from my tour of the south of england, july 2013 (34 of many)

this is our fabulous driver, malcolm. he said he was afraid of heights, but he risked looking over the edge of the cliff at beachy head anyway ... and he liked what he saw !!!
thanks for driving us safely and expertly all the way ... ;-)

A beautiful smile on his face Franz! It is always a triumphant moment when we can conquer our inner fears! Nicely captured! ;-)

Good for him that he ventured close enough to look down ... and is that a bit of sand that I see beneath the cliff?

@Judy aka L@dybug: no, judy, still no sand ... that's wishful thinking ;-)

Malcolm makes everyone smile! Nice shot of this sunny person and pretty seascape too.

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan

I understand his fear! I suffer of vertigo and...am not yet conscious enough, all the time, to refrain from looking down when I am very, very high up in a building.
But his smile says that he was fine!

This is wonderful, Franz. Landscapes so often are improved with a person in the shot.

Reinald Van De Walle from Vigo, Spain

I had looked too and as well as Malcolm, lying!! The detail of its dark color against the light background of the cliff is fine.
