The White Cliffs of Dover

For our free day, we traveled to the Cliffs of Dover. This particular day was cold, around 35°, windy, and snowing. To get to the Cliffs was quite the task since it is a footpath with little protection from the elements, but the view was worth the endeavor. The attached picture displays the White Cliffs covered in snow. This picture helps me to understand how on this particular day the Cliffs seem to blend the land above with the ocean below instead of separating them. The now is so white that the Cliffs appear a darker shade such plummets into the darkest hue that is the sea. On any other given day the Cliffs would’ve stood out against the sea and land as a clear divide, but it is interesting to think how just a change in weather/season could change how the whole scene is perceived.
