Fort
Fort Clonque just out into the dangerous channel called "The Swinge" on Alderney
Clonque is a Victorian era fort, that was modified by the Nazis onto a part of their "Atlantic Wall", like most of Alderney. You can rent this place from the landmark trust goo.gl/AdLiK
I went for a ride to Fámara today, it is just a few km away from my village, but I haven't been there for many years. I was very surprised to find these gorgeous cliffs there, they go vertically down to the sea, 218 meters above sea level. It was breathtaking to go near the edge, so beautiful. There is a farm in Fámara, just a bit further down in the valley, south of this place. Two people live there only, they moved to Fámara last year in 2010, before that the place was not inhabited for two decades or so. It takes around 10 minutes to drive from here to Vágur, the nearest village. Fámara is on the west coast of Suðuroy. Most of the west coast are vertical cliffs, we are spoiled with cliffs, the highest sea cliff in Suðuroy is Beinisvørð, which is 470 meter high.

My favorites:
Sea Cliff bridge, on the northern Illawarra coast. Above the bridge in the distance, a stone train is passing! (I was unaware when taking the photo.)
Huge cliffs of Buntsandstein, a famous facies of Triassic rock formations. As found near Montalbán, Spain. People for scale ;)
Jenny Dixon Beach Cliffs.
I went out this day chasing the clouds. I think i have captured what they were like that day. They were moving North to South at a very fast pace. The difficulties in this scene were the dark shadows in the cliff as the Sun was in the West and the Sea-Spray splashing directly on me and the filters.
I had to capture 2 images one for the shadows and another for the highlights and then combine them in post so you can see what i could see but the camera cannot in one exposure with out a Graduated Filter.
I also had to keep wiping down my Filters to remove the Sea-Spray.
With all this happening i only had time for 3 frames. I hope you enjoy this image from what i captured.

Birling Gap, near Eastbourne in East Sussex, are part of the world famous Seven Sisters chalk cliffs, one of the longest stretches of undeveloped coastline on the south coast. From right to left, this view shows a panorama from the east towards Beachy Head , the chalk cliffs at Birling Gap, and towards the west towards the seven sisters.
