The image depicts a picturesque coastal scene featuring towering white cliffs beside turquoise waters. These are likely the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, known for their dramatic presence and historical significance as a maritime landmark in England. The cliffs' rugged textures contrast with the smooth surface of the sea below.

In the foreground, there's a stretch of beach or rocky shoreline where individuals can be seen enjoying leisurely activities near the water. Several large boulders are scattered across the calm waters at the bottom left corner, adding to the naturalistic aesthetic.

On top of the cliffs, structures like railings and buildings suggest human habitation and use, possibly for observation or as part of a military installation given their strategic positioning along coastlines historically significant during conflicts. The sky is partly cloudy with hints of greenish-yellow hues that blend into a pale blue gradient in the distance.

The overall coloration has an aged appearance reminiscent of old photographs, likely from late 19th to early 20th century judging by its style and quality which suggest it could be a postcard or print.

Stretching along the southeastern coast of England, the White Cliffs of Dover rise dramatically above the deep blue waters of the English Channel, offering some of the most iconic coastal views in the country. Part of a National Trust property, the area is a haven for cliffside walks where visitors can enjoy sweeping panoramas and spot ferries gliding toward mainland Europe. Rolling green fields meet the stark white chalk cliffs, creating a striking contrast perfect for nature photography. The locale’s windswept paths and open landscapes make it a favorite destination for those seeking the serenity and beauty of #WhiteCliffsOfDover #EnglishChannel #CoastalViews #NaturePhotography #CliffsideWalks.

A steep white cliff edge meets the calm blue sea under a clear sky, with rolling green fields stretching inland. Dirt paths weave through the grassy slopes, connecting small bushes and patches of open land. The terrain transitions from vibrant green to a brown, more barren section further back. A few wooden fences and a gravel path line the foreground, where a small white structure sits near the cliff’s edge. The ocean extends to the horizon, where faint outlines of distant vessels dot the water.

"Good bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart is the memory and there you will always be."

(Walt Disney)

My last "Goodbye" to lovely Kent and the Seven Sisters back in 2018 - time to finally come back, this has long been overdue!

Sunset over a calm sea with golden light reflecting on the water. In the background, hilly terrain with low-lying buildings and a few visible antennas silhouetted against the dimming sky.

"The sea did what it liked, and what it liked was destruction.
It thundered at the town, and thundered at the cliffs,
and brought the coast down, madly."

Lush green hillside slopes down to a chalky white cliff overlooking a calm azure sea. Wildflowers and shrubs dot the foreground under a clear sky, enhancing a serene coastal landscape.

Tomorrow, just you wait and see.

Lush green hillside with a winding footpath leading down to a white chalk cliff edge overlooking a clear blue sea. The coastline is adorned with rocky beach below, under a mostly clear sky with faint trails of clouds. Grazing sheep are visible on the distant hilltops.

On the first day of our short stay in Kent based in Margate in 2014 we headed down the coast to Dover which neither of us had been to before. It had rained early when we'd visited Dover Castle and fended off the hundred or so attempts to get us to join English Heritage but for our walk along the famous White Cliffs we had sunshine and a stiff breeze. We were also close enough to France to not only see it but to have our phones keep switching between UK and French providers.

We're on high cliffs, looking along the clifftop with the sea to our right. The path is well worn and set within a narrow boundary of short, pale grass with some dry bushes around. The land rises quickly to the left forming another clifftop set back from the edge ahead and to the left. On the right side the cliff drops to another wide ledge of more grassy land atop a sheer cliff of white chalk. It's then dozens of metres to the sea's surface which appears nearly flat from this distance. It's a bright day with lots of blue sky and little cloud, although some is covering the sun just now, and it feels exposed and windy here.

Seeing this coast explains what Kevin Costner's role of Robin Hood must have felt when returning to England from Outremer in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves".

Сообщаю вам, что меловые скалы с французской стороны Ла-Манша совсем не такие белые, как с английской стороны, в Кенте.
Но тоже красиво.
