The sandstone cliffs that adorn Red Rock Canyon are part of the Aztec Sandstone formation. This formation was formed 180-190 million years ago as a result of the lithification of sand dunes. The red color in the canyon is caused by the presence of hematite.
Thanks to the Keystone Thrust Fault, Paleozoic (older) limestone sits on top of the Jurassic (younger) era sandstone. About 65 million years ago, the older limestone was thrust over the younger rock, creating the white-red-white sandwich that can be seen while gazing west at the canyon. The cap of limestone, which is more resistant to weathering than sandstone, has helped to keep the Aztec Sandstone from weathering away.
Red Rock Canyon is located 17 miles west of Las Vegas and attracts over one million visitors each year.

The rural version of roof-topping, although not nearly as dangerous.
For Studio 26's assignment on flipping. Flipped vertically for maximum tension and dizzyness.
Tinder wanted to get in on the action. While it looks like she is looking over the edge, the reality is that she's sniffing the bird poop on the rocks.
This is a ride named "The Cliff Hanger" located at the Mississippi State fair in Jackson Mississippi USA.
This ride and the "Scrambler" have been around for many decades.
The Mississippi State Fair takes place in Jackson Mississippi USA every year during the 1st part of October. The fair last for approximately 1½ weeks. In 2008, it runs from October 1st through October 11.
The Flaming Cliffs site, really Bayanzag (Mongolian: Баянзаг, rich in saxaul or Mongolian: Улаан Эрэг red cliffs), is a region of the Gobi Desert in the Ömnögovi Province of Mongolia, in which important fossil finds have been made. It was given this name by American paleontologist Roy Chapman Andrews, who visited in the 1920s. The area is most famous for yielding the first discovery of dinosaur eggs. Other finds in the area include specimens of Velociraptor.[1] The rock gives off a glowing orange colour, hence the nickname.[2][3]
Outrigger boats line up and rest by the cliffs while the travelers enjoy snorkeling and kayaking around one of El Nido's natural attraction, the Small Lagoon.
El Nido is showered by these majestic limestones which have been home to birds that create nests which most of us associate with soup. The waters from which these stones seem to sprung from are in a cool shade of jade and the dark green patches are live corals where the a number of species of fish live.
In small lagoon, however, the fish are a lil too territorial. Snorkel among them and you're sure to find them staring back at you. Stand near their home and you'll feel them nibbling your legs. Definitely a place for the braver ones.

Black Sand Basin (Yellowstone National Park), an isolated group of the Upper Geyser Basin, was originally named the Emerald Group by A.C. Peale in 1878. But turn of the century tourists began calling it Black Sand Basin because of the small fragments of black obsidian sand which cover portions of the basin.
Black Sand Basin contains a small collection of jewel-like geysers, and colorful hot springs. Emerald Pool is the most colorful and famous of these springs. It is a deep emerald green fringed by an outer ring of yellow and orange. Another colorful pool is Opalescent Pool. This recently formed pool inundated a stand of lodgepole pine, creating a stand of white skeletons amidst a rainbow-colored pool. An unusual geyser formed on the bank of Iron Creek. Cliff Geyser formed a rim or wall-like ridge of sinter around its crater from which it erupts 30 to 40 feet high.
