Paisagem de novela. Literalmente. Com suas falésias vermelhas e recortadas formando labirintos naturais, as praias de Morro Branco, em Beberibe, no Ceará, já serviram de cenário para algumas produções televisivas. As novelas "Tropicaliente" e "Final Feliz", a minissérie "Sansão e Dalila", o filme "O Noviço Rebelde" e o programa "No Limite" estão na ponta da língua dos guias turísticos que se orgulham de falar da fama alcançada pelo paraíso cinematográfico.
Morro Branco tem uma beleza rara e impressionante, que fica ainda mais realçada nos dias ensolarados. A luz forte e duradoura das proximidades da Linha do Equador ressalta o contraste entre o verde do mar e o vermelho das falésias, de onde saem areias de diversas cores. Elas servem de material para artesãos produzirem os mais diversos objetos decorativos em garrafas.
Com tantas cores, o nome Morro Branco parece não fazer sentido, a princípio. Mas uma duna branca e alta, de onde se tem uma das mais bonitas vistas do pôr-do-sol na praia justifica o batismo.
Em Morro Branco, a principal atração, o Labirinto das Falésias, é acessível a pé. A entrada, a partir do centrinho da vila, é sinalizada. A caminhada por entre os paredões coloridos é curta e pode ser feita sem guia, mas vale a pena contratar um monitor local para ouvir algumas histórias da região e vê-lo formar a aquarela de cores com as areias coletadas de onde não se imagina. A saída do labirinto é no mar, nas barracas que vendem souvenires.
Na Praia das Fontes, vizinha de Morro Branco, mina água das falésias formando, em alguns pontos, pequenas grutas. A maior delas, a Gruta da Mãe D’água, aliás, foi apelidada de Gruta da Açucena, em referência à personagem interpretada pela atriz Carolina Dieckman na novela "Tropicaliente". O local foi cenário para cenas de amor entre Açucena e Vitor (Selton Mello).
Para ter uma visão geral de todas essas belezas com uma pitada de aventura, o passeio de buggy é uma boa pedida. Além de passar pela Praia das Fontes, os bugueiros levam os turistas para dunas de areia móveis, lagoas de água doce, até a Lagoa do Uruaú, um verdadeiro oásis onde turistas param para relaxar e beber uma água de coco diante da paisagem em meio às dunas.

Landscape novel. Literally . With their red and jagged cliffs forming natural labyrinths , the beaches of Morro Branco , Beberibe , Ceará , has served as the setting for some television productions . The novels " Tropicaliente " and " Happy Ending " , the miniseries " Samson and Delilah " , the movie " The Rebel Novice " and the program " The Edge " are the tip of the tongue of the tour guides who take pride in speaking of fame achieved by Paradise film .
Morro Branco has a rare and stunning beauty that is further enhanced on sunny days. The strong and lasting light from near the equator emphasizes the contrast between the green and red of the sea cliffs , from where sands of different colors . They serve as material for craftsmen produce a wide variety of decorative objects in bottles .
With so many colors , the name Morro Branco seems to make sense at first . But a white high dune , where you have one of the most beautiful views of the setting sun on the beach justifies baptism .
In Morro Branco , the main attraction , the Labyrinth of the cliffs , is accessible on foot . The entrance from the little center of the village is signposted . A walk through the colorful walls is short and can be done without a guide , but it is worth hiring a local monitor to hear some stories of the area and see it form the watercolor colors with sands collected where no one imagines . The exit of the maze is in the sea , in the stalls selling souvenirs .
In Praia das Fontes , neighboring Morro Branco , mine water from the cliffs forming , in some points , small caves . The largest, the Grotto of Mother D' water, incidentally, was dubbed the Cave of Azucena , referring to the character played by actress Carolina Dieckman in the novel " Tropicaliente " . The venue was the scene of love scenes between Azucena and Vitor ( Selton Mello ) .
For an overview of all these beauties with a dash of adventure, the buggy ride is a good thing . In addition to passing the Praia das Fontes , the buggy drivers take tourists to the sand dunes of furniture , freshwater ponds , pond until Uruaú , an oasis where tourists stop to relax and drink coconut water on the landscape amid dunes .

Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument in western New Mexico. Well worth the trip through the remote Gila National Forest. Canon T2i with Rokinon 16mm lens.
A little different angle on the Cliffs of Moher on the coast of Ireland. We got lucky with the sun coming out just as we were arriving. I had already taken the "classic" shot when the sun was still under the clouds. As we were traversing along the cliffs, the sun made a brief appearance lighting up the cliff face for this shot.
Along the East River new parks, walking spaces and architecture is going up for the public to enjoy. One piece of architecture is a look out point of Manhattan in Queens. The lookout point is maybe not supposed to be climbed up on but with no signs saying not to do it, it was probably fine. Special thanks to Cansu for directing me from far away on how I should be sitting and where I should be looking.
The slave cliff Traelanipa which you can find on the island Vagar, one of the many islands of the Faroe islands is a mythical place. It´s called the slave cliff, as long ago it was the place where the slaves which got too old or weak had to make their last travel from the cliff into the sea. The whole place is rough and standing there with a pumping heart from a vertigo attack. That's where I took my pano shot.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I'm posting what I hope are previously unposted shots taken during our 2012 trip to Ireland.
I love the wild and rugged Irsh coast.
hope to make it to the upper caves today.
For Sliders Sunday. started with a sand pile, now a mountain.
This large -scale mountain abstract was taken on Baffin Island. I call it large scale because the cliff was about 500-600 meters high.
It was located just across the Mount Asgard on Turner Glacier. This is one of those unplanned photos. I was hiking across the glacier on this cold afternoon, looking for possible compositions to shoot aurora later in the night.
As I was passing by this granite wall, I stopped for a while to put on another layer of clothing. I took a moment to look around and I noticed a warm sunset light illuminating the face of this rock. The combination of cold surrounding and the warm light created interesting view. This cold-warm contrast combined with all converging lines of the cliff caught my eye so I decided to capture it.
A view along the very unstable cliffs at Worbarrow Bay especially after all the recent rain.

One of the most beautiful and serene places I have ever visited even though it is so busy. Durlston is large and there are many places where you can get away from the crowds. I took a walk along the coastal path to the Dancing Ledges 3 miles away and was rewarded with astounding views. As you walk along the top of the cliffs you get stunning views across a blue sea and see many different types of birds. I saw Guillemots, Razorbills, Shag, Fulmar, Gannet, Kittiwake, and Gulls along the cliffs. Other birds present included Linnet, Meadow Pipit, Whitethroat, Kestrel, Raven and Stonechat. I was lucky enough to see a Barking Deer or Muntjac as they are also known.
I also had a little pot of locally made Honeycombe Hash flavoured Purbeck ice cream.

About Durlston Country Park
Situated in the south-east corner of the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset (grid ref SZ 03 77), a mile south of Swanage, lies Durlston Country Park – 280 acres of very special countryside.
The Country Park was established in the 1970s by Dorset County Council, and 30 years of careful management by the Ranger team have resulted in a superb site that everyone can enjoy.
Wildlife and Landscape
Few places in Britain equal Durlston: The bare statistics merely hint at the amazing diversity of wildlife: 33 species of breeding butterfly, over 250 species of bird recorded, 500 wildflowers, 500 moths and thousands of other invertebrates.
Durlston's special qualities stem from a combination of geography, geology, history and careful management which has created a mosaic of nationally important wildlife habitats: sea-cliffs, downs, ancient meadows, hedgerows, woodland, and dry-stone walls – each with their characteristic plants and animals.
History
Wildlife apart, there are plenty of other things to see: The history of Durlston can be detected in the now dry, glacial river valley, the ancient Saxon field systems, two types of quarry – the inland Purbeck Stone Quarr, and the Portland limestone cliff quarry known as Tilly Whim Caves.
High on the ridge remain the footings of a Napoleonic telegraph station, and Anvil Point Lighthouse adds further interest to a visit.
The eminent Victorian, George Burt, left a legacy of fascinating artefacts. These include the 'Great Globe' – 40 tons of Portland limestone, cast-iron bollards from the City, St Martin's and other parts of London, and Durlston Castle itself – all linked by scenic cliff-top paths with Victorian panels quoting poetry and facts of interest.
Facilities
The Visitor Centre
The Visitor Centre is a must for all - recent wildlife sightings, daily and monthly displays all ensure the latest information for visitors.
There are also live pictures from the seabird colony on the cliffs and sound from an underwater hydrophone.
A Ranger is always available to help you make the most of your visit.
Family Activities
Guided Walks and Events
A full programme of events – guided walks, boat trips, talks, children's events and other activities run throughout the year.
Paths and Trails
Four clearly waymarked Trails, each with its own information leaflet provide an ideal introduction to Durlston.
All Trails begin at the Visitor Centre.
A network of Public Footpaths criss-cross the site, with good access to the South-west Coast Path.
Education
Each year, thousands of school children and students use Durlston as an educational resource. A wide range of sessions and other educational facilities are provided by the Rangers to help them get the most from their visit.
Community
Friends of Durlston
The Park has always had close ties with the local community, and the Friends of Durlston organisation provides a focus for goodwill and support.
Over 700 Friends provide an enormous amount of practical help – from running the Visitor Centre counter and updating our wildlife records, to monitoring butterflies and building dry stone walls.
There is also a thriving social side to the 'Friends', with illustrated talks held monthly and other events throughout the year.
Achievements
Awards
The County Council's policy of 'Conservation for Public Enjoyment' has formed the basis of the Park's management for 30 years.
This, combined with the support of the Friends, has led to both organisations being jointly awarded the prestigious English Nature SSSI Award.
In 2006 Durlston recieved both the Royal Horticultural Society's 'Conservation and Environment Award' for outstanding conservation work
In 2008, for the third time, we were awarded the 'Green Flag', recognising the quality of amenities for visitors.
In 2010, Durlston was voted 2nd in a competition to find Britain's Favourite Park, organised by the Keep Briatin Tidy Group.
Designations
As an internationally important site for wildlife and geology, Durlston is protected by a host of designations. Durlston forms part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Purbeck Heritage Coast (which holds a Council of Europe Diploma for it's management).
Most of the Park is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and since 1997, a Special Area of Conservation. Most of the Park is also designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance, while in 1997, the Dorset and East Devon Coast was awarded World Heritage Site status for its geological importance.
In June 2008, Durlston was awarded National Nature Reserve Status by Natural England in recognition of the national importance of Durlston for wildlife.
This long list of accolades and designations that highlight the site's importance and provide a reminder of the great care that must be taken to conserve this wonderful facility for future generations.
At any time of year, a visit to Durlston is a memorable experience. Despite its popularity, there is still the peace and quiet to enjoy the natural splendours of the area, and no matter how many times you visit there is always something new to see and enjoy.
