I saw spectacular view of the sunset/twilight colors in the distance but it wasn't possible to take a decent shot while driving a winding road until this spot ...
A snapshot which will stay in my memory.

These rock cliffs are the highest in Europe and truly breathtaking. Probably the most impressive sight in Ireland ! The cliffs rise 230 meters from the sea and are 8 km long. One of the most fantastic views in Ireland from the cliffs !

Die Klippen ragen 230 Meter steil aus dem Meer in die Höhe und sind 8 km lang. Von den Felsklippen aus hat man eine der fantastischsten Aussichten in Irland !
View from a small cave of the impressive cliffs of Los Gigantes on Tenerife.
The cliffs are about 450 m high at this point, making them one of the 5 highest cliffs in Europe.
The photo was taken from a tripod with a self-timer held in my left hand.
This is long, but I found it fascinating.
30 million years ago a gigantic caldera was formed by the sudden collapse of overlying rock into an underground reservoir of molten rock. The resulting eruptions produced massive amounts of ash and debris which nearly refilled the depression. These deposits hardened into rock.
About a half million years ago flows of basalt lava poured into this area and capped it off. Over time, erosion by the Crooked River has exposed and sculpted the landscape that you see here. Nice work!

This rather short cliff walk is located at First Summit (2,168 m) right above Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland. It is very stable and not dangerous at all.
First and the cliff walk can best be reached by cable car from Grindelwald. The gondola ride takes 25 minutes and offers spectacular views.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!

Ballintoy is a small village, townland and civil parish in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Ballintoy is not far from Northern Ireland’s UNESCO-listed Giant’s Causeway, a beautiful formation of 40,000 basalt rocks. Equally beautiful is the nearby coastline, a picturesque blend of basalt cliffs, bright green grassy hills, and multicolored blues of the Northern Atlantic waters below.

Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin (nördlich der Klippen) und Liscannor (südlich der Klippen).
Die meist von Pflanzen überwucherten Ruinen eines befestigten Wohnsitzes eines Häuptlings werden in der Provinz Munster, so auch im County Clare, häufig mothar (gesprochen „moher“) genannt. Auf der Klippe nahe Hag’s Head an der Westküste des County Clare stand einst ein solches Steinfort, genannt Moher O’Ruan („O’Ruans zerfallenes Fort“). Diese Landmarke gab den Klippen ihren Namen.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Der O’Brien’s Tower liegt etwa auf der Hälfte der Uferstrecke und entstand 1835 im Auftrag von Sir Cornellius O’Brien als Wachturm. Bei guter Sicht sind von dort aus die Aran Islands und mitunter auch die Galway Bay zu sehen. Jenseits dieser liegen die Maumturk-Berge in Connemara.
Am Kliff leben fast ausschließlich Vögel; eine Zählung ergab 30.000 Tiere in 30 Arten. Die interessantesten sind die atlantischen Papageientaucher, die in großen Kolonien an isolierten Stellen des Kliffs und auf Goat Island leben. Des Weiteren gibt es Falken, Möwen, Krähenscharben, Trottellummen und Alke.

The cliff walk around Ardmore Head takes about an hour to do the loop around the headland and back into the village. After leaving the serene St. Declan's well and hemitage you'll see a wrecked crane from a ship that's now popular with divers, two old lookout posts, an abandoned coast guard station and Fr. O'Donnell's well. Just a few of the sights along the trail plus the beautiful views of Ardmore Bay and along the coast to Youghal and Knockadoon in County Cork. It's a nice way to spend an hour.
I hope you're enjoying the images from my latest trip to Ireland. I'm trying to keep them in order, like a travel blog to give you a sense of taking the trip with me.
Thank you all for your kind comments and favs. Have a terrific Thursday everyone. :-)))
Another shot from around Land's End in Cornwall whilst on my day out with Gregg Cashmore, This is looking East from a little valley of rocks on the cliffside. It was a bit of a scramble down to this point but it was worth it just for the view alone. The Cornish coastline really has some stunning parts to it, if you're ever down this way then it's a great area to walk along the coastal path.
