We reach the place where there is an extraordinary number of crosses and flowers laid on the verge. Beachy Head is the third most popular place to commit suicide (after a Japanese Forest and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco).
A lonely cross on the edge
A sea gull banks over the cross
Somebody left some flowers long time back on this little post
What do people think before jumping? This view? 
A tiny cross
The lament of a sorrowing father. 
A cross on the edge overlooking the lighthouse
Looking back at the crosses, soon this will also fall away, you can see the huge crack
Another seagull over the cliff
Its a long way down
The crack is widening actually…
Another cross
Another piece of the cliff, nearing collapse
Looking down the other headlands
It was a bit of a sad trip this side of the headlands…
i was reminded about our Greek trip…where the mad driving and sad roads ended up with tons of these roadside crosses and shrines. Sad indeed
