WHITE CLIFFS OF DOVER, A QUICK GLIMPSE FROM THE SEA

in TravelFeed27 days ago (edited)

My truck journeys don’t always stay on the mainland. From time to time the road takes me across the sea — to the UK. Yes, even truckers like me sometimes end up on the famous British Island😄

One of the most iconic sights in England is of course the White Cliffs of Dover. And let me tell you — they are white. Very white! 😅 Who was there he knows it!

Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance (yet!) to walk on top of them or see them up close or from another site. But I took a few photos during one of my ferry crossings. So today I am sharing with you a quick view from the sea.

🧠 Did you know?
The White Cliffs of Dover are made of chalk, a soft white rock formed from the remains of tiny sea creatures that lived over 70 million years ago! Their bright white color comes from the high amount of calcium carbonate in the chalk. They face France across the English Channel and have been a symbol of hope and homecoming for centuries.

I hope one day I can visit the cliffs from the land side and show you more pictures. But for now – enjoy this short sea moment with me.

Moje ciężarówkowe trasy nie zawsze ograniczają się do kontynentu. Od czasu do czasu droga prowadzi mnie również za morze – do Wielkiej Brytanii. Tak, nawet tacy truckerzy jak ja czasem kończą na tej słynnej brytyjskiej wyspie 😄

Jednym z najbardziej rozpoznawalnych widoków w Anglii są oczywiście Białe Klify w Dover. I mogę wam powiedzieć jedno – one naprawdę są białe. Bardzo białe! 😅 Kto tam był, ten wie!

Niestety (jeszcze!) nie miałam okazji przespacerować się ich szczytem ani zobaczyć ich z bliska, z innej perspektywy. Ale podczas jednego z rejsów promem zrobiłam kilka zdjęć. I dziś dzielę się z wami tym krótkim morskim spojrzeniem.

🧠 Czy wiesz, że...
Białe Klify w Dover zbudowane są z kredy – miękkiej, białej skały, powstałej z pozostałości mikroskopijnych organizmów morskich, które żyły ponad 70 milionów lat temu! Ich jasnobiały kolor pochodzi od dużej zawartości węglanu wapnia. Klify te zwrócone są w stronę Francji, po drugiej stronie Kanału La Manche, i od wieków są symbolem nadziei oraz powrotu do domu.

Mam nadzieję, że któregoś dnia uda mi się odwiedzić je od strony lądu i pokazać wam więcej zdjęć. A tymczasem – zapraszam na ten krótki moment na morzu 🌊
