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.
A permit is required for hiking in Coyote Buttes North (the Wave), Coyote Buttes South, and for overnight trips within Paria Canyon.

The 4-star Hotel Delfino is built into the cliffs on the stunning Sorrento Peninsula (about 10 mins from central Sorrento). We loved all the small sunbathing platforms staggered down the cliff face and the absolutely amazing views across the sea to the island of Capri.
Le Scogliere di Moher (Aillte an Mhothair, che significa "scogliere della rovina", in gaelico irlandese e, spesso non tradotto, Cliffs of Moher in inglese) sono impressionanti e suggestive scogliere a picco sul mare situate vicino al villaggio di Doolin sulla costa occidentale del Clare, contea della Repubblica d'Irlanda. Meta turistica celebre in tutto il mondo, è uno dei luoghi più visitati dell'isola d'Irlanda. Il punto più alto delle scogliere, che sono lunghe circa otto chilometri, raggiunge i 214 metri d'altezza sull'Oceano Atlantico, mentre la propaggine più meridionale, Hag's Head ("Capo Hag") scende a 120 metri.
Nonostante siano un luogo altamente turistico e ben attrezzato con centro visitatori e parcheggio gestito dalla Shannon Heritage (che gestisce anche la torre O'Brien, un piccolo edificio su una parte della scogliera), ci sono numerosi sentieri non chiusi che entrano in proprietà private e che passano spesso sul precipizio, regolarmente battuti dai visitatori nonostante sia formalmente vietato.
Le scogliere sono situate sulla parte nord-occidentale della costa del Clare, in piena Irlanda occidentale. Possono essere raggiunte via automobile da Galway percorrendo la strada del Burren che passa per Lisdoonvarna fino a Doolin e di lì la stradina panoramica, dato che il villaggio è poco prima delle falesie, oppure dalla strada proveniente da Liscannor (da cui arrivano le strade principali da Ennis e Kilkee).

In the late 1950's British singer, actor and Sir Cliff Richard (1940) was known as Britain's answer to Elvis Presley. The ‘Cliff Richard musical’ became the number one cinema box office attraction in Britain for both 1962 and 1963.

Taken at the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare Ireland. A very beautiful place, especially with the sun shining. Was amazing seeing so many people out and about enjoying the great weather.
This was 3 shots combined in Photomatix and touched up in PS.

Climb up the bluffs overlooking Clachtoll Beach in Assynt and this is the view you get as a reward. The water really was this azure-green color. It's quite a spectacular place.
This was shot using my 70-200 mm lens and zoomed out to 175 mm. That lens is not the easiest thing to carry when climbing small cliffs, but the effort was worthwhile I think.
Red Rock Cliffs surrounding the Glen Eyrie Castle, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Glen Eyrie is a 67-room English Tudor-style castle built by General William Jackson Palmer, the founder of Colorado Springs (and founder of the Rio Grande Railroad). This house was his dream home and is near Colorado Springs in the northwest foothills north of the Garden of the Gods rock formations (now a city park). After building a large carriage house, where the family lived for a time, Palmer and his wife Mary (Queen) Mellen built a 22-room frame house on the 800-acre estate. This house was remodeled in 1881 to include a tower and additional rooms, and made to resemble a stone castle, reminiscent of those native to the England from which Mrs. Palmer hailed.
Queen Palmer, at age twenty-one, opened the first public school in Colorado Springs in November, 1871. The Palmers had three daughters, Elsie, Dorothy, and Marjory.
In 1880, Mrs. Palmer suffered a mild heart attack and was advised to move to a lower altitude. She and the girls moved to the East Coast and then to England where General Palmer visited them as often as he could. Queen died on December 28, 1894, at the age of 44. In sorrow, General Palmer went to England to return Mrs. Palmer's remains and the girls to Colorado Springs.
Glen Eyrie is a 67-room English Tudor-style castle with 24 fireplaces. The castle was advanced for its time, featuring a primitive intercom system, and a chimney system that would hold the smoke until the wind was blowing in the right direction to take the smoke out of the valley. Glen Eyrie is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The castle is now owned by The Navigators. The general public is allowed on its grounds Monday through Thursday (9-4) to visit its bookstore, located at the Carriage House, or to hike its many trails. Tours of Glen Eyrie Castle are available to the public and require an advance reservation.
Events hosted at the castle include English and Victorian teas throughout the week and Christmas Madrigal Banquets beginning after Thanksgiving.
Glen Eyrie is also a conference and retreat center that puts on many Christian conferences and programs. The property in the enclosed valley is also available for use by groups for meetings, receptions, and retreats. Herds of bighorn sheep, deer and wild turkey may often be found grazing on the grounds.

Cliff Design Awards today...this one won first place. "I want to thank all the photons that participated"
Petrochelidon pyrrhonata,
Avila Beach, California
It looks like war, but I think it began with mating, while others nearby were collecting grass clippings for the mud nests. During the grass- or mud-collecting, there is much wing fluttering, and it seems like the "excitement" of one activity blends into the excitement of the other. But here there are actually three birds, with the one on top attacking what I believe is the male in the pair below it. It all happens very fast in swallow world.
