Scenic Overlook

Photographs generally taken from elevated vantage points showing broad views of natural landscapes, including hills, forests, valleys, and ridges. Locations include trail summits, roadside pull-offs, and mountain edges.

Gary at the Big Paddy Creek Scenic Overlook, Paddy Creek Wilderness — It was very windy up on the ridge, and the wind was quite chilly, which was nice as it was 82°F in the sun. This is another Ozarks view I never tire of. 3

Big Paddy Creek Scenic Overlook, Paddy Creek Wilderness — I’ve taken pictures of this view before, but what the heck, here’s another. 2

The White Cliffs of Dover — That’s not Brighton … Upon leaving Folkestone to go to Brighton we decided to head off in the opposite direction instead and visit the White Cliffs of Dover.

Folkestone beach and habour wall — Ginger captured this excellent view of the beach and harbour wall. The next morning I had a great run here, from the hotel, through the back streets and passages down to the harbour, out along the wall. Then back along the beach and sea front ending with the 200 ft climb back to the hotel.

Long way down.

View from the Scenic Overlook — looking northwest. Clear skies and a higher sun made it a lot easier to see the lie of the land.

View from the Scenic Overlook — looking southwest. Look carefully and you can see the two roads I still have to cross. But first I have to get down off this ridge and cross the creek.
