Flamborough Head

[Ken Rennie]

Pronounced "Flamburu" with the emphasis on the "a" isn't English strange? Another Yorkshire location Flamborough cliffs are chalk and 400ft high. Lots of photographers taking sea birds and although I tried my 70-200 just didn't get me close enough most had 500mm with 1.4 tele- converter or Fuji 100-400 with tele-coverter. This is a small(ish) chalk sea stack just off the main cliffs and had to descend the 400ft cliffs to get this, I don't really think it was worth it photographically but it was still a good day out and "good" exercise.

Almost surprising that a chalk sea stack is still standing. Isn't that rather soft rock? It does make a fascinating subject. This worked well as a B&W.

Alan you can see that the bottom of the stack is a different rock. Lots of chalk cliffs in England and they do crumble with an occasional unfortunate fatality. The highest chalk cliff is 531 feet and has a lighthouse that has had to be moved because of erosion. https://www.ice.org.uk/what-is-civi...engineers-do/moving-the-belle-tout-lighthouse

Looks like it was worth the effort

I agree with Ben, I think it was worth the effort Ken. This is sure very cool.
