Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher are located in the parish of Liscannor at the south-western edge of the Burren area near Doolin, which is located in County Clare, Ireland.
The cliffs rise 120 meters (394 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head (Irish: Ceann na Cailleach), and reach their maximum height of 214 meters (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres away. The views from the cliffs attract close to one million visitors per year. On a clear day, the Aran Islands are visible in Galway Bay, as are the valleys and hills of Connemara. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

My feeble attempt with FSX only, based on a two second view from TV. They said, "where the water falls up." I assume due to the updrafts.

The real thing. I could not find a photo showing the water fall I had seen on TV.

Thanks for looking.

You will sit and watch the moonrise over Claddagh or watch the sun go down on Galway Bay.  Good stuff Larry  :).

Hi Larry...excellent livery and very nice shots... :)

We have relatives in Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England, Italy,  Germany and the United States of America.
The old girl has been over several times with several of our children.  That had something to do with the church and it was quite a task I tell you.  She is glad someone else has taken that position on.

I would like to visit England and some of Europe where my father and mother were stationed and flew out of.  My grandparents were from the old country and flew during the First World War so I am more interested in seeing those aerodromes than going to the cemeteries and churches.

I had planned to get over there this year but that will not happen right now, perhaps next year.  I would prefer to go alone as I know what I want to see.

Larry go when you can and you have your health.    ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug
