This image of RSPB Bempton Cliffs was taken in July 2014. I have uploaded it to show those that have never visited Bempton, what the area looks like. There are six viewing platforms along the length of the site and you can see a group of people stood on one of the platforms in the distance. A couple of the platforms are accessible to wheelchair users also. These platforms allow you to get great views of the various sea birds nesting on the sheer cliff faces. A great place to visit if you are ever in the area. There is a visitor centre on site with the usual shop, food and toilet facilities.
Many thanks to all who take the time to view, comment or fav my images.

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.
One from the archives, taken with my first DSLR and a Sigma zoom which was ok at the wide end but very soft on one side when zoomed in.
Alas, my bird identification skills have let me down again. This group of unidentified ducks seen off Red Cliff Point have left me at a loss when it comes to their identification.

The iconic Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most visited natural attractions. Stretching for 8km along the Atlantic Ocean coast, they reach 214m at their highest point.
When young Cliff Swallows leave their nests they congregate in large groups called creches. A pair of swallows can find its own young in the creche primarily by voice. Cliff Swallows have one of the most variable juvenal plumages, and the distinctive facial markings may help the parents recognize their chicks by sight too.
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.
Swallows on the ground, both males and females, typically raise and flutter their wings in an effort to prevent those unwelcome matings. At the same time, their gathering behaviour makes them more vulnerable.

This image of the Yellowstone Lower Falls and Canyon has some strong memories for me.
I had approached the cliff on the left from the backside. I knew it would be one of the highest viewpoints of the canyon and would make for a good pov I couldn't remember seeing before. I wouldn't have approached the edge if it hadn't been firm basalt.
As I crawled to the edge and looked over I was spooked to find that due to the concave nature of the cliff there was nothing below me, but the river. I frequently walk the edge of mountains and cliffs, but that was a bit too scary.
Took a couple shots (in comments) than backed off.
I'll long remember that first look.
Ahh the things we do to get The Shot.
Thanks for your visit!
Bonavista is a town on the Bonavista Peninsula, Newfoundland in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Unlike many Newfoundland coastal settlements, Bonavista was built on an open plain, not in a steep cove. This is a shot at Cape Bonavista.

Newfoundland and Labrador has an area of 405,720 square kilometres. It is more than three times the total area of the Maritime Provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island) and would rank fourth in size behind Alaska, Texas, and California if it were one of the United States.
It's almost one-and-three-quarter times the size of Great Britain. The island of Newfoundland covers an area of 111,390 square kilometres, while Labrador has an area of 294,330 square kilometres.

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.

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.
You have to have a head for heights along this stretch of the coast path. The cliffs are among the highest on the whole path
