Class and Journals on the Chalk Cliffs

It seems like the clouds are closer to the land here in England, and it makes for very dramatic skyscapes. We walked up, up, and up over the green turf to the stone cross on the hilltop, and the sun streamed through the brilliantly edged clouds behind. Huge cloud shadows moved over the wrinkled sea half a thousand feet below; seabirds shrieked as they wheeled out from the cliffs hundreds of feet beneath us. (1997)
