The irresponsible stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.
There are frequent cliff falls here at Birling Gap, and yet people still go to the very edge and look over. I couldn't believe it when I saw this family with 2 young children walk to the edge, although they did take hold of their hands before they got there. Plus it was blowing a gale and a small child could easily get blown over.
The Cliffs of Moher are entirely vertical and the cliff edge is abrupt. On a clear day, the views are tremendous, with the Aran Islands etched on the waters of Galway Bay. From the cliff edge, you can just hear the booming far below as the waves crash and gnaw at the soft shale and sandstone.
With a due-west exposure, sunset is the best time to visit. The weather during our visit was perfection!
These cliffs are epic & just a short snowy walk to get to. The light was really flat when we got there though. I used a 10 stop ND filter for a two minute exposure to bring out the movement in the sky.
if you look under the tower on the cliff, you can make out a face, giving this image it's title. Taken just after a dull sunset

The Chalk Cliffs are an iconic historic landmark in Colorado's southern Sawatch Range. The cliffs are at the entrance to Chalk Creek Canyon (left) on the southeast flank of Mount Princeton. These striking white cliffs are made not of chalk but of kaolinite, a soft rock produced by hot springs percolating through cracks in the rock.
Cliffs Of Moher in Ireland is definitely an amazing destination, the photos don't do justice of just how high cliffs are. There is also a beautiful tower overlooking the cliffs and from what I read,it was built as look out tower during the Napoleon times (Wikipedia)
I remember we were rushing to the top as we just witnessed a beautiful storm approaching the cliffs when we got there we were treated with an amazing sunset, the light and colors were outstanding.
Highly recommend this place. (Tip: if you go after visiting hours it is free entry :) )
Cliffs along the Atlantic Ocean in the civil parish of Dunquin (in Irish, Dún Chaoin), north of the westernmost tip of the Dingle Peninsula (in County Kerry, Munster Province, southwest Ireland), on a partly overcast afternoon in mid-May 2024.
The Dingle Peninsula is the northernmost of the five peninsulas of southwestern Ireland that stick out like fingers into the Atlantic Ocean. Its name in Irish is Corca Dhuibhne, sometimes Anglicised as Corkaguiny. The western Dingle is part of the Gaeltacht, one of the areas of the Republic of Ireland where Irish is officially designated as the primary spoken language.
This stretch of cliffs is across from the now-uninhabited Blasket Islands. This scene was taken from the viewing platform connected with the Blasket Centre (Irish name: Ionad an Bhlascaoid), which is run by the Blasket Foundation and the Irish Office of Public Works through its Heritage Ireland unit. The Blaskets – in Irish, Na Blascaodaí – fostered a traditional culture described through a well-known group of 20th-century Irish-language works by their inhabitants.The Centre provides extensive information about the geography, history, culture, and literature of the Blaskets.
In April 2024, the Irish government established the Kerry Seas National Park / Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí, a marine national park that includes the Blaskets and surrounding waters. The Blaskets are also an EU-designated Natura 2000 Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protection Area (SPA).
