I have taken shots of these cliffs many times but I never feel I have exhausted the subject, the light, sky and colours are always slightly different
No one could claim that East Yorkshire is a place to come to see dramatic landscape, it's an area soft rolling hills and flat plains . However where East Yorkshire meets the North Sea for a few miles you have these wonderful chalk cliffs that are full of drama and spectacle .
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
The first of our two days in The Trossachs had been sunny & quite warm with great views of the snow-topped mountains all around. In fact, we had 'climbed' one of them: Beinn Ghlas (1104m).
Day 2 was as different as could be. It was drizzly and cold (3C in the valley) with no views, so little point in going high. Thus we decided on a forest walk: Kirkton Glen above Balquhidder, Rob Roy's burial place.
This, according to the superb Walk Highlands website,
"is a viewpoint which must rank amongst the finest in the country when compared to the minimal effort involved in reaching it. Creag an Tuirc, a grassy knoll atop a crag was the ancient rallying place of Clan MacLaren. It gives superb views over both the village and along Loch Voil."
Ah well!
ps I suppose the effort in reaching the viewpoint is 'minimal' compared to getting to the summit of a 3000ft mountain but it's bloomin' steep!

Chalk streams are rivers that rise from springs in landscapes with chalk bedrock. Since chalk is permeable, water percolates easily through the ground to the water table and chalk streams therefore receive little surface runoff. ... Of the 210 rivers classified as chalk streams globally, 160 are in England

Two pink chalks, the little one leaning against the big one.
Happy Smile on Saturday

Chalk Creek takes its name from the famous Chalk Cliffs on the south side of Mount Princeton (14,196), and the area is also known for its hot springs. The creek feeds a healthy stand of cottonwoods that show off well in fall.
Taken a little earlier in the summer in the South Downs National Park, when there was more sun and less wind. Summers can be very unpredictable in the UK :)

Out today with Pauls Pix 53, ianbartlett and ajlelliott for an 11 mile walk from Alfriston, along the River Cuckmere to the coast, and back.
It was a bit windy at times, but there is a storm approaching, so to be expected, but it wasn't that cold.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
