A bit of rugged coastline this morning. I love chalk cliffs. Something to do with the vertiginous nature of them, and the fact that they have a propensity to suddenly collapse on to the beach below. These are particularly spectacular, but I don't think I'll be tempted to try and get into those yawning caves without a guide and a very hard hat. Anyway, I expect there's a story behind that bloke on the edge.

first response would have to be Kingsgate, Botany Bay or very close along that tip of Kent. It's the ctmbly texture and the shallow beds covered by the tide that indicate a faster erosion rate than the South Coast.
I was wondering about that bit of Kent, too. Although, frankly, without a single building in the picture, I'm lost. Good luck, the rest of you.
(What's the big shadow in the foreground though?)
I'm very disappointed with myself 'cos I'm sure the three caves on the left are well known - as "the three nuns" or similar and we should therefore know exactly where they are. Any how I'm sticking to my first instinct. The shadow, Philip, is cast by the Zeppelin in which the photographer is positioned.
What a naughty boy to put us off the scent with all that South Coast stuff ...might it be Flamborough Head?
I too think it is Flamborough Head.
Compare and contrast with a more recent photo

Mr.D has it. Well done. I was thinking I was going to have to give a clue, and was about to say that David Hockney probably walks his dog up here now.
JD - i think you may have it, East Coast erosion charecteristics in evidence, bit of North Sea action. Plus we know the photogropher was crossing the Humber a few weeks ago. Those three caves must have a name though ......
Probably the only place Mr.Hockney can smoke in peace...
Diplo: Coincidence corner. When you wrote the stuff about the shadow I was writing something about Zeppelins.
good knowledge for me,thanks
I wonder what the story was, then, behind the bloke on the edge. I hope he wasn't a bloke on any kind of psychological edge, about to top himself, but merely a curious geological wanderer, curious about these very fine cliffs.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about opposite. Regards
