The bright glow coming from the right hand side of the Evening Sunset which wasn't there long enough to catch many more snaps. Within 5 mins of this shot it lashed down I had to make a dash for cover.

Cabo Espichel (lit. Cape Espichel) is a cape located to the west of Sesimbra, Portugal. Tourists are drawn there due to breathtaking views of its cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The location is famous for the a sanctuary complex (lit. SantuĂ¡rio de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel), built extremely close to the edge of the tall cliffs, which includes a church still in use today.
Also famous, are the several dinosaur fossil trackways exposed in some of the now tilted Jurassic strata which form the cape's cliffs. It is said that local superstition interpreted the trackways as the path taken by the Holy Virgin ("Nossa Senhora") when riding a giant mule from the ocean and up the cliffs, which led to the eventual construction of the convent at that location.

An unknown girl doing some yoga on the Trolltunga (the troll’s tongue) rock. Trolltunga is reached after an 11 km hike where you climb up 1050 m in total. We camped on the cliff and returned the 11 kms the next day.
The rock is sticking out of a cliff at 1200 m above sealevel. It is overlooking Ringedalsvatnet (at app. 465 m above sealevel), a lake in the municipality of Odda in Hordaland county, Norway. The lake below is the main reservoir for a hydroelectric power station in Tyssedal which provides electricity for the power intensive industries in the nearby town of Odda. This explains the clearly visible waterlevel-marks on the lower parts of the mountains surrounding it. The Ringedals dam all the way in the back is 521 m wide and 33 m high and was constructed between 1910 and 1918.
Went to the ocean for magic hour. I don't know where my head was at, but it certainly wasn't on photography.
Came back with virtually nothing

"In several resorts, such as Folkestone and Southend, the cliff railway has had an historical relationship with the town pier. This is especially true in the case of Saltburn, where the railway's close proximity to Saltburn Pier makes it seem almost like an extension. When the pier was constructed in 1869, the high cliff acted a s a barrier between the town and the shoreline, threatening the commercial success of the resort. The original solution was a vertical lift, which remained operational until 1883; it was demolished for the construction of a cliff railway."
An der Algarve gab es Fischer, die von den Klippen aus ihre Angeln ausgelegt haben. Dabei befanden Sie sich oft bis zu 60m Ă¼ber dem Wasserspiegel.
