Taken at Prestbury Hill, Gloucestershire.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
The cliffs, c. 6 km long and up to 128 metres tall, are Denmark's highest, and support a unique set of natural habitats. Access to the narrow beach is via a flight of 500 steps from the parking area set within the beech forest behind the cliffs
not the best of light though -.-

On the way back to Wales on Wednesday I took a few hours at Rough Bank. I know I probably won't get too much time over the summer so with the weather having been warm, and some overcast conditions forecast for the afternoon, I thought I'd have a chance to find some fresh butterflies resting up when the sun wasn't shining. So glad I did. There'll be more to come.
While walking from Birling Gap to Beachy head lighthouse, I spotted this small cave six feet up the cliff face. I had to have a look inside, as I'm irresistibly drawn to such places. It would be a great little niche to sit out a calm tide, but get battered in a big swell. Chalk Pie by Frank Zappa is perfect, a feast of chalk on this majestic coast.

My annual butterfly hunt turned up a lot of butterflies this year which was great to see. As always the challenge remained to find some in photogenic positions - the background in particular. There are some amazing images to see on SM but, boy they are hard to get - certainly in my experience. Although the weather has been great for them, over a number of visits to this site, overnight temperatures remained high which meant they were active very quickly next morning and what seemed like a constant gentle breeze made sharp images a real challenge. I managed a few images I was happy with including this of a pair of roosting chalk hill blues, luckily in some uncluttered grasses directly in line with the rising sun.

A small lake (pond) adjacent to Chalk Creek in the Swatch Range of the Rocky Mountains. It's known to be a great fishing spot for trout.
Broken Arrow had its first fall festival with Chalk It Up, great weather and a fantastic turn out. There was a lot of art on the street.
The Old Flamborough Lighthouse served as a daymark, but there is no evidence of the tower being lit. Sir John Clayton and George Blake established the tower in 1674. It was designed to display a fire on top, but Clayton was unable to raise enough funds to provide the fuel.
The headland was finally lit when the current Flamborough Head Lighthouse came into operation in December 1806.
From around 1840 until the early 1900s the tower was used as a marine telegraph station using semaphore flag signals. Signals would be transmitted along the coast to the next station, which would have been at Bridlington Fort. Still it stands,
From Wikipedia: "The Jasmund National Park is a nature reserve in the Jasmund peninsula, in the northeast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is famous for the largest chalk cliffs of Germany, the so called Königsstuhl (German = "king's chair"). These cliffs are up to 161 m high above the Baltic Sea. The undisturbed beech forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park." see more on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmund_National_Park or de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Jasmund

The Chalk Creek flows from St Elmo down into the Arkansas River from the Sawatch Range, part of the Continental Divide in Colorado.
I happened to be here mid-day, and so the light was rather harsh, but I felt that it worked well for a black and white image.
Congrats on Explore!
