VUE DES FALAISES

Les Falaises de Moher sont un site incontournable de l'Irlande. Elles dominent la mer de 200m sur 8km de façade. Ici c'est une vue de la mer et au loin du Connemara, si on prête attention on peut y voir la fumée d'un incendie. J'ai aimé les tons de l'eau sous ce ciel aux très beaux nuages. Le sombre sur la mer est une ombre de nuages. Le léger tilt n'est que de 0.48° mais il semble plus important à cause des îles sur la gauche.

VIEW of CLIFS OF MOHER

"The Cliffs of Moher (Irish: Aillte an Mhothair, lit. cliffs of the ruin, also known as the Cliffs of Mohair) are located in the parish of Liscannor at the south-western edge of the Burren area near Doolin, which is located in County Clare, Ireland.
The cliffs rise 120 meters (394 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 meters (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres away. The cliffs boast one of Ireland's most spectacular views.[3] On a clear day the Aran Islands are visible in Galway Bay, as are the valleys and hills of Connemara.
O'Brien's Tower is a round stone tower at the approximate midpoint of the cliffs. It was built by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, a descendant of Ireland's High King Brian Boru, in order to impress female visitors.[4] From atop that watchtower, one can view the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, the Maum Turk Mountains and the Twelve Pins to the north in Connemara, and Loop Head to the south."
