The Cliffs of Moher (/ˈmʌhər/; Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Curren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres (9 miles). At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor 6 km (4 miles) to the south, and Doolin 7 km (4 miles) to the north.(Wikipedia)
On Faraid Head, near Durness in the far north west of Scotland. On a subsequent visit three years ago the stripes were far less prominent.

Srednjevjekovni grad Ozalj građen je na klisuri iznad Kupe, prvi put se spominje 1244. kao slobodni kraljevski grad. Bio je u posjedu obitelj Frankopan od 1398., zatim je prešao u posjed obitelji Zrinski 1550. i ostao njihov do 1671.
The medieval town Ozalj was built on a cliff over the Kupa river and the first mention of it dates from 1244, as a free royal town. The Frankopan family owned it since 1398, then it passed to the Zrinski family in 1550, and it stayed theirs until 1671.

The Cliffs of Moher are often crowded or in some cases shrouded in fog and clouds. Well, that was exactly the case earlier this day, but fortunately the clouds and crowds cleared late in the day for a gorgeous evening sunset. You can still see the low clouds lingering on the ocean.

Morning mist along the steep headlands cliffs of the rugged Big Sur region.
Earlier this week I made a quick trip down the coast to the Big Sur region, getting as far south as Sur Point. This is a short enough drive for me that I can leave home early, photograph all morning, and be home for a late lunch. This time of year there can be great variations in the conditions. Often it is sunny and clear, as it was on this morning, but it can also be foggy. And when a big Pacific front rolls through, watch out! I had sun on this visit. One thing I did not have was the all-too-common summer crowds — unlike those times, a late fall weekday morning is not crowded at all.
The photograph includes a familiar section of the Big Sur coast. It is visible from another well-known icon, though I think I did all that I could do with that famous subject years ago… and now this nearby terrain interests me more. Here the road rises to a high point, and tall cliffs drop abruptly to the ocean from the high bluffs. A bit of fog and mist was softening the light on this morning.

I love the San Juan Mountains when the oaks, willows, aspen and cottonwoods go through their colors. If you zoom in on this shot, you will seen a green aspen clone surrounded by yellow clones.
Looking northeast from Otter Cliffs, Acadia National Park. Beehive on the right, Gorham Mountain on the left, and distant Champlain Mountain in between. Looked for some leading lines among the joints and fractures in the rocks but could not find anything appropriate ... so I guess these are misleading lines.
Click to zoom ... can you find the other photographers in this picture?

Rising 720 feet (214 meters) above the Atlantic and spaning 8 miles along the Wild Atlantic Way in County Clare. I will never tire of photographing these majestic cliffs. BUT sadly I won't be visiting this trip.
Thank you for taking the time to visit I hope you enjoy. :-)

Northern Gannets mate for life. Young birds reach maturity between the ages of four and five. They begin breeding between late February and April. The females lay one single egg at the end of April, and the parents share incubation duties for six weeks. The egg hatches in early June and the chick fledges in late August and through September.

My thanks to everyone who viewed, faved or commented on this photo. It is much appreciated.
I took this image on the baltic-sea near Sassnitz. The image shows the chalk cliffs of Rügen. I used a ND-filter (3). Constructive criticism is welcome.
Situated in County Clare and bordering the Burren Area, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Standing 230 meters above the ground at their highest point and 8km long, the Cliffs boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland. It was near these cliffs that I found the Six- spot Burnet seen in the earlier photos.
