Not the first time I have posted a shot of the bay at Flamborough but its white cliffs always attract my camera, and will no doubt do so again
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT HAVE A GREAT DAY
Few places in Shetland can rival Eshaness, where the full Atlantic fury has shaped some of Shetland's most dramatic cliff scenery. What a beautiful and wild place this was, can't wait to return.
Juniper, Sandstone Cliff. © Copyright 2012 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
An old juniper tree growing at the base of a sandstone cliff, Capitol Reef National Park.
As I recall it now, quite a few years later, this tree stands on a rise at the base of a large section of sandstone cliff in a place where a canyon makes a sharp bend. It is not a particularly remote or obscure spot, but the cliff is remarkable in terms of the late-day lighting and the patterns on the surface of the rock. The lighting was special — and challenging! — because the section of the canyon is aligned such that little direct light gets there. This means that much of the light is either from the very blue sky or reflected from very red cliffs, creating some almost otherworldly color effects.
My recollection is also that I found it a little complicated to get the compositions I was looking for here. I remember it as one of those places that is remarkable but which doesn’t necessarily present easy photographs. My archive of raw files supports this — I see a variety of different attempts at the subject, and each of them grappled with issues of juxtaposition and with objects that interfered with the composition. In fact, this version of the scene works because I found a different approach to cropping it that managed to eliminate one of this distractions.

Going from Paltsi to Mortia (a difficult but beautiful route), you can see the steep cliffs of South Pelion and the Cape of Sipiada. On our left we see part of the island of Skiathos (Banana beach), while in the background we can see the mountains of Euboea.

You can see the Balcón de Europa from the top of the rocky coast of Carabeo Beach. This beach is kind of hidden from view because of the cliffs that surround it, but you can easily find it walking down Calle Carabeo from the center of Nerja. To access the beach you will need to use a set of very steep steps to walk down into this cove surrounded by massive rocks on both sides.

South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
"Consequently, it followed logically that telling lies could not be sins. The chaplain had mastered, in a moment of divine intuition, the handy technique of protective rationalisation, and he was exhilarated by his discovery. It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honour, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

This was not the midnight sun but was shot on the longest day of the year looking down the coast from Bempton towards Bridlington. I liked the light on the cliffs
I noticed I even got a fence in the shot
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH
The cliffs of Hawsker, Whitby, Yorkshire, UK.
The people on the cliff show the scale of the sheer drop to the bottom of the cliff.
Smoke haze from the recent Langdale Moor fire still hang over the cliffs.

Made with DJI Mavic Air during my first fly over the sea. It is tempting to fly farther and see more.
Sunset light make cliff looking much better than during day but picture is also "touched with Lightroom". For me the most interesting part are stones in the water. What do you think?

On the day I was there the nests needed a lot more work. But I have seen them replace completely destroyed nests in a couple days.
A section of the Filey cliffs glow in the late afternoon sun. Filey Brigg to the north of Filey Bay is a site of Special Scientific Interest and a local Nature Reserve. Filey is on the Jurassic Coast, a period of about 150 million years ago when the hard rocks were laid down and the Brigg and Carr Naze were built up by layers of material over the following millennia. The Brigg consists of the hard rocks jutting out to sea in the form of a peninsula topped by the "Boulder Clay" cliffs known as Carr Naze.
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.
