The wall as I saw it last Sunday looks impressive and beautiful, with a long and gentle slope, amazing geological lines and the nice tones of sandstone. Maybe the picture needs something else... a pair of seagulls, a glider, dramatic clouds, a dinosaur footprint... Or maybe it doesn't... Tomorrow I'll go back there for dawn and sunrise. Wanna come?

For the Fenced Friday Group. Protective fence to keep people and cows from accidently walking over the cliff edge. Eagle Canyon, Emery County, Utah. HFF!
We recently spent some time exploring a small part of East Devon. This shot was taken in the charming town of Budleigh Salterton. The cliffs here are part of the Jurassic Coast, a 100-mile stretch of beautiful coastline that has World Heritage status (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Coast)
I didn't take this photo today, I took it a couple weeks ago, but if I had, the scene likely would have been different. This morning a man drove his car off the bluff and landed it on the beach at the bottom of the frame. Somehow he walked away with only moderate injuries. If you're interested in reading more about the incident, here's a link to an article: www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jul/29/man-drives-off-bluff-...
With a nice rain last night, the cliff swallows were busy taking advantage of the available mud for building materials on their mud nests.
''Going Going....not yet''
A hazy sunset yesterday.Amazing that this has still managed to cling on.The photo doesn't really show how extreme the angle is.Gravity is weird.
Bijou de l'extrême Sud de la Corse, magnifiée par l'eau turquoise qui l'entoure tel un écrin recelant tant de trésors, Bonifacio est la commune la plus méridionale de France ...
Protégée par ses hautes falaises, la Citadelle, construite sur un cap calcaire incomparable, domine fièrement la mer où les Bouches de Bonifacio séparent la Corse de la Sardaigne italienne.
Riche d'une histoire qui trouve ses sources à l'époque néolithique, Bonifacio a été le siège d'évènements historiques qui ont marqués profondément la ville par ses édifices religieux, son architecture médiévale, ses constructions militaires, son complexe portuaire.
La maison complètement à droite est celle de l'actrice Marie-Josée Nat, née à Bonifacio.
Jewel of the extreme south of Corsica, magnified by the turquoise water that surrounds such a jewel harboring so many treasures, Bonifacio is the southernmost town in France ...
Protected by high cliffs, the Citadel, built on a unique limestone cap, proudly overlooks the sea where the Straits of Bonifacio separates Corsica from Sardinia Italian.
With a history that has its sources in the Neolithic period, Bonifacio was the site of historical events that have profoundly marked the town by its religious buildings, medieval architecture, its military structures, its port complex.
The house fully right is that of the actress Marie-Josée Nat, born in Bonifacio.
It was an amazing trip after I did my last exam in this long semester.
There are lots more photos of this trip, it will be uploaded later.
Thanks
The Cliffs
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.
The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988 and as a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) under the EU Birds Directive in 1989. Included within the designated site are the cliffs, the cliff-top maritime grassland and heath, and a 200 metre zone of open water, directly in front of the cliffs to protect part of the birds' feeding area. The designation covers 200 hectares and highlights the area's importance for wildlife.
The huge limestone cliffs on the East coast of Yorkshire.
Thousands of sea birds nest here every year.
The sight, smell and sound makes for a lasting memory, one I shall never forget!
The last of the sunlight hitting the cliffs of Carn Goose. The view from Cape Cornwall looking towards Sennen cove. A handheld shot with the 7D, ISO 1250 and a IS helped a lot!

The cliffs of Etretat with the Chapelle Notre-Dame de la Garde Etretat and Porte d'Aval on the background.
These gorgeous rock formations overlook the meadow beside Brooks Lake in Bridger-Teton National Forest. The meadow is at 9200 feet and so freezes early although the day temps stay high enough to thaw the mud and make the mile or so trek through the meadow pretty rough going. Had to tramp through the uneven grassy hillocks rather than slip and slide in the muck. So many trees are dead due to pine beetle infestation. What a tragedy.
