I'm ending my Ireland album with my favourite view from this travel (although I'm trying to show some variety...)
Ponta de São Lourenço is one of the last nearly untouched places in Europe. Located in the eastern part of the island, this is the place where a fantastic combination of rocks, sea and nature created one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces.

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top Visitor attractions. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
That would be a tourist info part , from my own experience, January 1 is not a good day to visit as it is COLD & WINDY like ..... I was hoping that I was dressed well enough but still the wind goes right thru you and looking at some people – nuts ( I mean they will be looking for them like old squirrel) . Ireland is beautiful but traveling in this time of the year can be difficult as the most of us in the family are sick. It was really grey day and it took me a while to bring some textures to the sky . This is the northern side of the cliffs , lesser know .
See where this picture was taken, Cliffs of Moher . Ireland [?]
On a charter flight in 2007 on the way back from a Grand Canyon rafting trip, I noticed these scalloped cliffs on a mesa in Nevada. I thought it would be interesting to see them up close, but I didn't get around to it until this year, 2021.
This was taken late in afternoon but the sun was still shining on the rock on the side of the mountain. White River , Arkansas
Whilst on my Virtual Road trip, I’m staying on the east coast for a bit. Doesn’t matter what the weather, nothing will stop me (well, perhaps the small matter of a pandemic!!..) from a trip to Bempton Cliffs for a spot of bird watching.
This shot was taken on the Federation Cliff walkway outside of the area that the tourists normally go.
The Cliffs of Moher (Aillte an Mhothair) located at the south western edge of the Burren region in County Clare.
The bright glow coming from the right hand side of the Evening Sunset which wasn't there long enough to catch many more snaps. Within 5 mins of this shot it lashed down I had to make a dash for cover.

On the Nikon Workshop I attended over the last few days, Adam Burton, one of the tutors, suggested I try this location, which faces south and was a bit more sheltered from the wind. The light was amazing and I managed to get this shot which I think is my favourite from the workshop.
Cabo Espichel (lit. Cape Espichel) is a cape located to the west of Sesimbra, Portugal. Tourists are drawn there due to breathtaking views of its cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The location is famous for the a sanctuary complex (lit. Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel), built extremely close to the edge of the tall cliffs, which includes a church still in use today.
Also famous, are the several dinosaur fossil trackways exposed in some of the now tilted Jurassic strata which form the cape's cliffs. It is said that local superstition interpreted the trackways as the path taken by the Holy Virgin ("Nossa Senhora") when riding a giant mule from the ocean and up the cliffs, which led to the eventual construction of the convent at that location.

O Cabo Espichel está localizado em Portugal, a ocidente da vila de Sesimbra. É delimitado a sul e oeste pelo oceano Atlântico e a norte pela estrada nacional 379 e Ribeira dos Caixeiros. Na sua extremidade, vislumbra-se, vertiginosa e abissal, a Baía dos Lagosteiros.

An unknown girl doing some yoga on the Trolltunga (the troll’s tongue) rock. Trolltunga is reached after an 11 km hike where you climb up 1050 m in total. We camped on the cliff and returned the 11 kms the next day.
The rock is sticking out of a cliff at 1200 m above sealevel. It is overlooking Ringedalsvatnet (at app. 465 m above sealevel), a lake in the municipality of Odda in Hordaland county, Norway. The lake below is the main reservoir for a hydroelectric power station in Tyssedal which provides electricity for the power intensive industries in the nearby town of Odda. This explains the clearly visible waterlevel-marks on the lower parts of the mountains surrounding it. The Ringedals dam all the way in the back is 521 m wide and 33 m high and was constructed between 1910 and 1918.
We were walking along the conglomerate cliffs (a rock of beach sands and gravel fused by some ancient volcanic eruption) that line Mikfik Creek.
Suddenly we were showered by small rocks. We looked up and this bear was climbing the cliff. It was a 50 foot pretty much vertical climb.
Should give you pause the next time you check out the bear enclosure at your local zoo.
In Mesa Verde National Park, the wonderful Cliff Palace.
