The Cliffs of Moher III Photo

Photographer’s Note

The site of the Cliffs of Moher, one of the most spectacular sites in Ireland. They're located at the southwestern edge of the Burren in County Clare. The cliffs rise above the sea ranging from about 400 to more than 700 feet. On a clear day the Aran Islands in Galway are visible, as are the valleys and hills of Connemara. The cliffs consist mostly of shale and sandstone. The oldest layers are probably 300 million years old. The famous Atlantic Puffins, the penguin-like birds with colorful beaks live in large colonies at isolated parts of the cliffs.

Hi Terez,

Nice composition and unbelievably nice weather, you were lucky, I had a mist when I was there.
The yellow fragile flowers in the foreground underline the size of the cliffs (only one thing = I am really persuaded that they are formed of a limestone and not the sandstone ;-))

Best regards
Romana
