I have spent the last two Tuesdays at Birling Gap in the South Downs National Park.
Although I love discovering new locations, there is also a joy in revisiting known places.
The light is always different, the seasons and weather change and, at the coast there is always the added variable of tides. 
The first Tuesday, a low tide revealed sand that reflected the cliffs and interesting sky:
On my return this week, the tide was shallow, never uncovering the sand. This created a very different mood:
I grew up in this part of the country so photography trips to the South Downs National Park always feel like a coming home. 
The chalk-based landscape is really quite special and, at Birling Gap, I love the way grey rocks sit on the chalky base below the white cliffs…
…and the chalk makes the sea bright against a stormy sky. 
I am heading down to Sussex again tomorrow. As always, I hope for interesting light. But I know that I will enjoy this beautiful place no matter what the weather brings.

Looks like a peaceful place to be. I can see why you like to go back. I think it goes without saying that your photos are fantastic. Cheers, Rachael!
Thank you, Shannon! So sorry for the huge delay in replying!
so this old synical nature photographer would hang them on his wall , respect Rachael :0)
Hi Andy. Thanks, although I do not recognise your description of yourself! 🙂
Fab place, must visit.
Hi Victoria. If you haven’t been there before, you must! It’s very doable as a day trip from Surrey.
Perfectly beautiful. Amelia
Hi Amelia. Thank you! I expect you’ve seen it in person at least once.
Fantastic set, Rachael. I particularly like the second landscape. Very striking.
Thank you. So sorry for the huge delay in replying!
Beautiful work Rachael!
Thank you, Adrian!
Love the minimalism of the 2nd shot! Great collection.
Thanks, Denise. That one certainly seems to be popular. 🙂
Beautiful photos. The muted colour palette are calming and equally, a little unsettling, depending what mood I’m in when I look at them!
Thanks, Jaina. I seem to be using desaturated colours more and more. I think they are easier to live with in the long run.
Wonderful images!
Thank you, Sophie!
Looking through your posts, there are some wonderful coastal images, I really must get down to the coast sometime soon!
