Here is another coastal shot from Sunset Cliffs. I know the color may seem extreme, but I was trying to go for a dreamier painting like feel on this one. The light was very interesting as the bank of fog sat off the coast and diffused the light. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
The base of Bempton cliffs at the end of Filey bay. You can just make out lots of Gannets flying around the cliffs.
Looking north east...

All tucked in and cozy, this lonely, abandoned homestead has stood the test of time. The stone structure is sheltered from the winds, nestled into this Grand Dike, and is still steadfast and livable with a little TLC.

RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
Nests are made from seaweed, plants, earth and debris from the sea. The males usually collect the materials. Nests are compact cups typically 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height. The area which a nest occupies grows throughout the breeding season as the breeding pairs throw their excrement outside the nest. Over years, nests can reach 2m (6+1⁄2 ft) in height. (Wikipedia).
Gannets arrive on mass to gather nesting material.
My thanks to everyone who viewed, faved or commented on this photo. It is much appreciated.
Impresionantes siempre mis paseos por los acantilados del parque Natural de la Sierra Helada.

The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway / Rheilffordd y Graig opened on 1 August 1896. It is a 778 feet (237 m) long funicular railway in Aberystwyth and is the second longest funicular railway in the British Isles, after the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Since November 1987, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has been a Grade II listed structure.
The Cliff Railway was developed as an element of Constitution Hill, a Victorian business venture by the Aberystwyth Improvement Company in the 1890s. The funicular took visitors to the top of the hill, where attractions such as a camera obscura were established. The cliff railway was originally a water balance system, but it was electrified during 1921
The cliff railway was originally a cable-drawn balanced system moving a pair of cars, with a maximum capacity of 30 passengers, permanently connected via a continuous cable.[1] When opened, it operated using a water balance system, which used a Worthington Corporation compound steam engine water pump housed in the lower station to move water to the upper station. Each passenger car had a tank in their chassis that could hold 4 tonnes of water. Water was added to the tank of the top car, which descended under gravity, hauling the lighter lower car on the parallel track to the top station.
The railway is straight, ascending about 430 feet (130 m) over a horizontal distance of 778 feet (237 m), a maximum gradient of more than 1:2 (50 per cent). The gauge is 4 ft 8 in (1,422 mm), slightly narrower than standard gauge, and laid on timber sleepers.
In 1921, the railway was electrified using a 41 kW ATB AG [de] Morley DC motor. In 1934, after changes to the town’s electricity supply, a mercury arc rectifier and transformer were installed in the lower station to provide a 440V DC power output. The cars are moved using a high-tensile steel cable attached to both vehicles. It passes around a drum, mounted on a vertical axis between the tracks at the top. The motor drives the drum controlled by an automated cut-off which stops the motor and the cars when required.
An eastbound Santa Fe manifest, led by a GP30 and a half-dozen GP35’s, passes two Southern Pacific SD9’s on a work train at Cliff. Caliente is visible over the cab of the lead unit. All of the GP30’s and GP35’s running on the Santa Fe at that time took me back to my days watching the Reading Company a decade earlier. Those two models were the backbone of the Reading’s second-generation road power. I checked an old calendar, and this was taken on a Thursday.
The sun is shining but the sky is mainly gray on this stormy day without much rain near Point Bonita at the entrance to San Francisco Bay. Note the broken piers where lifeboats used to be launched to save ships in trouble.

The Cliffs of Moher (Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres. At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, eight kilometres 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 Liscannor (6 km south) and Doolin (7 km north).
From the cliffs, and from atop the tower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south. The cliffs rank among the most visited tourist sites in Ireland, with around 1.5 million visits per annum.

During my stay in Dublin I decided to visit the famous Cliffs of Moher.
After taking some shots during sunset at the coast, I decided to not end my photo session and to wait a bit longer for the tourists to leave the location.
I then took the advantage to make further photos during the blue hour, that was revealing these scary and disturbing yet fascinating and majestic cliffs.

Set of for a 2 hour drive for sunset to Hunstanton as this cliff is something i wanted to capture for a while. My research was way off as i wanted the sunlight to hit the Cliff. However i managed to grab this but still need to learn more about editing to get the image how i imagined it would have looked.. Work in progress
