Cliffs of Moher, Republic of Ireland

These majestic cliffs rise from the Atlantic Ocean to a height of nearly 200m and extend for a distance of 8km from Hag's Head due west of Liscannor to a point beyond O'Brien's Tower. They take their name from a ruined promontory fort, Mothar, which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower. Seems whenever I go to these places there is nothing but cloud and fog!

Near Ballycastle, Northern Ireland

This was a little beach not far from the dramatic headlands of Ballycastle along the northern Antrim coast. The sun came out (which can be quite rare in Northern Ireland where it often rains!) and we went for a walk along the coast!

Near the Isle of Skye, Scotland

Another random handstand in beautiful random northern Scotland... where the grass grows long!

Ullapool, Scotland

After our truck broke down we spent about 8 hours in this little place waiting for it to be fixed. Notice the little boats in the background. We "borrowed" a row boat and rowed around the bay for a couple hours and upon returning it to the man we thought owned it and thanking him for helping us to have an enjoyable afternoon - he informed us he didn't know who's boat it was.

Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh Scotland

A hike up Arthur's Seat - a 823 Ft. extinct volcano which is located just a little way behind Hollyrood Castle at one end of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. It's an easy walk and several trails crisscross the park. Sometimes you can find a group of rock climbers there practicing their skills. The views from Arthur's Seat are spectacular in every direction as you can see for miles. You can get a great view of the entire city and Edinburgh Castle which is cuilt on another extinct volcano!
