Big Sur...a la France











These are the cliffs of Etretat, on the English Channel, only about 50 miles across the sea from the more-famous-but-less-spectacular White Cliffs of Dover. This is probably the most stunning piece of shore scenery in all of northern Europe. The winds were well over 40 MPH and it alternated between sun and rain almost every 10 minutes. It's a healthy hike to the top but the view is...well, you be the judge. By the way, there are no rails, ropes, or fences here. Not for the faint of heart, nor for the ambulance chasers.
