RSPB Bempton Cliffs a splendid cliff top reserve and a wonderful place to see close up views of nesting sea birds. Today I observed lots of Gannets and Kittiwakes nesting. I did see 2 Puffins out at sea, but none on the cliff tops yet. I also heard a Skylark for the first time this year. Well worth a visit
A visit to St Abbs this evening. This was the first shot of the night before I started to struggle for light. I really should get myself more organised.
The last light of the day shines on a cliff face just east of the Royal Arches in Yosemite Valley casting the Sun’s warm glow on the cool Sierra Nevada granite. The enormity of the Sierra Nevada Batholith - the mass of granite that makes up the majority of the mountain range - never ceases to amaze me. Looking down upon its glacially carved and eroded shapes I ponder the vast geological tapestry that led to this superlative valley, and the forces still at work pushing them higher. While this narrow sunlit ledge is merely 1600 feet or so above the valley floor below, just half the height of its famous neighbor away to the west, El Capitan, it is quite dramatic in the spotlight.
The Cliffs of Moher in all their beauty from seaside.
It was an amazing day, and luckly my wife insisted on buying a ticket to visit the Cliffs not only from land-side but also from seaside. Kudos to her :)

The Gardar cliff is composed of dark basalt columns that some say resemble a pyramid or organ pipes.
Somehow, no visit to Bridgnorth is complete without a trip to the Cliff Railway - opened in 1892 and still going strong today.
Afternoon is my favourite time in Zion Canyon. The sun shines down into the canyon, highlighting individual trees and rock formations, while everything else remains in deep shadow
