Seven Sisters

One more from the past.

The Seven Sisters are a series of chalk cliffs by the English Channel. They form part of the South Downs in East Sussex, between the towns of Seaford and Eastbourne in southern England. They are the remnants of dry valleys in the chalk South Downs which are gradually being eroded by the sea.
The Seven Sisters cliffs are occasionally used in filmmaking and television production as a stand-in for the more famous White Cliffs of Dover, since they are relatively free of anachronistic modern development and are also allowed to erode naturally. As a result, the ‘Seven Sisters’ and ‘Beachy Head’ remain a bright white colour, whereas the White Cliffs of Dover are protected due to the important port and are therefore increasingly covered in vegetation and are greening as a result. They are also featured at the beginning of the film ‘Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves’, and at the end of the film ‘Atonement’.

How fun to see, Ann. And I do love that they are so natural looking, with little intrusion from man-made elements.
