Out today with Pauls Pix 53, ianbartlett and ajlelliott for an 11 mile walk from Alfriston, along the River Cuckmere to the coast, and back.
It was a bit windy at times, but there is a storm approaching, so to be expected, but it wasn't that cold.
These cliff swallows are gathering mud for their nests under the Steel bridge in downtown Portland. They swoop down, grab a load in their beaks, then fly back up to place the mud.
South Stack has been a warning beacon for passing ships since it's construction over 200 years ago, cautioning them of the deadly rocks below. The lighthouse helps guide shipping in the busy channel into the Mersey and is a waymark for local seafarers, as well as for coastal traffic crossing the Irish Sea to and from the ports of Holyhead, Dublin and Dun Laoghaire.
An RSPB reserve, Bempton Cliffs, on the Yorkshire Coast attracts half a million seabirds each year to raise their chicks. Other wildlife calls the reserve home too.
Miniatur Cliff at the beach nearby Kijkduin / The Netherlands. At this spot sand coming from the sea bottom was put on the beach to broaden it in order to protect the coast and the city behind it. It is called zandmotor. Experimented with a shallow depth of field and different PoVs to recreate the surreal feeling I had at this spot.
The last day of nice weather. The next day a storm, struggling with heavy rain and terrible wind. The tent did not survive it.
Portrait view of a mountain peak around Thompson Pass in the early morning. I've heard complaints that the 24-105 lense is a little soft all out, but at f8 it seems pretty good to me. Valdez, Alaska, USA, August 2016

This was one of a large flock that decided to stop flying around and sit down right on a path at Summer Lake Wildlife Area (Lake County, OR)
On the southwest corner of the San Joaquin Valley the Temblor Range and the San Emigdio Mountains which are part of the Transverse Range come together forming a rounded “wall” of cliffs and steep slopes. The San Andres fault system passes through this corner “wall”. Eroded Miocene(?) sandstone and conglomerate form cliffs along the Santiago Creek Drainage as part the “wall”. The San Andres fault runs in the drainage between the forested ridge and the barren ridge at the top of the photo. This photo was taken from the road that runs along the rim of the cliffs, Hudson Ranch Road in Los Padres National Forest. At this spot the road follows near the Kern-Ventura County Line. This photo was taken from Ventura County but the cliffs lie in Kern County. The name of the road can be a bit confusing. For years the road was known as Cerro Nordeste Road for the peak just to the south. A few years ago the road name was changed by Kern County to Hudson Ranch Road. The road was not named for one of the famous ranches named Hudson in California but at the request of a resident family.
Kidney Vetch & Thrift (Sea Pink) flowering on the cliff top at Baginbun head. Continuing my 100 Flowers 2017 project
Approach them slowly.
You will be consumed.
Mark your steps and
Mind yourself as you climb.
The wind will bow you.
They will tune you
And you will sing
Low, mournful, aching melodies
Drowning in emotion, come to the edge.
They are not comforting.
This is brutal majesty.
This is where the mighty Atlantic
Explodes into the walls of Ireland.
This is where you will know
You have a soul.
Last week, my last day off before I went back to work, to the beautiful Copper Coast of Waterford, a UNESCO designated area. It was a beautiful sunny day (even though at this moment, I would greet a cloudy rainy day the same) and the colour of the sea and sky were a stunning blue. This was at Annestown Beach and I took the shot from the cliff overlooking it.
I want to thank all those who take the time to comment and fav my images. I would like to respond to each individually but at the moment I cannot but nonetheless, I am deeply appreciative.
Three cliffs bay is a beach at low tide, and a series of beaches at high tide, on the Gower peninsula, South Wales. The bay is named after the three limestone cliffs that surround it; this view is from one of those cliffs.
This is from last year's holiday at the Jurrasic Coast. We stayed very close to those magnificent West Bay cliffs and could spend some beautiful afternoons at the beach. The striation of the cliff is formed by alternating bands of harder and softer rock. There are huge ammonites to be found there, especially after parts of the cliff come down in a landslide.
If you look closely, there are a few people roughly in the centre of the image, that gives you a good sense of the scale of those cliffs.
