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)
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.
Fast flowing trails on the river Lyne at cliff bridge, still remnants of previous flooding trapped on one of the piers.
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.
So the other week i decided to walk from cow gap to birling gap. Was such a nice walk walk but very worrying, every so often you would hear tiny parts of cahlk falling from the cliffs but i did manage to capture a few images on my way round.

The Ta' Ċenċ Cliffs, also known as Sanap Cliffs, form a 20 ha linear strip of cliffed coastline in Sannat, on the southern coast of the island of Gozo, Malta, in the Mediterranean Sea. The area consists of garrigue and steep and rugged cliffs, which rise from sea level to a height of 120 m.
The cliffs are identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because they support 800–1000 breeding pairs of Cory's shearwaters and 150–300 pairs of yelkouan shearwaters.

Clouds with lenticular shapes floating above the cliffs of the Grand Escarpment. The setting sun is lighting the fluted edges of Moenkopi sandstone that was laid down 240 million years ago during the early Triassic.

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.

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.
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.

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.
This image of the Yellowstone Lower Falls and Canyon has some strong memories for me.
I had approached the cliff on the left from the backside. I knew it would be one of the highest viewpoints of the canyon and would make for a good pov I couldn't remember seeing before. I wouldn't have approached the edge if it hadn't been firm basalt.
As I crawled to the edge and looked over I was spooked to find that due to the concave nature of the cliff there was nothing below me, but the river. I frequently walk the edge of mountains and cliffs, but that was a bit too scary.
Took a couple shots (in comments) than backed off.
I'll long remember that first look.
Ahh the things we do to get The Shot.
Thanks for your visit!
