The stony beach of Rügens eastern coast is a wonderful place. There are a lot of weathered groyne and boulders. 😃 I love that scenery
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.
Lads will be lads. This bunch of lads were having a whale of a time jumping into the sea at Manarola. Quite surprisingly a couple of spectators tried to stop them, but as you would imagine the lads knew best. Thankfully they all seemed well as they retired for the night.
Standing 214m (702 feet) at their highest point they stretch for 8 kilometres (5 miles) along the Atlantic coast of County Clare in the west of Ireland. From the Cliffs of Moher on a clear day one can see the Aran Islands and Galway Bay, as well as the Twelve Pins and the Maum Turk mountains in Connemara, Loop Head to the south and the Dingle Peninsula and Blasket Islands in Kerry. O’Brien’s Tower stands near the highest point and has served as a viewing point for visitors for hundreds of years.
UP Big Boy 4014 runs along the banks of the Missouri River as the train approaches it's stop in Herman Missouri. Running as UP PSLJC-30 the train would spend the rest of the day along the banks of the Missouri River on its way to its overnight stop in Jefferson City Missouri.
Barriga again, this time from the cliff.

I always love to sit near a rain puddle to see what birds come to drink. Very happy to see these Cliff Swallows come to the puddle - but not to drink. They were gathering mud to build their nests. It could be they might be repairing existing nests, because it seems to me it is pretty late in the season already. I don't really know.
In Capitola where the land meets the sea--it all happens very abruptly, with a cattail laden cliff plunging quickly to the fog engulfed shoreline. One remembers the Catcher in the Rye.

Diverse fractures and surface patterns on the sandstone walls of a Utah canyon.
On this late-October day, a cold one in this part of Utah, our little band of photographers took a long drive on a gravel road. Eventually we stopped at an inauspicious pull-out — I don’t recall a sign, though there may have been a small one. We loaded packs and set out across some dry terrain, and soon entered a small canyon at the base of tall hills, a canyon that looked much like many other such canyons.
This was not a large canyon, and our walk into it was shorter than the walk into some longer canyons we had investigated. It was also a rough little place, and it did not give up photographs as easily as some other more-picturesque places. Near the far point in our exploration we came upon this remarkable bit of sandstone canyon wall, with patterns on the surface of the rock that reminded me of sunbursts.
