Madeira
This was the spot the tour guide decided to park when i took the previous photo. Nearly crapped my shorts thinking we were going over the edge! I don't think the top down shot does the 100 metres high cliffs justice, nice to get a shot of the Landrover though
Wir befinden uns hier an den berühmten Cliffs of Moher (Aillte an Mhothair) an der Westküste Irlands. Irland ist bekannt für seine saftigen, grünen Wiesen. Diese aber brechen hier aber in einer nahezu senkrechten, schroffen Felswand ab. Rund 150 m tiefer tobt der Atlantik. Die Wellen erreichen hier schon mal 10 m Höhe und, klatschen sie an den Fels, spritzt das Wasser bald 30 m hoch. Ein atemberaubendes (auch lautes) Schauspiel !! Baden is hier nich 😁.

Some rocks at the West Port in Dubrovnik, Croatia. Some of you may recognize the place from Game of Thrones.
Few places in Shetland can rival Eshaness, where the full Atlantic fury has shaped some of Shetland's most dramatic cliff scenery. What a beautiful and wild place this was, can't wait to return.
Going from Paltsi to Mortia (a difficult but beautiful route), you can see the steep cliffs of South Pelion and the Cape of Sipiada. On our left we see part of the island of Skiathos (Banana beach), while in the background we can see the mountains of Euboea.

You can see the Balcón de Europa from the top of the rocky coast of Carabeo Beach. This beach is kind of hidden from view because of the cliffs that surround it, but you can easily find it walking down Calle Carabeo from the center of Nerja. To access the beach you will need to use a set of very steep steps to walk down into this cove surrounded by massive rocks on both sides.

South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
RSPB Bempton Cliffs.
Northern Gannets inhabit the North Atlantic, breeding on rocky cliffs and islands along the coasts of Eastern Canada, Greenland, Iceland, and Western Europe.
They are particularly numerous around the British Isles, with significant colonies in Scotland. A visit to reserves like Bempton Cliffs in the northeast of England, Troup Head in Scotland or, for the more adventurous, Noup Cliffs in Orkney is recommended.
During non-breeding seasons, they disperse widely across the North Atlantic and into the Mediterranean, with some individuals reaching West Africa. In North America, they can be seen along the eastern seaboard.
Gannets can be seen off the east coast of the USA from the New England coast all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. (Bird Fact).
The heading is from “The Jungle Book”. The vultures near the end of the Disney cartoon/movie, which at the time (1967) paid homage to “The Beatles”. I know these aren’t Vultures, the photo just reminded me of them!
All comments and favs are much appreciated.
"Consequently, it followed logically that telling lies could not be sins. The chaplain had mastered, in a moment of divine intuition, the handy technique of protective rationalisation, and he was exhilarated by his discovery. It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honour, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
Joseph Heller Catch 22 Chapter 34
He could have been describing the Idiot in Chief
This was not the midnight sun but was shot on the longest day of the year looking down the coast from Bempton towards Bridlington. I liked the light on the cliffs
I noticed I even got a fence in the shot
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH

A photographic cliché, but still gorgeous enough to take your breath away. Its tough to appreciate the scale, until you realize that the tiny specks on top of the cliffs are people.
The cliffs of Hawsker, Whitby, Yorkshire, UK.
The people on the cliff show the scale of the sheer drop to the bottom of the cliff.
Smoke haze from the recent Langdale Moor fire still hang over the cliffs.

On the day I was there the nests needed a lot more work. But I have seen them replace completely destroyed nests in a couple days.
Subject of many Thomas Moran paintings are the cliffs along the Green River in southern Wyoming. This historic waterway served as a travel route for some of the first white Europeans and is flanked on the south bank by the Transcontinental Railroad that linked the American empire east to west in 1869. If this place could talk.
