A Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) perched on the edge at Bempton Cliffs.
Most Kittiwakes feed well out at sea and, in winter, lead a rough life, enduring the gales and rain of mid-ocean for months. In summer they nest on sheer cliffs with the tiniest ledges.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
A familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. Numbers of kestrels declined in the 1970s, probably as a result of changes in farming and so it is included on the Amber List. They have adapted readily to man-made environments and can survive right in the centre of cities.

BAZAR - Playa Vista House @Anthem
Loving these contemporary homes that are being released at the moment. I can never decide between living in some traditional cottage, a medieval fortress or a striking modern home such as this from BAZAR. Large floor length windows bring the outside in, and set in this landscape it offers the most sensational views.

It is not news to anyone that Rio de Janeiro is full of paradisiacal landscapes, in addition to the beautiful beaches, the Marvelous City also has beautiful parks and reserves of Atlantic forests, where it is possible to go on trails, bathe in waterfalls and sit back and relax.

Wild flowers hanging on to the edge of an enormous cliff at
Cabo de São Vicente, Algarve, Portugal. This wind blasted and storm pounded headland is the southwesterly extremity of Europe. Until the 14th century, it was the end of the known world. The jagged cliffs rise 200 ft from the Atlantic Ocean you can see there way down below.
Photographed in 2004, this is another from my archives, edited today - I'll try to do some more recent photos soon when life becomes a little less demanding.

I hope you like my painting, thanks so much for each view, comment and favourite, as always !
Another photo from my adventure at Soar Mill Cove. I took this one on my way down from the cliffs just after sunset. I noticed the large amount of thrift lining the cliff edge and had to take another shot. Like with the previous photo I blended two exposures together to overcome the huge difference in brightness between sky and foreground. I'm quite happy with the result!
The price I paid for those photos from the cove is that I came down with the man-flu since yesterday - I was sweating like a pig walking back uphill to the holiday home and the wind was chilly - the things you do for photography ;-)
Worth it? You bet!
Pedra da Gávea is a monolithic mountain in Tijuca Forest, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Composed of granite and gneiss, its elevation is 844 metres (2,769 ft), making it one of the highest mountains in the world that ends directly in the ocean. Trails on the mountain were opened up by the local farming population in the early 1800s; today, the site is under the administration of the Tijuca National Park.
The mountain's name translates as Rock of the Topsail, and was given to it during the expedition of Captain Gaspar de Lemos, begun in 1501, and in which the Rio de Janeiro bay (today Guanabara Bay, but after which the city was named) also received its name. The mountain, one of the first in Brazil to be named in Portuguese, was named by the expedition's sailors, who compared its silhouette to that of the shape of a topsail of a carrack upon sighting it on January 1, 1502. That name in turn came to be given to the Gávea area of the city of Rio de Janeiro.
Differential weathering on one side of the rock has created what is described as a stylized human face. Markings on another face of the rock have been described as an inscription. Geologists and scientists are nearly in agreement that the "inscription" is the result of erosion and that the "face" is a product of pareidolia. Furthermore, the consensus of archaeologists and scholars in Brazil is that the mountain should not be viewed as an archaeological site.
From the last leg of our coastal hike from Tintagel to Boscastle. There were two ponies grazing on the hill that features the little white lighthouse (Boscastle Coastwatch Station). I was extra careful as the pony seemed to be fairly close to the cliff edge!
The hill was the location of an ancient settlement - those people had quite the view from their huts!

The Puffin sat at the entrance of his burrow enjoying a few peaceful moments before launching off the high cliff to fish in the dazzling blue sea.
To get this image I REALLY had to push the boundary. I'm not good with heights but I sat on the edge of a cliff and blocked out the sick feeling in my stomach and wobbly knees and concentrated on looking through the viewfinder. Well worth it!
52/2015 Week 25
Staying in a cottage about 10 min walking distance from the coastal path, I could not resist to nip down on the first evening of our stay to see the sun go down. Unfortunately, there was a bit of haze over the horizon so the sunset was not as strong as I hoped but having the coast all to myself was still a lovely experience.
Another shot from the Crowns engine houses of the Botallack mines at the west coast of southern Cornwall. One of those occasions that showed how much of a difference a bit of sunshine can make to a photo. Waiting patiently for the brief moment of a bit of sun shining on the cliffs the scenery is transformed from dull to vibrant.
While scrambling along the rugged coastline of North Devon I discovered a hidden cove which can be reached climbing over the rocks in the foreground. Those jagged rocks and the turquoise water made me stand there or a while to just watch the waves coming in. Afterwards, I took a dip in the refreshing sea, that day at the beach was definitely one of the highlights of our camping trip to North Devon!

For the last destination of our recent half-term holiday trip to Cornwall we quickly stopped at Bedruthan Steps. We've been here before but not at high tide with such massive waves. Our eldest unfortunately got ill on the second day of our trip with high fever so the rest of the family sat this one out in the car while I madly rushed to the cliff edge to catch a bit of that lovely warm sunshine. I did not want to let the family wait too long for me so I came back sweating like a pig - a bit of morning exercise at a fantastic coastal location ;-)
Lack of clouds and the gale force winds made me work hard for any shot here at the Lizard Point but i wanted to capture just how blue the sea is down there.
Hope you enjoy.
Have a fab weekend everyone :)
Some really steep cliffs on that side of the valley facing the sea. Additional interest on site: there's black goat grazing amidst the rocks and slopes and the loose scree along the slopes is full of fossilised remains from the Devonian, some 400 million years ago!
This is a view of Loch Eck from a rocky outcrop overlooking the north end. In the distance can be seen the Whistlefield Inn..
.
I really don't like heights and it was very, very gusty that day so I do admit to covering the last 10 feet to the cliff edge on hands and knees!.
.
This is my favourite loch and I've kayaked almost every inch of it so it was great to see it from this height.
A spot of precarious ploughing. Abercastle, Pembrokeshire, UK. The ruined building on the right is a former grain store.
Continuing with an amazing encounter with this juvenile Peregrine Falcon. One thing I've learnt from this experience is I really need to spend more time with them - something I plan to put right next year...
Thank you all who fave and comment on my photo'/video's,much appreciated.And thank you all for looking.

For New Year's Day we traditionally go to the sea - so we drove down to Sidmouth. The weather was pretty nasty, cold and wet - but at least we got a bit of fresh air. This is the view along the Jurassic Coast with the red cliffs of Sidmouth disappearing into the fog. Because of the horizontal drizzle I could only point the camera into that direction for a few seconds before the lens was covered in droplets.
The Church of Saint Mary is an Anglican parish church serving the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire England.
It was founded around 1110, although its interior dates chiefly from the late 18th century. The church was designated a Grade I listed building on 23 February 1954. It is situated on the town's east cliff, overlooking the mouth of the River Esk overlooking the town, close to the ruins of Whitby Abbey. Church Steps, a flight of 199 steps lead up the hill to the church from the streets below.
The church graveyard is used as a setting in Bram Stoker's novel, Dracula.

A young gannet chick's head emerges from mum's throat with a big lump of regurgitated food. The passing of food from mum to chick cannot be seen because the chick's head disappears in mum's throat. It looks like mum is eating her own chick until the chick's head emerges with a lump of fish. The chick needs to grow quickly. The first time young gannets take flight from their clifftop colony they have to fly all the way to Australia, a 2700 km journey.
