Days like these, once you've started walking, you feel like you never want to stop.
Not enough hours spent in such places for me this week, but the longer days and our early blast of Summer sun make it all feel possible. There have been some gorgeously still mornings on the beach here in town, the kind of mornings where there's no horizon visible.
These shots were taken a few miles along the coast from here, from Seaford Head which is separated from that line of Seven Sisters by the River Cuckmere. Amazing that I caught that first view looking East how I like it best - with no-one else there!!
This next one, looking down and West, changes with every season as erosion bites in. I wish I'd taken a shot of the same view every time to compare. That lone stack left on the beach diminishes each time I go there. But now I've taken the shot it makes me go a bit funny as I hadn't noticed those two people standing right at the edge!!

They really are standing on the edge of infinity, those two. Great capture- the water and the sky call so loudly; a person really could just keep on walking forever on days like these.
wow! these photos are breathtaking! and those two people on the edge?, yikes! xo
I feel a bit wobbly myself thinking of those people standing near the edge..... Otherwise a beautiful view!
Hi Titanium. Thanks. The sea was just gorgeous that day, almost tempted me to have a paddle. Wonder if they were fully aware of the drop right in front of them?!!
Hi Jeane. Thanks. It's a very precious and gorgeous spot in this crowded corner of the UK. Very dramatic, but like you, I wish it didn't have that yikes factor!! Ax
Hi Robyn. I was so busy capturing the stack that I didn't see them!! Guess I was pretty close to the edge myself, though. Yes, stunning views there.
Breathtaking views Annie...those images are powerful and so beautiful! Thanks for sharing them!
It really took me awhile but I do see these two...so small next to these beautiful shapes and colors. What a walk!
I love those seven sisters - stunning; and then to be up close with the cliffs, and knowing they move, change, subside and disappear with each week. A testament to memory. My heart fluttered a bit with those two - but I'm sure they made their way home safely. Big blue sky too!
Hi Patti. Thanks. Pleased you liked seeing the views from all the way over there.
Hi Mary Ann. Yes, they look so small against the cliffs, no wonder I missed them. This is about the wildest landscape around here, so it's always special to walk there.
Hi Fiona. It's a great name they have, isn't it! Sometimes, the updraught from the cliffs "snows" chalk fragments on you as you walk past, so you can't forget about them shifting and changing the whole time. Yes, those 2 must have lived to tell the tale!! Big blue skies all round lately, as you know.
So envious. Its been so long since I have walked these paths and I sometimes ache for them. It's like walking the roof of the world.
Hi Martin. Thanks for reading. It's fabulous walking country and I'm sorry I can't magic you to be there right away!
Awesome...love the cliff shot. Reminds me a lot of NZ.
Hi Lisa. Thanks. Pleased you liked the cliffs. Haven't been there for a few weeks. Been too windy for that sort of venture!!
