About The Cliffs of Moher (Irish: Aillte an Mhothair, lit. cliffs of the ruin, also known as the Cliffs of Mohair from the Irish: Mhothair) are located in the parish of Liscannor at the south-western edge of The Burren area near Doolin, which is located in County Clare, Republic of Ireland.

The cliffs rise 120 meters (394 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and reach their maximum height of 214 meters (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres away. The cliffs boast one of Ireland's most spectacular views. On a clear day the Aran Islands are visible in Galway Bay, as are the valleys and hills of Connemara. The cliffs consist mainly of beds of Namurian shale and sandstone, with the oldest rocks being found at the bottom of the cliffs. One can see 300 million year old river channels cutting through the base of the cliffs.

There are many animals living on the cliffs, most of them birds: 30,000 birds of 29 species. The most interesting are the famous Atlantic Puffins, which live in large colonies at isolated parts of the cliffs and on the small Goat Island. Also present are hawks, gulls, guillemots, shags, ravens and choughs.

The Cliffs Of Moher are amongst the most impressive places to see in Ireland, and are widely considered to be Ireland's top tourist attraction, drawing almost one million visitors in 2007!!

Hoping you will be able to visit these one day, really worth it! Just don't fall like I did at the second cliff, brusing my ribs and damaged my camera;))
Enjoy another beautiful day dear friends, Jenxx

Good Morning dear Jen- Ohhh my goodness it's a wonder you didn't damage or break any other body parts - what amazing history in your 'about section' !

What an awesome image ! The light is what attracts me first - well equally along with the subject and the POV- love that misty atmosphere and the depth and angle ..I feel as though I am almost there -

Great shot my dear & Take Care,
Hugs, Michele~

Lollll...you shouldn't read it all anyway Bobot, takes too much time.....I did capture one dangerous place and almost felt like being in a movie....
They made some movies up here, but its also a very sad place for people commiting suicide, there were even signs for help up there, life is strange isnt it?
But nature and moms can be cruel then:)) Have a beautiful day dear Bobot, be well, Jen

Gracias millions dear Gust@avo, thanks a lot for your comment! I was also very swept of my feet by the atmosphere, it was all true what they said about Ireland that time, but then I would love to see it back one day and with a nice sunny day;)
Be well and hugs, Jen

Or did you come over did you say?????
Lots of warm hugs, keep warm!! Kiss Jenxx

Jen van Wijn Jen van Wijn   {K:24075} 4/10/2008
You know how teachers are my dearest:))) I think the're both not good enough, but it wasn't clear
at all, the spray didnt come just from sea, can
you believe this? Somehow out of the rocks there
were holes and the spray came out there, hard to
explain....lolll
Actually it wasn't allowed to climb on the
cliffs, too many accidents etc. but well, these
stupid Dutch being there, always want to see
whats over the edge..;)))
Waiting for your next shot my dear, come on!!
Big hugs and sleep well, Jenxx

Well, thank you, I wasnt sure...there was fog and spray all the time, which made it quite hazy and
not clear, very weird weather:) Brused my ribs, did take some weeks, but the camera was worse for me..loll, very kind concern!!!
Have a great day dear Mus, hugs Jenxx
