Title: Cliffs of the island Møn
Post by: Lars Hansen on July 25, 2023, 20:53:57
I visited Møns Klint (Cliffs of Møn) last weekend - chalk/limestone cliffs at the east coast of the island of Møn in Denmark (baltic sea).

The area where these shots was taken, the cliff rises about 100 meters over the coast below - tallest cliff is 128  meters. The cliffs stretches 7 kilometers along the coast. Notice the silhouettes of persons on first two shots.

Z7 and 24-70/4.

Nice pictures :)
Many thanks, Bent - I've reworked them to brighter versions .. seemed a bit dark.

I like the very last one in the series.  The group of peculiar trees is presented nicely!

Fascinating landscapes, also at different times of the year. I must have passed it many times coming from the ferry going to Copenhagen!
Thanks Lars.

Many thanks, Akira - glad you like it! I agree the trees are peculiar. An interesting forest and especially in Denmark which is generally a flat country. The isle of Møn has some great hilly landscapes. These are snapshots - I didn't have much time but could easily have spent many hours hiking in the area :)

Many thanks, Fons - I agree, the landscapes are fascinating. I wouldn't mind going there in different seasons of the year, but it's a bit far from where I live so I got a nice book with landscape photos from the area to compensate  :). Unfortunately I didn't have much time - a walk down the stairs to the beach to get some shots and look for fossils would have been nice. Next time you pass with the ferry then look for a (smaller) version of Dover ;)

I like the transition of colours in the sea Lars

A few more.

The woodland scene sloping away is great and reminds me of a favourite walk

I like them too.
I was there once a number of years ago. Somewhat scary at sea level due to the danger of «klint-slide».

Thank you for the details.  My wild guess is that the rather harsh climate and the oblique ground caused these peculiar serpentine shapes...

A very late thanks to all of you for the comments!

Many thanks Armando! - glad you like it. The same to you - I also enjoy the fascinating locations you share.

Many thanks Colin. I'm glad you like the woodland scene, and very glad that you like the transitions in the sea - something I've tried (still trying) to get to match my memory. I'm sure the Z7 sensor captured it - just need to find it...       

Very nicely presented! I have been there many times, always interesting scenery.
Many thanks Erik! - it certainly is, and it was great to be there after many years.

I like them too.

Many thanks Kjetil - yes, klint-slides occur and some have been fatal. Back in March there was a large rumbling slide witnessed by two tourists.

Thanks Akira - probably a good guess. Apart from the climate, the chalky ground also impacts the ability of the trees to absorb important nutrients.
