57 mins confidence:
wandering line of rugged cliffs Explanation: it's a poetic description of the rugged coastline ; I think 'continuous' or 'constant' is grounded in time and therefore not as visually evocative- other possiblities for discurrir: roaming, ambling. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 58 mins (2008-11-30 19:04:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- hope this helps Example sentence(s):

long stretch of cliffs Explanation: "....long stretch of cliffs, interspersed by different beaches." This Fort set out on an arch of land overlooking a **long stretch of cliffs** is also a wonderful place to visit. http://www.artistshostel.com/aran_islands.html Just like before, you're driving along another stretch of flat desert floor, staring up at another **long stretch of cliffs**, that seem impossible to climb. http://www.takemytrip.com/07zion/07_05a.htm Some prefer Widemouth Bay for its quieter aspect as there is no discernible village but merely the occasional small grouping of houses along this **long stretch of cliffs** and beach. http://www.southwestholidaycottages.com/WidemouthBay.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hora (2008-11-30 19:57:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- You could also use .......DOTTED WITH (DIFFERENT) BEACHES |
