Having seen fantastic shots of Gannets and other sea birds at Bempton cliffs RSPB reserve from a number of you Flickerati I decided it was time to visit myself.
Great cliff scenery.
Great seabird sights.
Amazing sounds.
What a smell.
Its a good thing technical wizards have not added smellovision to cameras and computers!

"But is it not enough that you are a semblance,
To celebrate a heart leaking the truth?
Whatever stupidity or your indifference?
Mask or decor, hello! I love your beauty. "
— Charles Baudelaire, in "The Flowers of Evil"
"Mais ne suffit-il pas que tu sois l'apparence,
Pour réjouir un coeur qui fuit la vérité?
Qu'importe ta bêtise ou ton indifférence?
Masque ou décor, salut! J'adore ta beauté."
— Charles Baudelaire, in Fleurs du Mal
This photo was taken in West Ireland, Cliffs of Moher.
I'm finding very difficult to manage photoshop for photo enhancement, but I like the way this turned out.
The beautiful texture gives the final touch to the picture.

Thanks for looking
Stickie is nearly as tall as the cliff which is fitting for this area as the cliffs nearby weren't vey high at all.
These cliffs for the western side of Kalae with is southern tip of the island of Hawaiʻi The name comes from Ka Lae in the Hawaiian language which means "the point” though it is commonly spelled as one word, Kalae. In English it is called South Point or South Cape. It is the southernmost point in the United States. A confluence of ocean currents just offshore makes this a popular fishing spots. Fish such as red snapper and ulua are numerous. Reportedly hawksbill turtles and monk seals frequent the cliffs to fish though I didn’t catch a glimpse of either. What I thought was a seal, at first, turned out to be a scuba diver. I did watch plenty of local Hawaiians fishing, however. A few dangled perilously over the edge of the basalt cliff trying to get to the deep holes.
The current beneath the cliffs is swift and dangerous. The current is called the "Halaea Current", named after a chief who was carried off to his death. Authorities recommend not swimming along the cliffs, though I saw a few folks in bathing suits headed for boulder stern beaches.
Standing on top of these cliffs with wind plucking at your jacket and buffeting your camera, the sounds of seabirds ringing in your ears, is a wonderful experience.

Stargazing at Sunset Cliffs - San Diego, California
Although I've photographed the beach countless times, shooting from the side of the cliffs was an entirely unique experience. Living my entire life in New Jersey, I've grown accustomed to sitting and watching the waves crash one by one along the shore line. Here, I was looking out far in to the ocean and well past where the waves were breaking. Watching as the lined up one by one and listening as they eventually crashed against the rocks below.
Thank you very much for looking!

The colors in the surface of the cliffs contrasted with the ice falls and formations were nothing short of spectacular. It was quite overwhelming as each bend in the shore gave it's own unique beauty. Captivated onlookers try to take it all in. Taken March 9, 2015 in Bayfield County, Wisconsin.

Home again to Oregon but had lovely time in Ireland. Here are a couple shots of the cliffs. More time and I'd have walked further, though the steep parts were scary.
The magnificent cliffs of Kauai are pretty famous, and rightly so. This painting is based on a photo by my daughter [below].
