Beachy Head

[poliphilo]

I was standing on Beachy Head yesterday, looking out to sea with the sun in my eyes.  It was like looking into another dimension.

I can understand why people take one more step. I could feel the pull.

Oh man, it is so beautiful there.

I walked away in a state of dazzlement.

It's a spot love.

I've walked that coastal footpath so many times! :o)

It's so overwhelmingly beautiful. I'd say "sublime" only that's become a joke word.

First photo: It _was_ like looking into another dimension. I couldn't understand what I was looking at for a second or so.

As much as anything it's the cloud shadows on the water. The brain doesn't immediately know how to interpret them.

I don't know - looks like more of a painful rocky tumble than a comfortable fall into oblivion.

Amazing pictures. I hadn't realised how stunningly beautiful that coast is on a clear day.

I especially love that last photo with the tiny, tiny lighthouse far below. You're a lot braver than I am. Our cliffs are half the height of those and I still couldn't bring myself to go anywhere near that close to the edge.

Well people do it a lot. I think some parts of the cliff are very sheer.

Thanks.

I'm not sure I'd ever been to the top of Beachy Head before. If I ever did it couldn't have been on such luminous day or I'd surely have remembered.

Beautiful! Looks like you had perfect weather, too!

That's all pretty wonderful! Such an evocative spot ...

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Yes, we did- in spite of the forecasters.

[poliphilo.livejournal.com]

Amazing. I wasn't prepared for just how beautiful it would be.

I featured it in my novel and then later went to visit it. I walked all the way up the hill from Eastbourne and decided I'd made a geographical booboo forcing the poor characters to travel that far :)

That's gloriously beautiful!
