 Cliffs of Moher

    The Cliffs of Moher rise 650 feet (200 m) out of the Atlantic Ocean and extend for 5 miles (8 km). The face of the Cliffs are composed of layers of black shale and sandstone.

    We visited the Cliffs of Moher the day after we arrived in Ireland, so they were virtually the first sight we saw. I had no idea what to expect from our journey to the Cliffs. I have seen cliffs before, but I don't think that anything could have prepared me for what I would see. The pictures that I took and really any picture I have seen of the Cliffs of Moher do not even compare to what one sees in person. A photograph cannot capture the beauty and sheer magnitude of the Cliffs.
