Golden Hour At Birling Gap

in uk •  6 years ago 


Chalk Cliff Sunset


This photograph was taken at Birling Gap in Sussex last year.

This year it would not be possible to take the same picture as the steps down to the beach have been closed off due to cliff falls.

The whole area was closed for one day a few weeks ago while the Coast Guard rescue helicopter, police, Life Boat Service and Fire and Rescue Service all searched the area to make sure there were no caualities from the cliff fall.

It was caused by the long dry period, followed by a few days of rain and then another long dry period.

Cliff falls are common along this particular bit of the coast but this one was especially severe.

howdy there gillianpearce! absolutely stunning photo! hey is that your dog in the picture too?

Thanks @janton. No that is not my dog. I'm not a big fan of pets of any kind! 😁

what the?? of ANY kind? not even monkeys? monkeys are so cute and they double as your entertainment!

Definitely not monkeys as pets. I don't think that's a good idea at all! They're wild animals. 😱

gillianpearce! hahaha! they're wild animals! ha! spoken like a true Brit! hee!

The whole Birling Gap and Seven Sisters is a lovely walk, as is the colour combination of this photo!

Thank you @livinguktaiwan. We didn't go there so much as we usually do this summer as it was too hot!!! 😂

This must be a lovely place. I like the colors of the stones on the beach and the stones of the cliff.
And those cliff falls are spectacular; just found a short video that shows the actual fall.
I'm sure I wouldn't want to walk there when such a fall happens!!

Thanks for the video @bringolo.

It is not recommended to walk under the cliffs at any time. It's a very interesting beach though. it's always different when you visit. 😊

I am not used to seeing rocky beaches. This photo is stunning.

Really appreciate the white stone, ocean waves and streaks in the sky.

Thanks for stopping by @sumatranate. Glad you enjoyed so much about the photograph. 😊

@gillianpearce, It is a pity that they are a little destroyed. Beautiful scenery in this place. These chalk cliffs give a special look to this coast. You seem to have already shown some of the scenery of these places? I then also liked these watercolor landscapes. Very beautiful sky :)

Such awesome!

Wow, beautiful picture! I like the angle you got it from.. Thanks for sharing it 🙂

Thank you @moderndayhippie. It is a very beautiful place. 😊

What a beautiful shot @gillianpearce. More so, this is a unique photo. Nobody will ever see it in person ever. You captured a unique moment in space and time, very cool. 😊

Thank you @starjewel. Glad you enjoyed it. 😊

Wow... A rough 'beach' but gorgeous all the same... Love the soft sky... :)

thank you @ackhoo. It's an interesting place. 😊

Beautifully taken with stone...something different from sand to define a beach 👌
