Many years ago Cliff worked on the Apache Software Foundation. On a business trip while contemplating the impact of Martin Luther King Cliff decided to change direction and focus in his life.
Cliff formed a non-profit (www.literacybridge.org/) and decided to tackle poverty in Northern Ghana were millions live well below the poverty line on less than a $1 a day. Cliff created a Talking Book (when your poor you are often illiterate) that allowed him to reach villagers with messages designed to improve lives with farming techniques and save lives with basic health procedures.
Years later he has partnered with UNICEF and is impacting 1000s of lives. Farmers increase yields and win national Ghana farmer recognition awards and families spend 6 hours a week listening to messages on the Talking Book.
You should consider donating to his great cause.
Dramatic cliffs of 2.8-million-year-old deep-marine Mangweka Mudstone form an imposing backdrop along middle reaches of the Rangitikei River. Bands of hard concretions, much the same as those at the nearby Whitecliffs Boulders, protrude from the cliff face. The cliffs also contain thin volcanic ash layers from large eruptions in the then-active Tauranga-Kaimai Volcanic Centre, and thin sandstone beds that represent submarine landslide and storm deposits.
Sacramento Delta, Northern California
No memory of posting this before. Taken back in August 12th of 2007. I bet it was a hot summer day on the delta.
This sign screamed, "Somebody, clean me!"

During my time in San Diego visiting my sister, we visited Sunset Cliffs. I went back a few times by myself to sit. What a lovely place. We also loved the Little Lion Cafe close by for a killer breakfast.

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 Cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. The closest settlements are Liscannor (6 km south) and Doolin (7 km north).
Gannet taking off at Bempton Cliffs. A brilliant place to get some flight shots. We had a great day but the flies were really irritating!

American singer and voice actor Clifton A. 'Cliff' Edwards (1895-1971) was known as 'Ukelele Ike'. He enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1920s and early '30s, specializing in jazzy renditions of pop standards and novelty tunes. He had a number-one hit with 'Singin' In The Rain' in 1929 and is best known as the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940).
