The puffins are a great bird to watch. They are either standing about or constantly darting overhead collecting food for their young.
You can see them emerge from their burrows, stretch their wings and launch off in to harsh looking sea.
Then you'll see another swoop in with some sand eels, touch the ground for a split second and then shoot into their burrows before the gulls rob them of their eels.
Vertical cliffs, Faroe Islands.
Faroe Islands are rugged and rocky, the coasts are mostly cliffs. Spectacular dramatic sea cliffs are a common element of the coast, with some of the highest in the world. An other common element is water. Rivers and streams are continuously fed by frequent rains caused by an instable climate originated from the position of the archipelago, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, in the path of depressions moving north-east. Stunning waterfalls can be found everywhere on the islands creating a suggestive, fashinating and wild landscape.

I wasn’t prepared for the beauty of Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area west of Lumpkin in Southwestern Georgia. (It has also been called Providence Canyon State Park.) I really didn’t expect much since the so-called “canyon “ is only 150 feet in depth at its deepest. After all, the “Canyon” is only a little over 150 years old and is the result of poor farming and forestry practices in the early 1800’s. I expected red gullies in the Georgia clay.What I found were massive gullies with beautiful fluted walls in red pink, orange and white. Ridges, pinnacles; hoodoos and erosional remnants accentuate the canyon gullies. The result is some of the prettiest views I have seen within the state of Georgia. The canyon is rather small but gorgeous and viewable from several vantage points including the canyon floor.
From the cliff edge of Bali, the waves crash against the rocks on this last day I spent in Indonesia.

What appears to be perilously close to the 300’ or so drop to the bottom of the cliff, is a freight train with 66559 in charge of loaded potash wagons destined for Middlesbrough from the Boulby potash mine (6F32). Saltburn, North Yorkshire.

I've hesitated on uploading this since I took it because it came out like a poor imitation of this excellent shot from Sutanto, and the framing is almost identical to this black and white version I already uploaded here. But what can I say, I still like the shot and I haven't uploaded anything for almost a week!
There's not a lot else to say about it - I shot with the white balance set to Incandescent which added a lot of blue to it, so much so that I actually backed it off a bit and desaturated the shot. If I could be bothered to figure out what I was doing I could try processing the RAW file to get it just right, but that's not going to happen just now.
For the record, the building perched up on the rocks in Cliff House, home of a nice restaurant (the food can be seen here.) This was shot along Ocean Beach looking north just a while after sunset.
