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.
If you look closely, you can see a trail hugging the cliff on the left side, and coming out just enough to get the best shots of the bridge.
We didn't take the trail. The clouds were ominous by this point, and some five minutes later, the sky opened up in huge droplets of rain that came down so hard and fast that they both hurt and immediately soaked you.
I'm sure that trail still felt *really safe* in the rain. ::twitch::

The steep cliffs of Austerberget seen across the waters outside Norderhamn at Stora Karlsö, Gotland.
"Sacrifice Cliff is easily seen from many areas in Billings. The story I've heard is that a smallpox epidemic occurred during early contact of Native Americans with whites. The Natives had absolutely no immunity to the dreadful disease. Brave warriors road their horses off the cliff believing their sacrifice would save their people."
cliff richard went to an all year round christmas shop and for some reason a news paper thought that was a good story and the shop put it up in the window to attract more customers i guess
Flaming Cliffs of Bayanzag, where a lot of dinosaur eggs were discovered by Roy Chapman Andrews in 1922.

This is the impressive canyon "Congost de Mont-rebei" which separate Catalunya and Aragó through river Noguera Ribagorçana. It's surrounded for immenses walls up to 200 meters.
Can't make it out, but I suspect those are buildings in the distance

White Cliffs made from chalky limestone on the far South of Corsica Peninsula. The ancient citadelle of Bonifacio was built up right on the cliffs you can see in the middel of the picture.
