For real? I didn't notice...I just was doing English word play. They both are pronounced exactly the same.

It such an amazing coast-line around Dieppe. I just have discovered it last week, didn't know about it before. Merci!

Aw, I can feel the sea breeze and hear that wave breaking!
Such interesting cliffs. French counterparts to Dover?

And it WAS a nice summer morning
Counterparts of Dover, well, yes, in way. All parts of the Paris Basin in geological terms. Though this is like 150 km further south, maybe more opposing Beachy Head or Seven Sisters ...

Exactly what I was thinking!

Also, I wonder why Europe has such high straight sea cliffs and the U.S. doesn't? I haven't been to Dover or Brittany, but the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland are tall and straight too (not chalk though).

... there is considerable recent uplift of the crust in this area, this is why the cliffs develop. Origin of uplift? Not sure. Sometimes it is related to salt diapirs, but there also is a general shortening of Europe (resulting in uplift) due to to African continent pushing from the south. And this IS strong, it created all of the Alps, for instance ...

Thanks, Ulrich. Fascinating processes that work so slowly and move such vast masses. And I did not know the word "diapir", thank you for that too!

Dover is everything you would imagine. It's startling, almost, probably because there is nothing like it here in the USA.

Moher was like that. Another thing that was not like the US was that you could walk right to the edge - there was a low railing but people ignored it. We have some great pictures.
Oh dear, LA is leading Boston by 12 at the beginning of the second quarter! Game 6 of the finals with Boston up 3-2, but the game is in LA...

Wouldn't recommend to walk to the edge here, it is VERY brittle stuff ...

Let's go METS!

Mets? 
17! I have a very bad feeling about this... (also it's hard to stay up till the end when the game tips off at 9:10!)

Are you watching the World Cup? I can hear those horns buzzing all the way up the stairs!
π: 0 β©: 1
No... too crushed by the Celtics loss last night
Not really that crushed, I just like that emote and don't get to use it much
I read about those horns in the news though. I felt like getting one and blowing it myself.
π: 0 β©: 1
I know. I want one, too. Perhaps there is a cottage industry in there for us?!
π: 0 β©: 1
Definitely. We'll capitalize it with earnings from our art... we'll move into horns... after that, the sky's the limit!

Ach, das sind nur die kleinen schwebenden Kreidepartikel, die vor 60 Millionen Jahren allemal kleine Algen (Coccolithophoriden) waren

Ja, so kann man es auch sehen.

Fabulous! looks remarkably like cuckmere haven looking towards the seven sisters

I never knew, but there is probably more of these Cretaceous cliffs in France than in the whole of Kent and Sussex ...
