Just incredible! WOW!

this is wonderful ChelseaBlue…the sheer size of the cliffs are realised by their comparison to the lighthouse.
great composition and a super photo !

The juxtaposition of the great lofty cliffs dwarfing this wee lighthouse is just beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this.

Strange location for a lighthouse! Great take :)

gorgeous image!! : )

Simply beautiful.

great shot ~ wonderful persepctive ~ congrats on being featured xx

beautiful setting and wonderful capture : )

Wow amazing landscape great persepctive and capture.

Love the colour gradients the further you look out to sea.

Great composition. I love the way the hill side “pushes” the eye towards the lighthouse!

Nice sense of balance in this shot. Well done.

Wow! This is a splendid shot! What a unique perspective – isn’t the lighthouse supposed to be at the top of the cliff?

Great perspective and a fantastic view to boot!

Great natural colours & such a great prospective make this a super shot.

Dramatic and stunning. Beautiful work!

awesome shot! very different!

A brilliant perspective, the wonderful depth and warm colours are very beautiful!!

Don`t Jump !!

stunning shot

Nicely composed capture! :)

Wonderful capture.

Thank you Secretwomen

breathtaking view and capture!!!!!!!

what a fantastic image

ohhhh I love this .. outstanding shot

Great composition, love the blue/green contrast, a favourite. Brings back memories.

This is amazing!

this is so beautiful…great shot!

Fantastic shot! It looks as if this lighthouse gets completely surrounded by water. When it was manned, I bet it was an exciting place to be with all of the waves hitting it, Now wouldn’t that be a picture.

Terrific shot – it almost doesn’t look real. and I love your text, its always good to learn something new :o)

Well I never, I know Eastborne very well, the times I spent up here as a boy, thank you for the memory, great shot.

Stunning view!

This image is fantastic.The lighthouse looks like it has drifted from somewhere a bit more prominent…so out of place…to me anyway…what do i know though!! Great image.

I love the perspective! Superb work!

great shot

Thanks brirose, glad you like it

magnificent capture Gordon

Fantastic angle captured looks wonderful!!

Great shot!!

fantastic image:)

Terrific photo and a keeper for sure. I remember in our younger days we used to drive down to Eastbourne from our home in Surrey and then head on up to Beachy Head where we used to lie face down on the very edge, smoking furiously (we did in those days!! LOL) and flicking the butts over the edge. We would have been in our late teens I suppose! Wonderful to have those memories rekindled. Peter

Beautiful photograph Chelseablue! I love the color contrast and it has great depth of field too! Thank you for adding the description it makes it all the more interesting to learn about its history! TERI~

excellent perspective CB

Wonderful work !

oh this is fabulous, lighthouses are such good photo subjects and they all have a story, beautiful composition

brilliantly captured!!

awesome capture

This is outstanding- great perspective- colours are fantastic-WOW!!

Wow – I’m loving the grandeur of the cliffs in comparison to lighthouse. All your photos capture the size perspectives amazingly.

Awesome – love the way you have composed this with the cliff dominating, yet “leading” to the lighthouse. Very nice indeed Chelsea.

A well thought out composition with the lighthouse in perfect place as a focal point, beautifully captured,
Regards, Rod.

This is beautiful…love the angle!!!!!!!

Very good composition, beautiful capture

very nice view point and excellent composition. love the light in your image and your fine use of colors. very intense!

Wow, beautiful shot, great composition and colours, and an incredible story!

Well CB this is a great shot. So much for you saying in your bio that you’re a total amateur. Looks to me that that’s rapidly changing! Keep up the fantastic work.Cheers Lee

Stunning, beautiful and strong….... what a combination. Extremely well done I think with the angle of this shot adding so much…love it!

Beautiful image.Spot on composition and great colour.Very nice work

Great veiw super composition very well done.
Rich.

Excellent shot, the composition is superb.

This is a great view. The lighthous looks small beside the cliffs. stunning

Amazing shot, wonderful perspective! The composition, color and clarity of this image are excellent and such a beautiful view as well!

1902~1983 short life! .... SHAME… great capture!!

Unique perpective on a lighthouse. Great shot!

Splendid composition Gordon!

Beautiful!!!!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous capture… Very well done….

Wonderful capture. Good eye.

Amateur, I think not. Lovely composition.

Stunning work!! The entire shot is perfect.. the feeling of looking over and surprise.. the lighthouse!

This is a great shot. Love the comp, and just the overall feel and look of the scene…a fav!

wow, stunning capture, what a view

What A great shot! Lovely capture.

Nicely done and great perspective

An excellent and original view of the ligthouse. It looks so smallagainst the cliffs,yet the bright red and white markings make it stand out and draw the eye towards it. Many years ago I wanted to be a lighthouse keeper then, as you say, they were automated and that career path was closed. :( Just think of the photos you could get from the top of the lighthouse when the wind blows a gale and the waves are crashing all around…

An amazing shot….amazing composition here – very striking image. Wished you’d had this in Nautical…they’ve just run a challenge on lighthouses! Check them out.

A truly beautiful image!

great angle! love this point of view. breath taking view!

My Blue, very nice! I should think an unusual angle of capture for a lighthouse. I too am new and just getting my feet wet on Redbubble. Randy in Vancouver

I would like to join the large fan club for this beautifully seen and taken image.

This is Awesome.. it’s an amazing view and I’m sure this picture gives justice to this beautiful place ! An istant Favorite.. Fantasic work !

Stunning! Love the lighthouse -I would expect to be up the hill… down there! Spectacular view! Beautiful work!

Thanks Maxy

Beautiful image!!

fantastic shot

FABulous! Love the detail and colouring in this shot, great work! :-)

wow,, beautiful!

Such a great image. Puts our engineering efforts in the shade seeing those cliffs beside the lighthouse. Lovely colours too. :)

STUNNING

Outstanding!!!

Great lighthouse shot mate. There’s not many of these in the North West.

Excellent capture!

Great image. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lighthouse photographed from such a vantage point.

Oh wow this is fantastic

Wow, now that is unusual. What a well taken image.

awesome

Fantastic shot

Lovely composition and colour.

Superb shot, love the perspective.

Wonderful shot that brings back many memories from my youth. As late teenagers, who should have known better, we used to lie face down right on the very edge of the cliff and proceed to flick our cigarette butts down to see if we could spot them hitting the rocks below!! (I hadn’t thought of those times until seeing this photo!!) A great piece of work. Best wishes, Peter

Such wonderful composition. This is wonderful work.

I love lighthouses! I used to live in Virginia Beach and there were many there. This is an amazing picture. Nicely done!

Congrats on being Featured in the Point and Shooters Group!

Great shot mate.

What a cool, cool perspective!! Makes the lighthouse look like a very small model. Nicely done!

Very impressive. The lighthouse looks so small in this shot. The cliffs must be huge or is it just the right perspective?

Well done of the challenge win! wonderful shot. I was up at that spot only a couple of weeks back, the spectacle of Beachy Head never ceases to amaze me..I wandered across birling gap/seven sisters and the Head all in one day..phew i was knackered :)

Great POV and illustration of scale – those cliffs are massive ! Very nice and vivid colours.

Excellent image and well deserved challenge win!

Leanne.

Fantastic shot.

Great POV n this! Very nice shot!

Very well composed with the strong diagonal leading the eye towards the lighthouse.
I particularly like the variations in the colour of the sea.
Nicely exposed, and good detail in the chalk cliff.

great shot, accepted and simply has to be featured in essentially eastbourne

Wow! Wonderful contrast of scale, a great range of colour and excellent POV

wow, I love this! Awesome work!

This must be one of the most viewed images on Red Bubble! ;) This lighthouse always looks to me like it has fallen off the clifftop, and ended up just out to sea. Great pic.

Great composition contrasting the huge cliffs with that lighthouse below. Wonderful feeling of distance and light.

magnificent! love the perspective and the colours are wonderful!!! Thank you also for hte very interesting write-up to go :)
~ Tina

The lighthouse so far down looks almost like a toy. A fantastic shot!

Excellent capture and great pov.

Gordon, I see this is still doing well in competitions, well done

Nice shot. I like the contrasting colours in the sea. Certainly wouldn’t want to be there today though – blowing a gale in Eastbourne today!

Congratulations this is a great shot! Let’s see how things play-out next time (3rd times the charm). Bob

Cool perspective! Great photo!

amazing shot, congratualtions!

Great scenery ChealseaBlue … hows the weather over there with you today … Its raining here today, windy too, the house feels cold although we continue to burn the oil burner to heat the radiators throughout the house. Kids are in their bedrooms watching tv and perhaps playing with their computer games or simply listening to music through their computers. Me, I have a lot of work to do and I mean a lot (for school), but on days like this, I simply couldn’t be bothered. I took the kids to the local supermarket and had lunch, let them pick five dvd’s so that they would have some different entertainment throughout the day. Mum, the wife, shes at work … yip at work nursing some sickly folk, God bless them, and its Saturday … the day we usually spend out and about doing family/quality time with one another. Dad phoned to see if all is ok and says mum is in bed feeling poorly with a possible chest infection. I hope shes ok … will travel down to their house later today and bring something to cheer them up. Oh what a day, the rain has eased a little and there is a temporary break in the grey skyline. I am peering out the front window of our family room and accross the meadow, the trees are almost bare, skeleton like with little evidence of wildlife. I must get the overcoat on and brave the weather to hang those wildbird delights on the tree in the garden. The birds always look forward to that and it gives the kids and I great pleasure to watch the various little songsters coming to visit for a well needed feed. I would like to take some pictures around and about the local countryside today but don’t think it would be a great idea as I dont wish to get a soaking especally with all sorts of flu’s lurking (oink oink) and some people that we know have caught it already but thankfully are well on their way to a full recovery. Christmas aint that far away and the shops are full of beautiful gifts for all, just last evening I walked around the Christmas festive marketplace outside City Hall in Belfast, to kill a couple of hours, while my wife and kids attended the Kings Hall Children in Need event which was also televised. The stalls are made up of produce from all around the world with the good folk from each country selling their wares. The smells and sights are brilliant, I forgot to bring my camera and was so pissed at that, but I will return to capture these delights and to share here in the next weeks. I had to sample a tasty burger and believe me it was the best burger that I have tasted to date and was well worth the extortonate price that I payed for it … bought some tarts and sat with a large hot drinking chocolate under the big wheel turning and illuminated in all is glory … what a sight.
Stopped for a chat with an ex-pupil of mine in the local mobile phone shop and then dandered around Victoria Square and that was also very enjoyable as the Christmas decorations were in situ. It was then I realised that my phone would help capture that moment with its integral camera so I snapped up a few shots to show my wife and kids later in the evening. I will try and upload some of these pics on RB later for you all to see. I didn’t have the time to walk back around to the marketplace to snap up the sights there and anyway I would rather wait for another excuse to revisit to sample some more of the gastronomic delights and perhaps some of that foreign beer …. I guess wifey will have to drive on that particular occasion LOL :-) . On the road home I could see the night sky light up with fireworks and the Belfast lough reflected its many colours as I drove toward home to Carrickfergus. I arrived at the harbour area in the town and the fireworks were still lighting up the sky, so I sat in my car and watched the remainder of the display along with the other townfolk before heading the extra two miles northwest for home. Right, thats about enough time wasted here and I hope you’ve enjoyed reading this snippit of my day here in paradise … mums just phoned and shes feeling better and wants to see the kids …. so I will pack them up and take them down for an hour or so to see Nan and Granda …. be good and happy RB’ing!

w0w! beautiful sweetheART lovely capture ;} happy hippy hugglez

Stunning cliff!!!! WOW!!! What a view!! Spectacular light and such beauty .. forever..!!! I love this!!! xx

Stunning cliff!!!! WOW!!! What a view!! Spectacular light and such beauty .. forever..!!! I love this!!! xx

The lighthouse appears dwarfed by the cliff which gives a good idea of it’s height. A beautiful spot to have such a sad history.

amazing shot, love composition

Fabulous image.
