Cliffs of Moher 8 Photo

Photographer’s Note

Situated in County Clare and bordering the Burren Area, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's most spectacular sights. Standing 230 metres above the ground at their highest point and 8km long, the Cliffs boast one of the most amazing views in Ireland. On a clear day, the Aran Islands are visible in Galway Bay as well as the valleys and hills of Connemara.
To the south of the cliffs is Hag's Head and the cliffs reach their highest point just north of O' Brien's Tower. The Tower was built by Cornelius O' Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, to impress female visitors. The seastack, Breanan Mór, stands over 70 metres above the foaming waves. You are advised to dress warmly when visiting the cliffs because of the cool Atlantic winds blowing in off the ocean.

Hello Thierry,

A rugged and exciting scenery, perfectly captured for our enjoyment!
The land is nicely anchored on the bottom l/h corner giving a good feeling of depth to the rest of the shot.
Good details and natural colours throughout.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Ciao Thierry,
a postcard, but what a postacrd! and what a place!
Beautiful composition with the grass and flowers in the foreground to give depth to the whole scene and the white clouds to close the frame at the top!
Maybe it's a little too clear, but however I like it!

Salut THierry,
pas façile d'avoir une bonne expo sur ces falaises très sombres et un ciel très lumineux. Ici c'est impeccable. J'aime bien le petit bout de terre au premier plan, ça amène de la profondeur. Bien joué!

Bonsoir Thierry,
Belle vue de ces fameuses falaises sous un soleil qui fait bien ressortir les couleurs de la roche. Un beau point de vue avec un petit pan de falaise au premier plan qui donne de la profondeur à l'image. Une vue assez classique de cet endroit, mais tu avais la lumière qu'il faut (je suis passé 2 fois sur ces falaises, pas un rayon de soleil ...)
Amicalement,
Olivier

Seulement 8pts pour cette vue que je trouve pourtant très bien réalisée dans un cadre superbe...Ca mérite bien mes 2pts!

I envy you this weather and good image quality. If it was a postcard, I'd have bought it :-)
