Buckle Church Burrow © 2011 Mufidah Kassalias
Here’s another photograph taken from the coastal path between Seaford and Cuckmere Haven. The path is part of the South Downs Way, which runs from Winchester (Hampshire) to Eastbourne (Sussex) and is entirely within the boundaries of the South Downs National Park.
Since the cliff edge topsoil is sandy it’s a good environment for rabbits to make their burrows, some of which you can see if you walk near the cliff edge — look closely at the left slope and you’ll see some of rabbit burrows. It turns out, though, this spot isn’t named after such rabbit goings-on, rather something to do with a church and a buckle, the details of which presently elude me.
I shot this with my compact Canon, which gives me no control over settings, but for a compact that’s a few years old now it does a pretty good job.
Wonderful visual!!!
Thank you!
You certainly have some beautiful countryside where you live. I like the composition of this photo…the hills folding in the middle lead my eyes out to sea and then the imagination just wanders. Nice photo from your little camera!
Thanks David. I often forget we live in a national park! Folding hills, I like that :-)
As some famous photographer once said Mufidah, “It’s not the camera that counts, but who is behind it”. The composition is excellent, curves, triangles and lots of detail.
Thanks David, much appreciated. And happy to know you like the composition :-)
Colors, horizon, everything the beautiful one in your photography.

Thank you Carlos! The soil is a gorgeous colour, and much more interesting than the heavy clay soil further inland.
It is a very nice click. The sea stands out like a never-ending place, and this photo made me feel that how good is to be on the land. Great shot. Beautiful place to be. :)
Thanks Nandini :-) A never-ending place, that sums up the sea very well — it feels so vast to me even when just a mile or two from the shore!
Gorgeous, Mufidah. I could stare out into the sea for days. :)
Thanks Katie, it’s a beautiful spot to do sit and stare out to sea :-)
What a picturesque scene! The landscape in my area is exceedingly flat – aside from the man-made pillars of steel and stone. This has so much character and the apparent erosion on the left embankment adds a lot of depth. Awesome work!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by :-)
Wonderful, this area looks like a relaxing place to hike.
Thanks Rob, it’s a great place for walking and one of our favourite spots.
A lovely sea view !!
Yes, a lovely place to be. Thanks Evelyn :-)
Lovely, and making me miss the south coast.
Thanks Karl! Have you lived here or is it a spot you’ve visited?
