Sheep graze in the green fields north of St Abbs, Scotland.

The Meat Cleaver by Captures.in.time Via Flickr: The rock formation to the left is locally known as the Meat Cleaver which is fairly obvious to know why based on it's shape. This is taken from the top of the cliff. There is arguably a better composition if you take the path down to the headland in the centre of the picture you can see. The initial decent to that is very steep and with my current injured knee I felt would have been a silly move when here on my own at 1030pm at night. The better composition is a tricky one however as if you go too low the cleaver cuts the horizon which I personally dont like.
