Watchtower of the Atlantic – Cliffs of Moher

I captured this image at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland, one of the most dramatic
coastlines in the world. I rose before sunrise to beat the tourist crowds, hoping to catch
the cliffs in their quiet solitude. The winds were fierce that morning — sharp and biting,
the kind that sting your face and make you pull your jacket tighter.

As I stood near the edge, I could feel the gusts tugging at me, and for a moment I truly
wondered if I might be blown right over into the sea below. That mix of awe and unease
made the experience unforgettable. The view, with O’Brien’s Tower perched proudly at
the cliff’s edge, rising above the vast Atlantic, was worth every shiver and every
cautious step.
