Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin (nördlich der Klippen) und Liscannor (südlich der Klippen).
Die meist von Pflanzen überwucherten Ruinen eines befestigten Wohnsitzes eines Häuptlings werden in der Provinz Munster, so auch im County Clare, häufig mothar (gesprochen „moher“) genannt. Auf der Klippe nahe Hag’s Head an der Westküste des County Clare stand einst ein solches Steinfort, genannt Moher O’Ruan („O’Ruans zerfallenes Fort“). Diese Landmarke gab den Klippen ihren Namen.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Der O’Brien’s Tower liegt etwa auf der Hälfte der Uferstrecke und entstand 1835 im Auftrag von Sir Cornellius O’Brien als Wachturm. Bei guter Sicht sind von dort aus die Aran Islands und mitunter auch die Galway Bay zu sehen. Jenseits dieser liegen die Maumturk-Berge in Connemara.
Am Kliff leben fast ausschließlich Vögel; eine Zählung ergab 30.000 Tiere in 30 Arten. Die interessantesten sind die atlantischen Papageientaucher, die in großen Kolonien an isolierten Stellen des Kliffs und auf Goat Island leben. Des Weiteren gibt es Falken, Möwen, Krähenscharben, Trottellummen und Alke.

I have never leaned on anyone
I have stood strong in myself and in my being
And been growing as a human being
And why haven't I leaned on anyone, well
Because my surroundings have been like it has been from the very start
The Viking Queen was born from day one
Acknowledging the fact that I can be my own cliff has been important for me and how I have dealt with things
Being aware of that I am my own cliff is also an important thing for my own growth
We often act and do things without thinking, was this a good thing or what
You will find respect for yourself if you dwell a bit and look within and find the resources you actually have
But realizing that others 'out there' also can be a Cliff in my life is pretty awesome
Two Cliffs may become one
How cool isn't that
Staying strong is a different experience when you are more than one, I would think
I have never experienced that before
Often we don't even realize that we have Cliffs in our lives
I cherish what I have and look forward to the future cliff 'out there'
Siamo nel Parco nazionale di Mesa Verde, nella regione di Montezuma in Colorado. Qui sorgono i resti di antichi insediamenti dei cosidetti Popoli Ancestrali, gli Anasazi. Queste costruzioni risalgono a circa 800 anni fa, ma questi popoli, di cui si sa molto poco, erano già presenti in in questi luoghi dal VI secolo d.c.
I villaggi, costruiti in pietra e fango, erano posizionati in anfratti di roccia che proteggevano dalle intemperie ed erano difficili da espugnare. Abbandonati poi non si sa per quale motivo sono stati riscoperti nel sec. XVI dagli indiani Navajos che li hanno abitati per diversi secoli. Il più scenografico è chiamato Cliff Palace ed è quello raffigurato nella mia foto.
Questo parco è stato dichiarato Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Unesco nel 1978.

Bempton Cliffs, on the spectacular Yorkshire coast, is home to one of the UK's top wildlife spectacles. Around half a million seabirds gather here between March and October to raise a family on towering chalk cliffs which overlook the North Sea. RSPB
View from the Bula Cliff towards the southern part of the Iskar Gorge with the Kaishov Peak in the foreground and Rila Mountains and Vitosha Mountain on the horizon.
A Cliff Swallow is seen at the Frenchman River near Val Marie in Grasslands National Park, southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada. As well as on cliffs and buildings, this species also establishes breeding colonies of its mud nests at bridges. This individual was one among dozens that were preening after roosting overnight, before beginning to feed as insects became active.
in Snaefellsns penisula, Rauðfeldsgjá Gorge is a natural formation, narrow fissure several hundreds of meters into the mountain, with a little river at the bottom After about 70 meters you meet a little waterfall and have to do some climbing to get farther into the mountain. That is as far as I have gone. Still it is incredible with the narrow walls several tens of meters high around you.

Stu and I visited Mesa Verde 17 years ago. This is an AI generated picture of Cliff Palace. This was such an amazing trip!
Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde
Mesa Verde lights up a display once a year and we were lucky enough to have Cliff Palace lit this year. We arrived a little after 2:00PM to get a good setup spot and since we were the 1st ones arriving it was prime. By twilight time there must have been well over 100 photographers and tripods. This shot is composed of 4 vertical shots stitched together in a panorama method.
Taken at Bempton Cliffs.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
This was our first travel trip outside of North America. The beauty of Ireland is clear in this rugged shot on a grey day looking over the Atlantic Ocean. It was blustery as our group explored the cliffs but it's scenery you will never forget.
