England / East Sussex - Seven Sisters
Went Hill BrowThe Seven Sisters is a series of chalk cliffs by the English Channel. They form part of the South Downs in East Sussex, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne in southern England. They are within the South Downs National Park which is bounded by the coast, the Cuckmere and the A259 road. They are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs, which are gradually being eroded by the sea.From west to east, the sequence starts just east of Cuckmere Haven. The cliff peaks and the dips between them are individually named. Listed below, the peaks are in italics. There are seven hills, with an eighth one being created by the erosion of the sea.H a v e n B r o w

W e n t H i l l B r o wJust east of the last peak is Birling Gap. Beyond, on the top of the next hill, is Belle Tout lighthouse and beyond that Beachy Head. A lighthouse in the sea marks the latter headland.The South Downs Way runs along the edge of the cliffs, taking a very undulating course. Many landmarks around the area are named after the cliffs, including the Seven Sisters Sheep Centre.The Seven Sisters cliffs are occasionally used in filmmaking and television production as a stand-in for the more famous White Cliffs of Dover, since they are relatively free of anachronistic modern development and are also allowed to erode naturally. As a result, the Seven Sisters and Beachy Head remain a bright white colour, whereas the White Cliffs of Dover are protected due to the important port and are therefore increasingly covered in vegetation and are greening as a result. They are also featured at the beginning of the film Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, and at the end of the film Atonement where Robbie and Cecilia always wanted to live.Much of the 2015 movie Mr. Holmes was filmed around the Seven Sisters.An east-facing photo of the Seven Sisters is included as one of the default landscape wallpapers packaged with Microsoft Windows 7.(Wikipedia)Als die Sieben Schwestern (englisch Seven Sisters) wird die Kliffküste, die zwischen Eastbourne und Seaford gelegen ist, bezeichnet. Sie sind die eindrucksvollsten Klippen der South Downs in Sussex im Süden Englands. Bei den Seven Sisters handelt es sich um eine Kette aufeinander folgender Kreidefelsen der Küstenlinie. Da es sich um acht Kuppen und sieben Senken handelt, ist strittig, ob sich der Name auf die Kuppen oder die Senken bezieht. Laut einer Ausstellung im Besucherzentrum des National Trust bei Birling Gap ist die Bezeichnung Seven Sisters um 1600 entstanden. Erst danach hat sich durch die kontinuierliche Erosion eine weitere Klippe, die achte Schwester, gebildet. Die historische Bezeichnung ist jedoch erhalten geblieben.Von Westen nach Osten, beginnend östlich von Cuckmere Haven, tragen sie die folgenden Namen, wobei die Täler dazwischen auch noch individuelle Bezeichnungen führen.H a v e n B r o w

W e n t H i l l B r o wÖstlich des letzten Felsens befindet sich das Dorf Birling Gap, das stark von der Erosion bedroht ist. Hier ist über eine vorgesetzte Treppe der Zugang zum Strand möglich. Dahinter findet sich dann der bereits landeinwärts versetzte Leuchtturm Belle Tout und anschließend der höchste Kreidefelsen in Großbritannien, der Beachy Head (162 m. hoch), unterhalb dessen ein Leuchtturm (44 m) steht.(Wikipedia)

'Lie where the light foam of the sea may beat thy gravestone daily' - Timon of Athens
In my 40 years living in Gress, this is the first time I have seen so much of the Glenesk wreck exposed. Normally, you are lucky to see one or two of the ribs near the rusting boiler The recent storms have exposed almost the whole outline of the old herring drifter. As I stood and studied it, I thought of all the stories these timbers held; of the men who sailed in her, the engineer who fed that boiler, I could almost hear their ghosts laughing and joking the way seamen do when they are working a boat. Now she is just a skeleton. She would have proudly sailed out of the Clyde and up and down the west coast in her day, and now...now she is a long, long way from home, giving up her secrets in her own time. But she still has life in her. That boiler? It's an ecosystem in its own right now, with mussels, winkles, barnacles, algaes growing over it, and if you peer into it as the tide recedes, you'll see baby crabs, little flounders and gurnards all existing in their own little nursery.The Glenesk is as much a part of the village of Gress where I live as the people who live and have lived in it.
Hook Island - Beach at Resort Area
The only habitation on Hook Island is the Hook Island Wilderness Resort which formerly offered the most affordable on-land accommodation in the Whitsunday group before its closure. The modest and now dilapidated buildings are only occupied by permanent caretaking and security staff and visitors are only permitted on the beach as far as the high water mark.
