display of the summer season.

There was a rare opportunity to see an evening Punch & Judy show just before the fireworks, and, as you can see, it was jam-packed.
Professor Mark Poulton performed the traditional seaside show on Weymouth Beach in a one-off performance at 8.30pm, full of extras and the only evening show of the year.
These interesting daytime images of the beach were taken by keen photographer Peter Harriman, a member of the Dorset Echo Camera Club.

The Met Office said this summer would 'almost certainly' be the UK's warmest on record as the mean average temperature for the season stood at 16.13C (61.03F), based on data up to August 25.
This is higher than the existing summer record of 15.76C (60.37F), which was set in 2018.
Zoe Hutin, a senior meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Given the last two and a half months of hot weather, temperatures have been sufficiently above average that the comparatively lower temperatures will not significantly affect the mean temperature of the meteorological summer.
"Mean temperatures would need to be around 10 degrees or so for this summer not to surpass the current hottest summer, and so it's almost certainly going to be a record-breaker."
If this season is confirmed as setting a new high for average temperature, it will mean all of the UK's top five warmest summers will have occurred since the year 2000.
