I did have a spotter watching the road while shooting this

Sheep on St Abbs cliff top

I'm not one who knows anything about flowers. In fact I dont even know if this is a weed or a flower. Come to think of it, what is the difference. Either way it's certainly colourful and caught my eye when we took last weeks trip to Bempton Cliffs. The field of rape seed behind helps provide some fine contrast.

We picked a great day to do the Ring of Kerry and take a short detour along the Skellig Ring to see the Kerry Cliffs. The sun was shining, and the blues of the water with bright greens just made these views seem otherworldly. The skies were clear enough that you could see the Skellig Islands. One has a monastery dating back to the 6th century and was used to film Luke Skywalker's home in two recent Star Wars movies.

Cliff of Mohers,

Cliff face in Caprock Canyons State Park.

At the West End of Negril, Jamaica, a popular "sport" is cliff diving. My wife and I were vacationing here (for our 1st anniversary) and we were having lunch at our hotel on the cliffs overlooking the sea when some locals began diving off the cliffs.

Of course I left my lunch immediately to climb down to the bottom for a good perspective to take pictures! I got some great pictures, but my lunch got cold.

The spot this guy was diving into only had a 3 meter wide opening between the rocks in the water where he could safely land.

Taken during a full moon near Blacks Beach. One of my earliest on Flickr, but I've never quite reached the same level in Explore.

Bands of Namurian sandstone, siltstone and shale are exposed in a spectacular fashion and were formed over 300 million years ago during the Upper Carboniferous period. The rock layers are rich in fossil formations.

Cliffs near Saint Jean de Luz (Pays Basque - France)

The cliff of Zaro is a beautiful and wild location on the island of Ischia. It is a hard to reach and hidden location, but unique for the peace you can find there.

The other day I found a large flock of Cliff Swallows building nests. Today I got to watch them gather mud for their nests.

I had to use my truck as a blind and waited while they came and left. Just before I moved into place I saw a Merlin take a run at them.

The beaches of Oldshore Beg and Oldshoremore can just be seen in the distance.

We looked out the back of the house this morning and saw it looked like it was going to be a wonderful sunrise.

So, quickly dressed after coffee and a quick drive to the cliff tops, and this was the scene that greeted us.

Standby for more sunrise shots.......

This is the actual point of Flamborough Head.

Another nice sunset from the cliffs.
