The sea stack known as 'Dún Briste' was part of the mainland until 1393 when heavy seas severed it from the mainland and the people were taken from it by means of ship's ropes.
According to one legend, a pagan chieftain, named Crom Dubh, lived there. He refused to listen to St. Patrick who tried to convert him to Christianity. St. Patrick hit the ground with his crozier and the stack was separated from the mainland, leaving Crom Dubh to die there.
La dune du Pilat, située en bordure du massif forestier des Landes de Gascogne sur la côte d'Argent à l'entrée du bassin d'Arcachon, est la plus haute dune d’Europe (hauteur en 2018 : 106,6 m).
Située à l'entrée sud du bassin d'Arcachon, elle s'étend sur 616 m d'ouest en est et sur 2,9 km du nord au sud et contient environ 550 millions de mètres cubes de sable, dans la localité de Pyla-sur-Mer qui dépend administrativement de la commune de La Teste-de-Buch, à proximité d'Arcachon, au cœur des Landes de Gascogne.

Dún Aonghasa (Unofficial anglicised version Dun Aengus) is the best-known of several prehistoric hill forts on the Aran Islands of County Galway, Republic of Ireland. It lies on Inis Mór, at the edge of a 100-metre-high (330 ft) cliff.
A popular tourist attraction, Dún Aonghasa is an important archaeological site.
History
It is not known exactly when Dún Aonghasa was built, though it is now thought that most of the structures date from the Bronze Age and Iron Age. T. F. O'Rahilly surmised in what is known as O'Rahilly's historical model that it was built in the 2nd century BC by the Builg following the Laginian conquest of Connacht.Excavations at the site indicate that the first construction goes back to 1100 BC, when rubble was piled against large upright stones to form the first enclosure. Around 500 BC, the triple wall defenses were probably constructed along the fort's western side.
The 19th-century artist George Petrie called "Dún Aonghasa" "the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe". Its name, meaning "Fort of Aonghas", may refer to the pre-Christian god of the same name described in Irish mythology, or the mythical king, Aonghus mac Úmhór. It has thus traditionally been associated with the Fir Bolg.
Form and function
The fort consists of a series of four concentric walls of dry stone construction, built on a high cliff some one hundred metres above the sea. At the time of its construction sea levels were considerably lower and a recent Radio Telefis Eireann documentary estimates that originally it was 1000 metres from the sea. Surviving stonework is four metres wide at some points. The original shape was presumably oval or D-shaped but parts of the cliff and fort have since collapsed into the sea. Outside the third ring of walls lies a defensive system of stone slabs, known as a cheval de frise, planted in an upright position in the ground and still largely well-preserved. These ruins also feature a huge rectangular stone slab, the function of which is unknown. Impressively large among prehistoric ruins, the outermost wall of Dún Aonghasa encloses an area of approximately 6 hectares (14 acres).
Today
The walls of Dún Aonghasa have been rebuilt to a height of 6m and have wall walks, chambers, and flights of stairs. The restoration is easily distinguished from the original construction by the use of mortar.[citation needed]
There is a small museum illustrating the history of the fort and its possible functions. Also in the vicinity is a Neolithic tomb and a small heritage park featuring examples of a traditional thatched cottage and an illegal poteen distillery.
Silver Lake and dunes. Everything seems far away when you're in these dunes and the sand makes hiking a slow and arduous effort... except for today because the dunes are still wet and frozen under the blowing sand making this hike much easier!
Dün sabaha karşı kendimle konuştum
Ben hep kendime çıkan bir yokuştum
Yokuşun başında bir düşman vardı
Onu vurmaya gittim kendimle vuruştum

It is located in La Teste-de-Buch in the Arcachon Bay area, France, 60 km from Bordeaux.
It extends 616 m from west to east and 2.9 km from north to south and contains about 550 million cubic metres of sand.
Its height is currently 110 meters above sea level.

Dun Briste, (The Broken Fort) is a sea stack close to the edge of the cliffs. In 1393 it was separated from the coast as a result of high seas and violent stormy weather.
According to an old local legend, a Druid Chieftain, named Crom Dubh, lived there. He refused to convert to Christianity, Saint Patrick struck the ground with his crozier and the stack was separated from the mainland, leaving Crom Dubh to die on the top.
The start of Stockton Beach. Resorted to google to explain it, being lazy 😉
The Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, in the Worimi Conservation Lands, cover 4,200 hectares, with 32kms of the longest moving sand dunes in the southern hemisphere. These truly awe-inspiring dunes reach heights of over 30 metres forming a majestic, alien-like moonscape - perfect for adventurous spirits, those looking for a cultural experience, nature lovers and even film makers around the globe.
Did some quad bike riding on these majestic and amazing dunes earlier this year, so much fun. And we didn’t get devoured by Sandworms either, stroke of luck 👍😀
Another Butterfly from the Dry Island Buffalo Jump Butterfly Survey I participated in last Sunday. This is one of the most uncommom Butterflies to be observed in Alberta. At one time it was regarded only as a theoretical possibility in Alberta, but based on sporadic sightings in many provincial areas over the last few years, It seems to be slowy expanding its range.
Just like with birds, there are many "Little Brown Job" Butterflies. Best to check them all out closely. Happy to add this first one to my virtual Butterfly Collection.
Kneehill County, Alberta.
