Mind the Gap

This is the Northeastern Corner of the British Isles at Duncansby Head, and this is Geo of Sclaites, a vast crevice in the cliffs which are around 64 meters high and provide nest sites for many birds, Including, Puffins, Guillemots, Razorbills, kittiwakes, Fulmars and many Gulls.
The water is the Pentland Firth.

A large view may be beneficial

The folk on the cliff top are possibly a little careless, so another tenuous link from Man Overboard,

HFF and a good weekend.

Super shot of course, Roger and love the musical link. The best ever buskers I ever saw performed this or somethng very similar in Madrid one Christmastime and the instruments and line up seemed so similar to this that I wonder if in fact it could have been them, but I guess not! Anyway my Madrid lot attracted a large and happy crowd who were contributing handsomely and so there would have been enough dosh to support such a large band!

Nice comments Andy many thanks, Street musicians locally are of poor quality but Man Overboard are a quality outfit and always worth a listen.

Doug Shepherd ^club

Terrific view Roger! When enlarged even quite scary as if you are right on the edge of the grass clifftop. The level of detail in the rock strata and the colours of same is excellent as is the perspective of the view out to sea through the gap between the cliffs. The figures either side of the gap give a good sense of the scale of the scene.

Enjoy your evening, Doug
