Felix Krowinski was a BMC student (and avid photographer). Although I am currently confirming the dates during which he attended BMC, I am sure he was there during the 1947-48 school year as well as fall 1948.
In a somewhat remote location within Gila Wilderness area of southwestern New Mexico are the mysterious Gila Cliff Dwellings.
The alcoves within this mountain canyon are natural features; the canyon was created by thousands of years of undercutting by a meandering creek which ate away at the Gila Conglomerate rock. Additional erosional processes created the alcoves seen here.
Although the archaeological record has been difficult to piece together, it is thought that native peoples of the region periodically used these alcoves and other sites in the region beginning in the 6th century. The structures built within the alcoves were built by the Tularosa Mogollon in the late 13th century.
Their tenure was short-lived, however. By the beginning of the 14th century, the Mogollon abandoned the cliffs and migrated to other parts of the greater region. They are thought to have joined and assimilated with the pueblo cultures that developed in the northwestern part of New Mexico and along the middle Rio Grande valley.

The White Cliffs of Dover are cliffs which form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliffs are part of the North Downs formation. The cliff face, which reaches up to 110 m, owes its striking facade to its composition of chalk accentuated by streaks of black flint. The cliffs spread east and west from the town of Dover in the county of Kent, an ancient and still important English port.

Turn Point Lighthouse, at the tip of Stuart Island Some of the cliffs are white from bird droppings. San Juan Islands, WA.
Even at mid-day the mist obscures these beautiful cliffs, but that doesn't stop people from flying kites, practicing their golf swings, walking along the shore, and simply enjoying a day at the beach.
