Taking the Cliff Top spur trail from the terminus of Alum Cave Bluff trail at Mt. LeConte Lodge we were rewarded with an incredible cloud inversion that blanketed the lowlands like and angry sea devours a coastline. In front of us the sun had just receded from view, still bathing the distant clouds in an orange peal color while the super moon cast its cool glow from behind. There are moments of magic in these ancient hills.

Happy Holidays to all.

I've been in Durango for a month now, and this week I finally made it down to Mesa Verde National Park. Last year I went there twice and both times, all the tours of Cliff Palace were filled. That sucked! It is the biggest and nicest of all the cliff dwellings. So, I FINALLY made it down there. It was really an amazing cliff dwelling.

I liked the way the light played on the cliffs in this one and the big clouds.

“Below the Cliff” — Dense trees grow at the base of a sandstone cliff, Zion National Park.

This photograph comes from a trip to Utah and specifically a visit to Zion National Park over a dozen years ago. It is also another of my “lost and found” photographs — from a file that has languished in my raw file archives since that time. I think I may have left it behind after working on a different photograph of the same cliff.

This is a classic Utah red rock canyon scene, with bright green trees (just barely starting to take on autumn colors) at the base of red rock cliffs. I love how the reds and green stand out against one another. As I’ve said before, this Sierra Nevada guy, after a visit to Utah, upon returning to the gray granite of “my” range always looks a bit… bland.

Faial caldera cliff. Azores, Portugal

We were hoping for a colourful sunset but while this didn't happen, the beautiful sea cliffs on Achill Island made for great photographs anyway.

Another shot from a recent visit to Eastborne.

Last night was one of those absolutely beautiful monsoon evenings in Sedona with gorgeous clouds, light, occasional rain showers mixed with rainbows, etc. While I missed out on the rainbows, I was fortunate to catch some of that gorgeous light bathing the beautifully rugged (and appropriately named) Crimson Cliffs just east of town. These cliffs are essentially an extension of Munds Mountain and really catch the eye of those driving into town along Hwy 179.

A long climb to the top but worth the view.
