The Cliffs of Moher are on the western coast of Ireland. It cannot be told by this photo but these cliffs are the highest in Europe, higher than the Ocean Fiords of Norway.
Aftermath of a major cliff fall at Bindon Cliff near Axmouth last Friday. Note the partially submerged trees.

Sunrise at the Paradise Park Cliffs. I noticed that there were some rocks that formed a waterfall when the water receded. I just love the contrast between the green seaweed stuff on the rocks and the water flowing. I’m using this as my wallpaper.

Exploring around my favorite hiking trails in the misty fog, I found the contrast of dull slate gray nestled with the wet fall foliage to be quite pleasing!
Listen carefully, the only sound you can hear is peace and quiet... oh, and a slight trickle of water can be heard.

I'm posting this to show the scale of these rock formations. These cliffs tower over the large tour boat at its base. They are made up of predominantly limestone. There are stone quarries near Cassis that mine and ship this stone all over the world. The stone is in great demand due to its very light color and high durability. It was used in the base of the Statue of Liberty.
Picture taken on Coach trip around the island. That is a road clinging to the side of the cliff. Luckily there are tunnels through the mountain so you dont have to use these roads, however on one occasion the coach did choose to take the scenic route.

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.

at Railay East, Krabi, Thailand. It's not a very clear shot of the rock climber (in red shirt, white pants) but I wanted to show this popular activity in the Krabi area.
