Eagle Cliff Falls is a real gem. There is very little foot traffic so I had the falls pretty much to myself for a photoshoot. It is located in Montour Falls, NY. See more at RandyRobertsPhotograpy.com
Lake of the Clouds on a cloudy day. The lake occupies a glaciated valley that runs parallel to the strike of the Precambrian rocks that comprise the area. The cliff is basalt. The view is northeasterly, parallel to the length of the lake and the strike of the rocks. Porcupine Mountain Wilderness State Park in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Land's End (Cornish: Penn an Wlas or Pedn an Wlas) is a headland and small settlement in western Cornwall. It is the most westerly point of mainland Cornwall and England. It is on the Penwith peninsula, about eight miles (13 km) west-southwest of Penzance.
It was commercialised in the early 1990s with lots of new buildings and visitor facilities on the top of the granite cliffs. In those days it was extremely expensive to visit, and I regarded it as a rip-off. These days it is much cheaper to visit and it costs £3 to park all day.
On a clear day it is possible to see the Scilly Isles in the far distance, some 28 miles away.

I used a B+W ND 1000x filter for a 20 second daytime exposure.
The Parque Nacional Cajas (Cajas National Park) is a national park in the highlands of Ecuador. It is located about 30 km west of Cuenca. It covers an area of 285 km² and ranges in altitude between 3100m and 4450m above sea level--here just over 4000 meters or 13,000 feet. It offers a tundra vegetation on a jagged landscape of hills and valleys. The park contains about 270 lakes and lagoons. Glaciers shaped the landscape of the Cajas leaving U-shaped valleys and ravines. The Cajas provides about 60% of the drinking water for the Cuenca area.
Humidity, low temperature, and high altitude with low atmospheric pressure create an ecosystem that accumulates organic material in the soil that is able to retain water. The high grassland ecosystem (páramo) contains plants suitably adapted to this unique ecosystem, many of them endemic to the Cajas.
Cliff Swallows collect mud for nest building. By far, this is the most challenging bird photography I have ever done. And when I think I did that many years ago with a point & shoot too slow to capture anything sharp. You can watch a video on ''Cliff Swallow collecting mud'' and you will understand why. This is a full two days of observing and capturing them with so many challenges with the light, the position of the puddle, the traffic (pedestrian and cars), etc....
"But is it not enough that you are a semblance,
To celebrate a heart leaking the truth?
Whatever stupidity or your indifference?
Mask or decor, hello! I love your beauty. "
— Charles Baudelaire, in "The Flowers of Evil"
"Mais ne suffit-il pas que tu sois l'apparence,
Pour réjouir un coeur qui fuit la vérité?
Qu'importe ta bêtise ou ton indifférence?
Masque ou décor, salut! J'adore ta beauté."
— Charles Baudelaire, in Fleurs du Mal

These cliffs for the western side of Kalae with is southern tip of the island of Hawaiʻi The name comes from Ka Lae in the Hawaiian language which means "the point” though it is commonly spelled as one word, Kalae. In English it is called South Point or South Cape. It is the southernmost point in the United States. A confluence of ocean currents just offshore makes this a popular fishing spots. Fish such as red snapper and ulua are numerous. Reportedly hawksbill turtles and monk seals frequent the cliffs to fish though I didn’t catch a glimpse of either. What I thought was a seal, at first, turned out to be a scuba diver. I did watch plenty of local Hawaiians fishing, however. A few dangled perilously over the edge of the basalt cliff trying to get to the deep holes.
The current beneath the cliffs is swift and dangerous. The current is called the "Halaea Current", named after a chief who was carried off to his death. Authorities recommend not swimming along the cliffs, though I saw a few folks in bathing suits headed for boulder stern beaches.
