By the sea

 A bit further round the Cliff Walk in Portstewart from last week's pic:

Ilford Delta 3200@1600, on Ilford MG Classic paper

When I was a lad, there were no barriers here.  Just a bit further up the path (behind me, from where this shot was taken) and you've a 100-foot drop to the rocks and sea.  It focused the mind, I seem to recall, walking along there with nothing between you and oblivion.  Nowadays there's the barriers you can see here.  To be honest, in this age of 'ealth and safety, I'm surprised they aren't a little more solid, given that a child could easily squeeze through the rails.
