In Two Years Before the Mast, Dana describes vaqueros from Mission San Juan Capistrano throwing hides over these cliffs. Sometimes they got stuck and the sailors from the Pilgrim had to climb up to get them.
This photograph taken at the rear of Sewerby Hall (also known as Sewerby House) looking towards Flamborough The hall is a Grade I listed Georgian country house set in 50 acres of landscaped gardens in the village of Sewerby, 2 miles (3.2 km) from the seaside town of Bridlington in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.
Flamborough Head is a promontory, 8 miles long on the Yorkshire coast of England, between the Filey and Bridlington bays of the North Sea. It is a chalk headland, with sheer white cliffs.
Au gré des chemins : des falaises, des couleurs automnales, une mer eau turquoise, une lumière tapante..
Mais aussi des mystères, comme cette antre qui attire la curiosité. 🙈

Bempton Cliffs looking towards Flamborough Head.
The hard chalk cliffs at Bempton rise are relatively resistant to erosion and offer lots of sheltered headlands and crevices for nesting birds. The cliffs run about 6 miles (10 km) from Flamborough Head north towards Filey and are over 100 metres (330 ft) high at some points. The cliffs at Bempton are the highest in England.
There are good walkways along the top of the cliffs and several well fenced and protected observation points.
On a good summers day you may have to wait for a good viewing position, as the place can get very crowded with bird watchers & photographers, but well worth it for the views
... better than a snarly nag??
A pinyon skeleton hangs over the ledge above Monument Canyon in Colorado National Monument. The Kissing Couple, Independence Monument, and the Organ Pipe are lined up betwen the branches. In the distance the Book Cliffs make up the skyline above the Colorado River Valley.
This point marks the transition between what I consider to be the Southern Oregon Coast and the Central Oregon Coast. As seen from this image facing south, the Southern Oregon Coast is low lying and full of large beaches and sand dunes. On the horizon is Florence, a town on a river with a very picturesque harbour. This picture is taken next to Cox Rock after the highway climbs up a hill. To the north is rocky and steep coast line.
No cliff? Build under a bridge. No bridge? A picnic shelter will do in a pinch. This Cliff Swallow has decided this is the spot where it will build its nest and is guarding the spot, even chasing off other swallows. The mud on the ceiling and wall is probably remnants of nests (Cliff or Barn) from previous years. The park department removes the old nests every fall.
