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.

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.
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.
Red squirrels are pretty smart! They know exactly who is carrying a Cliff Bar. This little guy came racing up the trail to meet us and followed right out onto the shore ice, well away from any cover of the trees. At one point Lynn lost sight of him and he'd climbed up on top of her backpack. He or she must have been pretty hungry.

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.
