There'll be blue birds over The white cliffs of Dover, Tomorrow, just you wait and see.
There'll be love and laughter And peace ever after Tomorrow, when the world is free.
The shepherd will tend his sheep, The valley will bloom again And Jimmy will go to sleep, In his own little room again.
And for those who want to listen to a wartime classic: http://www.dover-kent.co.uk/cliffs_full.wav
The white cliffs of Dover, are cliffs which form part of the British coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliffs are part of the North Downs formation. The cliff face, which reaches up to 350 feet high, owes its striking façade to its composition of chalk (pure white calcium carbonate) accentuated by streaks of black flint. The cliffs spread east and west from the town of Dover in the county of Kent, an ancient and still important English port.

@Stunner: Thank you! It´s one of my favoured places...
Striking image! I doubt there's an ex-pat Brit who can look at images like this with a dry eye. Great shot.

Sehr gut belichtet. Man kann die Struktur des Kalkfelsens gut erkennen.
