Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east.
This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, containing a variety of diverse landscapes from the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 7,100 feet.
Visitors will enjoy scenic views of towering cliffs and deep canyons. Paria Canyon offers an outstanding three to five day wilderness backpacking experience. The colorful swirls of cross-bedded sandstone in Coyote Buttes are an international hiking destination. There are also opportunities to view wildlife, including California condors. There are two developed campgrounds just outside the Monument: Stateline and White House. Dispersed camping is allowed outside the wilderness area in previously disturbed areas.
The deep canyons, tall cliffs and pinon covered uplands were backdrops for scenes from Billy the Kid (1941) and later the Outlaw Josie Wales with Clint Eastwood (1976).

And when the folk there spy me,
They will all come up to me,
With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney!’
And dance like a wave of the sea.

The curving is a 'fish-eye' effect that comes from a modern panorama function, with the real cliff without meander during this portion. Meanders whip-crack downriver after the abris de Fontales.
Prehistoric reindeer runs existed pre prehistory in the sense that prior to archaic homo sapiens there were reindeer runs and prior to the arrival of Neanderthals there were runs and prior to the first hominids out of Africa - homo erectus - there were reindeer runs. Reindeer have been acquiring experience about their habitat loops for a very long time, so that each herd will carry spacial/emotional memories of good landscapes and directions and spacial/emotional memories of bad landscapes and directions. This section of cliff will have been memorized into their collective consciousness (maybe Jung missed his vocation as an ethologist!). Prehistoric man joined a list of animals that understood themselves as predators of reindeer. A pack of cave lions, wolves or Panthera leo spelaea would agitate the herd with a level of fear no different from that posed by men with spears. Reindeer have to run and provide a blurred target. They will know from long before hominids arrival that this strategy of galloping can go wrong if they get too close to a very long cliff. In many ways, a short quick cliff which may not have registered in the mental map of the herd has more potential as a hunting 'tool'.
The first panorama below shows the scale of the barrier.
The second panorama, below, is taken further to the right (west) and shows a passage diagonal up to the top of the plateau. This natural path would certainly serve hominids keen to get early information about the exact route taken by a herd. The prehistoric abris de Fontales is at its base. A herd leaves an odour to follow, and the idea that a long term Magdalenian habitation (or workplace) for semi nomadic peoples might be situated on an odorous diagonal may seem absurd. The text associated with the image offers arguments as to why this route would not have been favored by reindeer herds.
As a change from Gannets (I have plenty more shots of those!), here are a few views of the Cliffs at Bempton. The RSPB nature reserve runs along a stretch of coastline, a couple of miles north of Flamborough Head and between the seaside resorts of Filey and Bridlington. There are several viewing platforms, looking over the cliffs and seabird colonies. The area is also rich in wildflowers.
More shots below - the main shot above, taken when we arrived, was taken with the 14-140. All the shots in the comment were taken with the 100-300 as by then, the clouds of tiny flies made me reluctant to change lenses.
One can see the dramatic surf below the cliff. I hear it is quite popular to surfers although the thunderous waves are a bit too dangerous for me. Opposite this cliff is the Uluwatu temple, one of the most picturesque temples of Bali.

I found these pics disturbing for some reason. Then I realized - faces in the rocks. I added one troll - there are plenty more.

"when a man lies he murders some part of the world
these are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
all this I cannot bear to witness any longer
cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home"... Cliff Burton - To Live is To die
Burton nació en el Eden Hospital localizado en San Francisco, California. A los 6 años comenzó a tocar el piano. Recibió lecciones de bajo por dos años (1978-1980).
Después de graduarse en la preparatoria en 1980, entro en Trauma, un grupo más o menos importante en el area de la bahía de San Francisco en el cual grabo algunos demos como "Such a Shame", que puede ser encontrado en Metal Massacre II, compilación de Metal Blade Records. Sin embargo antes de Trauma ya traía alguna experiencia tocando con A.D. 2 Millón, Agents of Misfortune o EZ Street, agrupaciones en las cuales se hacia notar la violencia con la que tocaba.
En 1982, cuando Cliff Burton tocaba con Trauma en el Whiskey A Go Go, los miembre de Metallica James Hetfield y Lars Ulrich se prendaron de la manera como atacaba su instrumento, y con ganas de desprenderse de Ron McGovney, decidieron que Burton era el hombre que necesitaban. Sin embargo este no aceptó tan fácilmente, así que empezó una fase de llamadas telefónicas y ensayos.En algunos meses Burton convenció a Metallica para que dejaran Los Angeles, su base de operaciones, y se establecieran definitivamente en San Francisco.
Asi, sin cortarse el fleco del cabello a la usanza ochentera, influido por el estilo de Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Stanley Clarke, Lemmy Kilmister, la música de Glenn Danzig, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, R.E.M. y Aerosmith, Burton se incorporaba a la época en la cual Metallica impresionaba a los fans de Ozzy Osbourne y la crítica comenzaba a apreciarlos. Sus impresionantes bajeos, sin más de cuatro cuerdas ni malabares con el instrumento, en The Call of Ktulu y For Whom the Bells Tolls u Orión, incorporaban la distorsión eléctrica a la armonía del bajo.
La madrugada del 27 de septiembre, en la localidad sueca de Ljungby, el conductor del autobús en el cual viajaba Metallica perdió el control en el asfalto congelado de la carretera y volcó, dando varias vueltas de campana antes de detenerse. Cliff Burton, según coinciden algunas versiones, intento salir justo del lado donde volcó el vehículo. De repente, Kirk voltea y ve una imagen que no iba a olvidar por el resto de su vida, las manos de Cliff saliendo debajo del vehiculo, Una vez que pudieron recuperarse y que la asistencia médica había llegado, levantaron el vehículo y confirmamaron lo que Kirk habia visto, debajo encontraron a Burton. El informe mencionaba compresión torácica y contusión pulmonar. Las pesquisas determinaron que el conductor, contra la creencia, no iba borracho ni dormido.

That one time I spent night up on these cliffs.
As I was getting a ride over to the top of Beachy Head, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I thought I was at the end of the world, both the sky and the ocean blended in perfectly together and I could not tell them apart, I can't even describe it, such a phenomenal and incredible experience.
Once the bus got close to the cliff, you could tell it apart better. As I chose to stay overnight, I made sure there was little to no wind (I got lucky with 0mph to 3mph towards morning) so the waves were more or less non-existent.
Hope you like the shot
Here are some white cliffs that I was driving by. I thought I would stop and take a picture. It looked like chalk or limestone but I heard it was actually Rhyolite Tuff from ancient volcanic eruptions, it did leave off a fine powder resembling ash.
