Bijou de l'extrême Sud de la Corse, magnifiée par l'eau turquoise qui l'entoure tel un écrin recelant tant de trésors, Bonifacio est la commune la plus méridionale de France ...
Protégée par ses hautes falaises, la Citadelle, construite sur un cap calcaire incomparable, domine fièrement la mer où les Bouches de Bonifacio séparent la Corse de la Sardaigne italienne.
Riche d'une histoire qui trouve ses sources à l'époque néolithique, Bonifacio a été le siège d'évènements historiques qui ont marqués profondément la ville par ses édifices religieux, son architecture médiévale, ses constructions militaires, son complexe portuaire.
La maison complètement à droite est celle de l'actrice Marie-Josée Nat, née à Bonifacio.
Jewel of the extreme south of Corsica, magnified by the turquoise water that surrounds such a jewel harboring so many treasures, Bonifacio is the southernmost town in France ...
Protected by high cliffs, the Citadel, built on a unique limestone cap, proudly overlooks the sea where the Straits of Bonifacio separates Corsica from Sardinia Italian.
With a history that has its sources in the Neolithic period, Bonifacio was the site of historical events that have profoundly marked the town by its religious buildings, medieval architecture, its military structures, its port complex.
The house fully right is that of the actress Marie-Josée Nat, born in Bonifacio.
The Cliffs
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top Visitor attractions. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988 and as a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) under the EU Birds Directive in 1989. Included within the designated site are the cliffs, the cliff-top maritime grassland and heath, and a 200 metre zone of open water, directly in front of the cliffs to protect part of the birds' feeding area. The designation covers 200 hectares and highlights the area's importance for wildlife.
A hackneyed view for many, but, not for me - the fall of chalk is reminiscent of the cliff falls local to me at Reculver
Hunstanton is one of a few places on the East coast of the UK were you can get a sunset over the sea. Unfortunately no sunset today but I was rewarded with beautiful light and clouds on the cliffs.
The cliffs of Etretat with the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Garde Etretat and Porte d'Aval on the background.
Beautiful cliffs out of red sandstone. The Colours are very beautiful . This was the first nature thing i was impressed by at my scotland trip
With unstable cliff of vertical drop for few hundred feet, it offers intimidating view of rugged seashore.
“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship.
We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ."
Well, that's nonsense.
You're going to miss life.
You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
From Wikipedia:
"Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. The cliff dwelling and park are in the southwestern corner of Colorado, in the Southwestern United States.
Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE through 1260 CE, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span. The Ancestral Pueblo that constructed this cliff dwelling and the others like it at Mesa Verde were driven to these defensible positions by "increasing competition amidst changing climatic conditions". Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, and while debate remains as to the causes of this, some believe that a series of megadroughts interrupting food production systems is the main cause. Cliff Palace was rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason while out looking for stray cattle."
Finally got my 5 rolls back, most are of my project I'm working on but I have others.
