Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
-W.B. Yeats

This rather short cliff walk is located at First Summit (2,168 m) right above Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland. It is very stable and not dangerous at all.
First and the cliff walk can best be reached by cable car from Grindelwald. The gondola ride takes 25 minutes and offers spectacular views.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
The cliffs at Hunstanton, Norfolk are famous for their colour bands.
The lowest dark brown layer was laid down in warm shallow seas 70 million years ago. It is 'carstone' made of sand and iron compounds. Local builders use it. The younger much thinner 'red rock' layer above it is chalk coloured with iron pigments. Above that is a thick layer of white chalk.
All contain fossils but frequent rock falls make it dangerous to be too close.
