Cliffs in Etretat lit by the light of the late afternoon in Normandy, France.
The cliffs at Hunstanton, Norfolk are famous for their colour bands.
The lowest dark brown layer was laid down in warm shallow seas 70 million years ago. It is 'carstone' made of sand and iron compounds. Local builders use it. The younger much thinner 'red rock' layer above it is chalk coloured with iron pigments. Above that is a thick layer of white chalk.
All contain fossils but frequent rock falls make it dangerous to be too close.
While waiting for the sun to set, we hiked on top of this limestone cliff where I captured Finding Fayette: A Ghost Town in the UP Michigan from an overlook directly across from the townsite.
**********
"This limestone cliff consists of vertical or near-vertical exposures of bedrock.
Like all of Michigan’s lakeshore cliffs, vegetation cover is sparse but abundant cracks and crevices combined with calcareous conditions result in greater plant diversity and coverage than on most other cliff types. "

I hope you find this interesting, thank you for your visit!

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.

Sea Cliff Bridge
The beautiful sea cliff bridge shortly after the sun had pierced the horizon for the morning.
If you look carefully you can see a morning runner starting their day with a run in this beautiful part of the NSW coast line.
