[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken late afternoon on a holiday weekend. The sun was strong and this reflected off the chalk cliffs. The sky was a vivid blue - not often seen!

Birling Gap is a small hamlet near Eastbourne, East Sussex owned by the National Trust. There are steps down to the beach with fine views of the famous Seven Sisters in one direction and Beachy Head in the other.

The chalky cliffs of the Seven Sisters developed under the sea, 70 to 100 million years ago. Later the chalk cliffs dipped beneath the sea again and came up covered in silt and sand, still visible as the top layer.

**I have added a workshop that shows the cliffs in the opposite direction and in landscape format to show the scale.**

I like this picture. The cliffs are very impressive. But have you taken an landscape format instead of the portrait format? I do not know the place and perhaps it is not possible.
In any case it is good Garry.

Great sense of scale with strong colours.
