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.
This photo was taken by a KИEB-60 medium format film camera with a МС BEГA-26B 2.8/120mm lens and Tiffen 67mm Orange 15 filter + adapter using Rollei Retro 80S film, the negative scanned by an Epson Perfection V600 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
The 12.28 6F34 Boulby Mine to Middlesbrough potash working tops Warsett Hill working hard as the sun breaks through a bank of mist with perfect timing. Skinningrove steel works is visible above the rear of the train.
The wall in front of the loco once supported the loading drop from Hunt Cliff mine. The fan house drew fresh air into the workings.
Cliffs and Gum trees on the River Murray, downstream from Waikerie in South Australia.
In this photo I used Topaz Simplify to make one copy in a painterly style. I put that copy on top of the original photo as layers in Photoshop.
I set the blend mode to dissolve in the painterly copy and reduced the opacity to about 40% for this subtle painterly look. Soft light blend mode gives a similar look.

From Wikipedia: "The Jasmund National Park is a nature reserve in the Jasmund peninsula, in the northeast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is famous for the largest chalk cliffs of Germany, the so called Königsstuhl (German = "king's chair"). These cliffs are up to 161 m high above the Baltic Sea. The undisturbed beech forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park." see more on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmund_National_Park or de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Jasmund

This multi-storied ruin, the best-known cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde, is located in the largest alcove in the center of the Great Mesa. It was south- and southwest-facing, providing greater warmth from the sun in the winter. Dating back more than 700 years, the dwelling is constructed of sandstone, wooden beams, and mortar. Many of the rooms were brightly painted. Cliff Palace was home to approximately 125 people, but was likely an important part of a larger community of sixty nearby pueblos, which housed a combined six hundred or more people. With 23 kivas and 150 rooms, Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park.
Mesa Verde National Park is a National Park and World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado. It protects some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan archeological sites in the United States.
The park was created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It occupies 52,485 acres (21,240 ha) near the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, and with more than 4,300 sites, including 600 cliff dwellings, it is the largest archeological preserve in the US. Mesa Verde (Spanish for "green table") is best known for structures such as Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America.
Starting c. 7500 BCE, Mesa Verde was seasonally inhabited by a group of nomadic Paleo-Indians known as the Foothills Mountain Complex. The variety of projectile points found in the region indicates they were influenced by surrounding areas, including the Great Basin, the San Juan Basin, and the Rio Grande Valley. Later, Archaic people established semi-permanent rockshelters in and around the mesa. By 1000 BCE, the Basketmaker culture emerged from the local Archaic population, and by 750 CE the Ancestral Puebloans had developed from the Basketmaker culture.
The Mesa Verdeans survived using a combination of hunting, gathering, and subsistence farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They built the mesa's first pueblos sometime after 650, and by the end of the 12th century they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the park is best known. By 1285, following a period of social and environmental instability driven by a series of severe and prolonged droughts, they abandoned the area and moved south to locations in Arizona and New Mexico, including Rio Chama, Pajarito Plateau, and Santa Fe.

Out yesterday with Pauls Pix 53 and ianbartlett for a 12 mile circular walk from Hastings to Fairlight.
This is looking back ... we walked along the cliff tops and down and up the sides of the glens. On another day, we might walk the shoreline, but will have be well certain of the tide.

The Cliffs of Moher (/ˈmoʊ(h)ər/; Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres. At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, eight kilometres to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor (6 km south) and Doolin (7 km north).
From the cliffs, and from atop the tower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south. The cliffs rank among the most visited tourist sites in Ireland, with around 1.5 million visits per annum.
