This is one of those challenges where I had so many photos I couldn’t choose.

As a way of narrowing down my choices I decided to only choose places where I could also find examples of the next three items of Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, essentially looking at a place every which way. The Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland was my first choice for looking down on things. But could I find looking up and sideways and underneath?

• Looking Down on Things

I see most of these shots are Al’s; I’m obviously a bit more leery of heights than I realized.
Looking down at the Branaunmore sea stack from the trail above. For scale note the tiny people further on down the trail, and the two-storey tower on the point.
Another view looking down at a sea stack. Looking down from the Cliffs of Moher – this shot makes my stomach fall away, and is the only one in the ‘looking-down’ bunch that I actually took!
From one point we could see ferries winding their way around the sea stacks at the bottom of the cliffs and thought it would be fun to see them from a completely different perspective.

• Looking Up on Things

Looking up at the Branaunmore sea stack from the ferry, which made a side trip to the cliffs on our way back from the Aran Islands.

• View From the Side

The Branaunmore sea stack is just around the corner.

• • View From the Bottom or Underneath

The ferry takes a side trip underneath the Cliffs of Moher.
My artsy shot for this post: the Cliffs of Moher run through Psykopaint.
