The upper meadows area above Donald Lake as you traverse up through the cliff bands towards the ridge line. Goregeous rock and morning light.
I'm ending my Ireland album with my favourite view from this travel (although I'm trying to show some variety...)
Pueblo cliff dwelling - Spruce Tree House at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. Constructed between 1211 and 1278 AD by the ancestors of the Pueblo people. There are 130 rooms and perhaps 60-80 people once lived here. This is the third largest of the dwellings in the Park. The book, House of Rain by Craig Childs, is a fascinating read about the civilizations that lived in the southwest, including at Mesa Verde.

These rocks methinks were once a bridge type support for tipping waste from the nearby quarry down the cliffside. The path to this place is currently closed as at December 2013.

Thanks Merri Harrison-Quarles for description:
The Arbel Cliff, visible to a great distance, provides a magnificent panoramic view of the Sea of Galilee, the Golan and Mount Hermon. This great cliff, one of the most impressive sites in Israel, climbs to a height of almost 400 meters. In the caves found in the cliff lived people as early as prehistoric times and later on soldiers gathered in them during the fight against King Herod. In a later period, these caves turned into a great fortress, with secret passages, halls and water cisterns. Near the fortress were found the remains of a synagogue from the second century BC.
