This is the view from the Highland View (Overlook No. 6) along Rim Rock Drive at the Colorado National Monument. I love this view over Monument Canyon with the Book Cliffs in the distance. Found in western Colorado and eastern Utah, the Book Cliffs are a series of desert mountains and cliffs, so named because the Cretaceous sandstone that caps many of the buttes resemble a shelf of books.
Located high on the Colorado Plateau near Grand Junction, the Colorado National Monument was established in 1911 and is managed by the National Park Service.
Named after the shape and tartan like patterns on the 105 metre cliffs, Kilt Rock is part of the beautiful and diverse topography on the isle of Skye.

Cliff Quarry at Crich is now abandoned and up for sale apart from the section used by the tramway museum. This quarry was once owned by the Clay Cross Company and supplied stone to the Ambergate limekilns via a metre gauge railway built by George Stephenson.

It would have been stupid to have ignored the warning of this fence. As brittle as the wood might be and as rusty as the barbed wire might be - it was still a deterrent.
Push beyond and there was danger - the path just fell away to the rocky beach beneath and it was quite a drop.
We get a lot of cliff erosion around the Gower.

The Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway is a water-powered funicular railway joining the twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth on the rugged coast of North Devon.
Lynton is a small town on the Exmoor coast in Devon, England standing on top of the cliffs above the picturesque harbour village of Lynmouth, to which it is connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Lynton was once the terminus for the narrow-gauge Lynton & Barnstaple Railway, which served both towns.
The two communities are governed at local level by Lynton and Lynmouth Town Council.
In Lynton is the Parish Church of St Mary, which stands overlooking the sea, surrounded by shops and hotels. The tower is mainly 13th century but the church itself has been enlarged and altered — most notably in 1741, when the nave was rebuilt, and later in Victorian times.
Many of the town's buildings were constructed in the latter part of the 19th century and the early 20th century. The town hall was given to the town by Sir George Newnes, Bart., a major benefactor of the town; it was opened on 15 August 1900. He also gave the town the Congregational church on Lee Road.

"Don't be overly concerned with technical perfection in quick-shooting situations, different standards apply. A good picture may be lurking behind an apparent error. Cosmetic defects—fuzziness, less-than-ideal exposure, awkward composition—can actually be desirable. Such imperfections speak the human, gritty, momentary... visual language that sets candid photography apart."
Read this some where & I take this quote as granted for this shot :)
