    Three more pictures from Dover. It was a weird day in terms of light, I think. Some pictures have a better daylight quality in them, others are duller. Anyhow, I really enjoyed that day. The fractured landscape is amazing and I managed not to fall over the cliffs!

    It must be quite windy over the white cliffs of Dover. I liked the shape of this little bush. All the vegetation on top the cliffs is combed this way.

    Another picture from my visit to Dover. The views from the edge were amazing. Vertigo inducing. As you can see, the path gets quite close to the fall, and you should watch were you put four feet. At some point there is a way carved in the vertical wall that lets you go down the…

    Today I went to Dover. I spent all the day walking the white cliffs. I took lots of pictures. Most of them of the views from the cliffs, some birds, and a World War 2 beach bunker. Almost at the end of my visit, a couple were walking much faster than me, uphill. I liked the…
