The story behind the image
The Cliffs of Moher are most certainly a superior attraction at the west coast of Ireland. They are part of an 18 km hiking trail along the coast, providing breathtaking views along the steep cliffs.
When we were visiting the site in 1999, simple signs warned visitors to be cautious because of the “very dangerous cliffs ahead”. The cliffs are really steep, so steep in fact that several people crawled to the edge and lied down to take a look down!
This photo shows the giant dimensions of the cliffs – and the risks associated with walking on the rocks. One wrong step, and you will be falling for more than 200 meters into the Atlantic Ocean. (Also note the small group that sits on the edge and lets their legs dangle. To me, this is pure madness.)
