What appears to be perilously close to the 300’ or so drop to the bottom of the cliff, is a freight train with 66559 in charge of loaded potash wagons destined for Middlesbrough from the Boulby potash mine (6F32). Saltburn, North Yorkshire.
It's almost freezing in the mornings and these little kestrels must really feel it. Taken just as the sun finally crested the cliff behind me and gave this little lady some relief.

Most visitors walk up the main track, but there are also various dry stream beds and rough trails that pass through the thorny Sweet Briar leading to other parts of the cliffs. There is a NZ$5 fee to enter the property (take exact change - honesty box system).
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

Vertical cliffs, Faroe Islands.
Faroe Islands are rugged and rocky, the coasts are mostly cliffs. Spectacular dramatic sea cliffs are a common element of the coast, with some of the highest in the world. An other common element is water. Rivers and streams are continuously fed by frequent rains caused by an instable climate originated from the position of the archipelago, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, in the path of depressions moving north-east. Stunning waterfalls can be found everywhere on the islands creating a suggestive, fashinating and wild landscape.

Looking at part of the riverbank during a leisurely tourist boat trip down the Li River near Guilin in the summer of 1984. Rugged limestone cliffs in the left-background contrast with what might at first glance appear to be a camouflaged Nazi Atlantic Wall gun embrasure c.1944 behind verdant foliage in the right-foreground. But this is an example of how the rock has fractured along straight-line bedding planes, perhaps being undermined water flowing along its foot at some undetermined time in the past. The resulting rubble on which the large fronded trees, bushes and other vegetation are sitting at the base of the cliff appears to show good examples of angular blocks that subsequently have probably fallen directly from the cliffs above. A possible cave and balcony railing(?) are above and to the left of the 'gun position'.
Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate types such as limestone or dolomite. Subterranean rivers, cave systems and extravagant surface deformation due to weathering (all found along the Li River) are examples of some of the features found in karst scenery.
South China Karst, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the world’s most spectacular examples of humid tropical to sub-tropical karst landscapes. It is a serial site spread over the provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan and Chongqing and covers 176,228 hectares. It contains the most significant types of karst landforms, including tower karst, pinnacle karst and cone karst formations, along with other spectacular characteristics such as natural bridges, gorges and large cave systems. The Guilin Karst component in Guangxi province is located within Lijiang National Park and contains fenglin (tower) and fengcong (cone) karst formations.

Sharonville, OH. September 28, 2019. Shot on a Nikon F6 and Kodak Ektar 100. Developed and scanned by The Darkroom.
Took myself off for a short drive this evening round the coast to'get my head shired' after a hard day's work and stopped to see the evening sun on Dunluce castle. It was only as I turned to leave that I noticed the low sun had cast a huge castle shadow on the cliff on the other side of the inlet.
Nicer on black.
I've hesitated on uploading this since I took it because it came out like a poor imitation of this excellent shot from Sutanto, and the framing is almost identical to this black and white version I already uploaded here. But what can I say, I still like the shot and I haven't uploaded anything for almost a week!
There's not a lot else to say about it - I shot with the white balance set to Incandescent which added a lot of blue to it, so much so that I actually backed it off a bit and desaturated the shot. If I could be bothered to figure out what I was doing I could try processing the RAW file to get it just right, but that's not going to happen just now.
For the record, the building perched up on the rocks in Cliff House, home of a nice restaurant (the food can be seen here.) This was shot along Ocean Beach looking north just a while after sunset.
