Last weekend I got to do a walk that I've wanted to do for a while. It's easy enough to walk along the top of the cliffs on this stretch of Sussex Coast; but if you co-ordinate carefully with the tide you can walk under the cliffs. We started at the lowest point that you can see off on the left, which is Birling Gap, and walked to Cuckmere Haven. The cliffs are known as the Seven Sisters and are where my picture of the Belle Tout lighthouse was taken. More information here - you can see the entire distance in the picture on the website.

Wow! I sure would love to walk there. What a great perspective of the area. The rocks and the cliffs are gorgeous, not to mention that sky, and the shimmering sea. Excellent in every way, Nigel.

This Image GRABBED my EYE. That's Why I Stopped By.
Thanks For Sharing ! Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience
the low shot is my favorite. it's a fine scene overall. i particularly like the color and detail in the foreground rocks. if i walked there i'd either break the camera or my legs.

Your exercise if quality has been a successful one Sir Nigel. You have taken the obstacles that exist in one's path and turned them into learning stones. There is a lesson in life in this post. Excellent.

I have to move. We do not have nice places like this to walk where I live. Really nice perspective, and a creative alternative to the typical landscape shot. Nice.

A grand scene! I'm a rock person, so I'm enjoying the various rock textures as well as the depth you captured in this rugged scene. I can only imagine how large this coastine is. Beautiful work Nigel.

I so look forward to your posts, Nigel, and this is no exception. Your work just keeps getting better and better! Great detail from the little tidal pools to the great chalk cliffs. This does not look like an easy walk or an easy perspective to achieve, LOL.

Much of the beauty in life is found in people who care.
This is one of your best. Love that perspective. It places me right there on that rocky shore. Keep-pah!

You did a great job on the exposure here nigel. It's difficult not to loose things with a bright sunny day. Good work!

Just a fanstastic view of the cliffs, Nigel. What a wonderful little vacation to these shores. I really like you perspective from close to the earth. I think it accentuates the vastness of the view. Beautiful shot!

Tough conditions to get a balanced exposure, but you pulled it off nicely. As always your images are expansive and full of finely tuned details. I too rather like the low angle you chose and as it adds much to the overall depth. Nice work.

comments/critiques always appreciated
Are you kidding?! This is just as beautiful as Cuckmere Haven. Again your angle is perfect for this scene. The sky is again simply stunning and the way you've composed this scene works so well. The clarity is spot-on and I love the colors and detail in the rocks. Beautiful shot!

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round??
I don't really enjoy walking. But if I had to walk with this view I will walk everyday. This is a very nice clear shot. I love the far back of the pic seems to go on forever. Great shot!

I had to download this, Nigel. This is one of the best of your works. It's gracing my desktop now and in my fave file on my desktop. What a great idea...
Well, done, my friend.

We don’t make art to show someone what something looks like. All this requires is eyes (or a lens). Art is supposed to have meaning, emotion, power, or magic. Alan & Mario "FourThirds"
Oh my. Those are some massive cliffs. The wide angle image with its great depth and composition is a feast for the eyes. How do you get down to the shore? This is exactly the type of image that I would love to take. The color is bold and bright with an amazing depth of field. Very well done.
