Watching the first light of the morning sun hitting the mountain peaks in the far distance was simply amazing <3
Cliff Flycatcher presents beautiful rufous colouring, distinctive for the Tyrant Flycatchers family. This species was a lifer for me on my Brazil trip; even though it has a wide range through South America, I had not seen it on previous visits to the continent. (eBird describes it as “widespread though rarely very numerous.”) This bird was seen in the Teresópolis area of Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos in Rio de Janeiro State.
Here is another coastal shot from Sunset Cliffs. I know the color may seem extreme, but I was trying to go for a dreamier painting like feel on this one. The light was very interesting as the bank of fog sat off the coast and diffused the light. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!
The base of Bempton cliffs at the end of Filey bay. You can just make out lots of Gannets flying around the cliffs.

Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin und Liscannor.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Am 8. Februar 2007 wurde das Besucherzentrum mit befestigten Gehwegen fertiggestellt. Der etwa 200 Meter lange Teil des Besucherwegs, der sich bis zum O’Brien’s Tower erstreckt, wurde aus Sicherheitsgründen seitlich durch bis zu 1,40 Meter hohe Steinplatten begrenzt, so dass die Besucher nicht mehr direkt bis an das Cliff herantreten können. Seitdem ist die Sicht auf die Klippen eingeschränkt.
The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.[2][3] They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.
Impresionantes siempre mis paseos por los acantilados del parque Natural de la Sierra Helada.
Lovely walks around these impressive local cliffs when I need to dissconect from my daily routines.

The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway / Rheilffordd y Graig opened on 1 August 1896. It is a 778 feet (237 m) long funicular railway in Aberystwyth and is the second longest funicular railway in the British Isles, after the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Since November 1987, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has been a Grade II listed structure.
The Cliff Railway was developed as an element of Constitution Hill, a Victorian business venture by the Aberystwyth Improvement Company in the 1890s. The funicular took visitors to the top of the hill, where attractions such as a camera obscura were established. The cliff railway was originally a water balance system, but it was electrified during 1921
The cliff railway was originally a cable-drawn balanced system moving a pair of cars, with a maximum capacity of 30 passengers, permanently connected via a continuous cable.[1] When opened, it operated using a water balance system, which used a Worthington Corporation compound steam engine water pump housed in the lower station to move water to the upper station. Each passenger car had a tank in their chassis that could hold 4 tonnes of water. Water was added to the tank of the top car, which descended under gravity, hauling the lighter lower car on the parallel track to the top station.
The railway is straight, ascending about 430 feet (130 m) over a horizontal distance of 778 feet (237 m), a maximum gradient of more than 1:2 (50 per cent). The gauge is 4 ft 8 in (1,422 mm), slightly narrower than standard gauge, and laid on timber sleepers.
In 1921, the railway was electrified using a 41 kW ATB AG [de] Morley DC motor. In 1934, after changes to the town’s electricity supply, a mercury arc rectifier and transformer were installed in the lower station to provide a 440V DC power output. The cars are moved using a high-tensile steel cable attached to both vehicles. It passes around a drum, mounted on a vertical axis between the tracks at the top. The motor drives the drum controlled by an automated cut-off which stops the motor and the cars when required.
