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.

Steilküste Praia da Falesia
Mit seinen bunten Klippen und dem goldenen Sand ist der Praia da Falesia an der Algarve einer der schönsten und beeindruckendste Strände Portugals.
Die Formen und Farben an dem 6 km langen Sandstrand sind unglaublich. Die leuchtend grünen Pinien auf den Klippen sind ein optisches Highlight .
Valley of the Waters seen from across the Jamison Valley. We usually walk in the mornings so it was nice to see this view in afternoon conditions.
(The title comes from the Princess Bride book - an absolute favourite)
One of those photos in which words hardly can describe the scenery. I called it downward because the plane was turned downward and my camera focused on a cliff with a waterfall. In the backdrop another massive glacier.
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.

Mated pairs of Gannet engage in a “billing” display, a mutual greeting gesture, where the two birds stand breast to breast with their wings spread, and their necks and bills extended vertically, scissoring rapidly with their bills and calling loudly. (Birdlife).

The Sonoma Coast has been putting on a show the past week. Monster waves, high tides and beautiful light has made it special, that's for sure. I've been fortunate enough to get out a couple days and enjoy what the Sonoma Coast has been offering. Every time I go out and photograph on the SC, I find myself taking a moment and feeling extremely grateful to be able to enjoy, photograph and experience this place as much as I'm able to because it's home.
Hringsbjarg Cliff (Öxarfjörður) 20210720
From Hringsbjarg cliff you have a breath-taking view over the mountain range in Öxarfjörður fjord and the black sand beach close by.
This place is the perfect place to stop and stretch your legs, breathe in the fresh sea air and enjoy the view and tranquillity.
At Hringsbjarg cliff is an observation deck as well as tables and information signs.

And some geology students.
The fascinating geological history of Hallett Cove is traced in its dark Pre-Cambrian rocks which were once under a sea that covered a vast area of South Australia 600 million years ago.
About 500 million years ago the region was squeezed by massive earth movements which folded rocks and formed them into mountain ranges. Such folds are clearly seen at the southern foot of Black Cliff and along the wave cut platform to the north.

With its two-metre wingspan, warm yellow head, white body and black wingtips, this impressive bird will be familiar to most birdwatchers.
Even though the Gannet is restricted to a couple of dozen breeding colonies, individuals may be seen anywhere around the UK coast throughout the year. The breeding colonies are noisy, pungent affairs, the birds packed together with each individual just out of beak reach of its neighbours.
After the breeding season, most of our Gannets move to winter in the Bay of Biscay or further south to the coasts of west Africa, with some individuals crossing the Equator. (BTO).
Such a pleasure to watch these beautiful birds and their complete control of the air space they're in. Though they aren't quite so graceful on land.

Nests are made from seaweed, plants, earth and debris from the sea. The males usually collect the materials. Nests are compact cups typically 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height. The area which a nest occupies grows throughout the breeding season as the breeding pairs throw their excrement outside the nest. Over years, nests can reach 2m (6+1⁄2 ft) in height. (Wikipedia).
Gannets arrive on mass to gather nesting material.

Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin und Liscannor.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Am 8. Februar 2007 wurde das Besucherzentrum mit befestigten Gehwegen fertiggestellt. Der etwa 200 Meter lange Teil des Besucherwegs, der sich bis zum O’Brien’s Tower erstreckt, wurde aus Sicherheitsgründen seitlich durch bis zu 1,40 Meter hohe Steinplatten begrenzt, so dass die Besucher nicht mehr direkt bis an das Cliff herantreten können. Seitdem ist die Sicht auf die Klippen eingeschränkt.
The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.[2][3] They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.

Old derelict tin mines with their cliff rocks and rubble were influential in the making of this image - plus a little bit of visual licence :-)
I had taken the day off work to explore the Dart and Teign valleys looking for autumnal leaves. However I couldn't resist rising an hour or so early to perch myself on top of Sharp Tor, overlooking the Dart valley, to see what sunrise had in store.
All tucked in and cozy, this lonely, abandoned homestead has stood the test of time. The stone structure is sheltered from the winds, nestled into this Grand Dike, and is still steadfast and livable with a little TLC.
A distant view of Kenidjack Cliff Castle. A definite return to explore this iron Age Fort and the surounding area! A 204sec exposure with a 3stop med grad and a 10stop ND
