Another shot from Kynance Cove in Cornwall, this time a traditional landscape view of the photo I posted previously. This is such an amazing area, I can't wait to visit there again!

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. :-)))

Bempton Cliffs, on the spectacular Yorkshire coast, is home to one of the UK's top wildlife spectacles. Around half a million seabirds gather here between March and October to raise a family on towering chalk cliffs which overlook the North Sea. RSPB

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.

Just cuz I like it. I think this was shot in La Jolla, California.

I spotted this cliff scene near Bonavista in June 2008. I found the cliff formations interesting.

Old Harry Rocks are three chalk formations, including a stack and a stump, located at Handfast Point, on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset, southern England. They mark the most eastern point of the Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.

Walking along West Cliff Drive on a cloudy day in Santa Cruz, California. Just looking for some photons to capture.

Another of my dawn excursions to the cliffs of the Cornish Coast. Sadly the sun didn't manage to pierce the clouds on this morning and the clifftops were shrouded in a drizzle as I made my way by head torch along the SW Coastal path.

I found this spot by an old Second World War Coastal Defence bunker. It meant stumbling down a heather clad slope to get this view of the headland of Treryn Dinas in the distance. Even with the lack of colour in the sky, the setting was spectacular. This stretch of coastline is beautiful in any light.

This image shows how unstable the cliffs are. They are changing, shrinking constantly. At any given time, parts of these cliffs could fall away.

It is not me up there, just another admirer of the breathtaking view.
