There was a storm brewing...!
Luckily, there was this boat ahead of us, illustrating the scale nicely.
On the way to the Summit of Slieve League - we never actually got to the top. These cliffs are supposed to be the highest sea cliffs in Europe...
I was walking on the cliff to the right one day last month when a security guard came up to kick me off the site. People used to camp up there and now they have security guards watching the spot. He told me someone had died after falling off a cliff. "This cliff?" I asked. "One of them," He said. I had read about the death and wondered where he fell from. I guess it doesn't matter. They're all dangerous.
I drove up here last month intending to shoot north of the old pier, but stopped when I saw the trail down to this spot. I'd never been down here. Not sure why not, maybe it just looked uninviting or something. I went down and loved it so much I basically camped here for a week to shoot some differing conditions. This was a shot from a day with calm surf but some nice color.
Chalk cliffs at Birling Gap in East Sussex suffered 7 years worth of erosion in the storms this winter.
A reef surf break is in front of this cave. The homes overlooking Terra Mar Point can be seen in the distance.

The Bunda Cliffs are composed of limestone, which extends far inland. The cliff face ranges in height from 40-80 metres, and stretches west for 800 Km.
There are three distinct units of limestone. The light coloured base, Wilson Bluff Limestone, formed when sea levels were higher and the Southern Ocean inundated southern Australia. Skeletons of billions of marine organisms were eventually deposited on the submerged plain to form the limestone.
The next cliff layer is the Nullarbor Limestone. This began forming 25 million years ago, again due to inundation and sedimentation.
The cliffs are capped by the Bridgewater formation, formed between 1.6 million and 100, 000 years ago. It consists of a hardened layer of windblown calcareous sand.
