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.

Mesa Verde's (and North America's) largest cliff dwelling. Mesa Verde was the first stop on my summer road trip through southwest Colorado. I was lucky enough to catch a break between tours for this shot. The only way to get up close to these dwellings is to go on a ranger-led tour, during which they discuss some really interesting information about the Ancestral Pueblo people that used to live here. It was discovered in the late 1800s and since then has undergone fairly significant reconstruction. If you go back to look at some photos from the late 1800s and early 1900s you can really see how much they've cleaned it up.

this is a rare photo of cliff popping an ollie over a gap in mahwah new jersey. The best part is the bleached jeans. I also noticed cliff's wearing an Eastern Research t-shirt.
I thought when I shot this image it was a Barn Swallow, which there are several of them around. It turns out it was a Cliff Swallow, part of the flock gathering mud for building nests.
The Cliffs of Kolob tower into the sky, beckoning any climbers foolhardy enough to climb their sheer rock faces.
