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. 🙈

Three Cliffs Bay (grid reference SS535876), otherwise Three Cliff Bay, is a bay on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula in the City and County of Swansea, Wales. The bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill, a large stream, flows into the sea in the middle of the bay.
Managed to pop into RSPB Bempton Cliffs on way up North for a family event. First time I've been there and first time I've seen a Gannet - I was not disappointed such beautiful birds! HWW ;0)
The Cork coastline is a special place.
This is another shot from my short visit to Nohoval the other day.
The wind was really whipping around causing some amazing waves to crash over the rocks and I wanted to capture this. And even in the dying light of the day the colours of the native grasses and flowers still stood out along the coast.

This image of RSPB Bempton Cliffs was taken in July 2014. I have uploaded it to show those that have never visited Bempton, what the area looks like. There are six viewing platforms along the length of the site and you can see a group of people stood on one of the platforms in the distance. A couple of the platforms are accessible to wheelchair users also. These platforms allow you to get great views of the various sea birds nesting on the sheer cliff faces. A great place to visit if you are ever in the area. There is a visitor centre on site with the usual shop, food and toilet facilities.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.
An oldie from four years ago.
This is Bempton cliffs, an RSPB bird reserve on the Yorkshire coast. It as one of the biggest Gannet colonies in the uk.
Its well worth a visit if your in this part of the world.

The iconic Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most visited natural attractions. Stretching for 8km along the Atlantic Ocean coast, they reach 214m at their highest point.
The Cliffs of Moher (/ˈmʌhər/; Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Curren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres (9 miles). At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor 6 km (4 miles) to the south, and Doolin 7 km (4 miles) to the north.(Wikipedia)
On Faraid Head, near Durness in the far north west of Scotland. On a subsequent visit three years ago the stripes were far less prominent.
One from the archives, taken with my first DSLR and a Sigma zoom which was ok at the wide end but very soft on one side when zoomed in.

Fulmar has a remarkable breeding history, its North Atlantic population originally restricted to St Kilda and an island off the coast of Iceland. The last 250 years have seen a remarkable expansion in Fulmar populations and the colonisation of suitable sites around Iceland, Britain, Ireland, northwest France and sections of the Norwegian coast. The reasons for the expansion are unclear.
Young Fulmars spend their first four or five years at sea, before visiting the colonies at which they will then breed. Even then, they will not breed themselves until they are nine years of age and reach sexual maturity. (BTO).
My thanks to everyone who viewed, faved or commented on this photo. It is much appreciated.
Swallows on the ground, both males and females, typically raise and flutter their wings in an effort to prevent those unwelcome matings. At the same time, their gathering behaviour makes them more vulnerable.

The Cliffs of Moher are often crowded or in some cases shrouded in fog and clouds. Well, that was exactly the case earlier this day, but fortunately the clouds and crowds cleared late in the day for a gorgeous evening sunset. You can still see the low clouds lingering on the ocean.
When young Cliff Swallows leave their nests they congregate in large groups called creches. A pair of swallows can find its own young in the creche primarily by voice. Cliff Swallows have one of the most variable juvenal plumages, and the distinctive facial markings may help the parents recognize their chicks by sight too.
