The Cliffs of Moher are entirely vertical and the cliff edge is abrupt. On a clear day, the views are tremendous, with the Aran Islands etched on the waters of Galway Bay. From the cliff edge, you can just hear the booming far below as the waves crash and gnaw at the soft shale and sandstone.

With a due-west exposure, sunset is the best time to visit. The weather during our visit was perfection!

The Fulmar is one of my favourite birds. The ease they glide on the cliff breeze is stunning.

During Oregon's rainy winters, I find myself pining for deserts. Since travel isn't happening anytime soon, the next best thing is going through photo archives from previous trips.

For size perspective on these cliffs at Capital Reef, check out the pine trees on the lower left. The straight on sunset light and the crop emphasize the "flatness", but the shadowed cracks are probably 30-50 feet deep. In real life, there is about the same distance or more of cliffs below the image, but they are not as sheer.

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.
