What's special about this place, apart from the view, is that it's man-made. All the land under the cliffs is spoil dug out from under the sea during the creation of the Channel Tunnel. It's near Dover and the cliff is thought to have been Shakespeare's inspiration for a scene in King Lear. This comes with apologies for my reduced contribution on Caedes. I have a new job :-) and a lot less spare time :-(

All the elements seem to come together to make this a great photo - the sky , the hill, path and sheep, not to mention the sea.
Perfect clarity and perspective.

The question is not what you look at, but what you see ~ Marcel Proust
You have come back with a bang. What a great shot. I love the way the water and the cliff comes to a point. Excellent sky, also. Just a fantastic image, Nigel.

This is a Lord of the ring like photo. There seems to be a battle with Orcs about to begin over there. I like the Z composition. The cliff itself is awesome, the cloudy blue sky and the road add a lot. Nicely done!

Viva la vida!
You have become such a master of depth perception. All lines and colors are your tools as your draw our eyes to the spot of your choosing. Nigel, best wishes on the new job, too!

God has created fantastic beauty for us to photograph and fantastic photographers to bring out that beauty in unique ways.
"Buy land, they are not making any more of it." Guess this dispels that saying. Good shot and I like the angle. Information is real good as well Sir Nigel. Good luck with you new employment.

When you're through with life and all hope is lost.
Hold out your hand 'cos friends will be friends - right till the end.
This exact same spot was just featured in one of the UK Photo mags. They had a very interesting write up about it. Good capture.

The lines of the mountains, the clouds, water, walkway, everything, all point to the same vanishing point~ fantastic shot Nigel, what a great eye you have!

Fantastic shot, I love how it's all land pulling the eye away, like we're being dragged along the scenery.

Schizophrenia beats being alone.
Fantastic lines in this one Nigel! - the clouds are mirroring the lines in the landscape which is what makes it an excellent shot!

The truth is, you really should see My Gallery.
Aye, a lot of muck was dug out to make that tunnel...I still got some in me hair after going through on the 'train'!...
