Cliffs of Moher - Ireland

2009.05.10

Note the flat ledge in the middle front of the photo - that's the old viewing spot. Now you're not allowed on it, and they've built a whole series of paths, stairs and viewing points further back the cliff.

Close-up (well, closer anyway!) of the cliffs. You can't tell on PB, but there are white dots all over these cliffs, whereever there's a ledge, there's at least one seabird of some sort on it.

There were constantly birds flying in and out of that cave.

One of the many gulls flying overhead.

And my personal favorite, the warning sign - "Dangerous Cliff Edge". Really??? ;)

Have I said how much I LOVE Ireland??? Yes? Well, it probably won't be the last time. ;)

These are a few of the many photos I took at the Cliffs of Moher, an amazing place where seabirds of all types hang out. Sort of a seabird city, you might say. Truly a fascinating place.

Spectacular views.

Magnificent. But where're the waterfalls, scuba?

I like your quip about the sign... but not quite as funny as the label on my peanut butter jar which states "contains nuts - this product may not be suitable for nut allergy sufferers."

Sometimes you know, you just cannot afford to be vague.
