Construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace by Ancestral Puebloans, also known as Anasazi, was active from approximately 1190 CE through 1260 CE. Cliff Palace contains 23 kivas (round sunken rooms for rites and meetings) and 150 rooms and had a population of approximately 100 people. The dwellings were abandoned by ca. 1300, most likely because of sustained drought conditions.

South Stack, Anglesey, Wales
South Stack is an island situated just off #HolyIsland on the northwest coast of #Anglesey. It is famous as the location of one of Wales' most spectacular #SouthStackLighthouse. The cliffs are 130m high on average. Standing here you can see sea traffic in the Irish sea between Belfast and Liverpool and Cardiff. The jagged rocks and monoliths at the base offer a spectacular view with shallow, emerald waters - and are as deadly should you trip and fall.
These #Precambrian cliffs are one of my favourite in the whole of UK, and are home to some of the most important sea bird colonies in #Wales. During June and July the sea cliffs here are packed with sea birds - mainly auks including puffin, razorbill and guillemot.
From the cliff tops here you can look down and watch the birds swimming, as they fly underwater in search of fish and sand eels.
During the breeding season up to 3,000 Guillemots and 700 Razorbills will nest here, precariously balancing their eggs on the narrow ledges.
You'll also find a small Puffin colony here and predatory Great Blacked-backed Gulls swooping down to grab chicks from any unattended nests.
Aside from the bird life, #SouthStack is also famed for its plant life and one plant in particular, can only be found here in the whole of Britain.
The plant in question is known as the Spathulate Fleawort and is a rather plain yellow flower, not dissimilar to a tall daisy with yellow petals. You'll find it growing along the edges of the sea cliffs, so tread carefully.
The beautiful old city of Cuenca in central Spain. Some of the houses along the cliff date back to the 16th century.
Or if you prefer (which I most certainly do), the Cliffs of Insanity! Pretty sure someone stashed a horcrux around here somewhere too.
The Sea Cliff Bridge, together with the adjoining Lawrence Hargrave Drive Bridge, are two road bridges that carry the scenic Lawrence Hargrave Drive across the rockface on the Illawarra escarpment, located in the northern Illawarra region of New South Wales, Australia.
