Baodingshan Cliff Carvings, Mount Baoding (Precious Summit), Chongqing, China, 26 April 2009. Created in 1174-1252 under the supervision of Zhao Zhi-feng, an extensive series of Dazu rock carvings (over 6,000) and cave temples reflect a variety of Buddhist doctrines, Confucian ethical and Taoist theories in the Song Dynasty. The remoteness and inaccessibility of this site meant it was unknown to the outside world until the 1980’s and luckily it escaped the destruction of the Cultural Revolution when so many religious and cultural sites were destroyed.
At the San Luis NWR, in Los Banos, California, above the door I noticed some Cliff Swallows starting to build their mud nests. It was quite interesting to see them form their nests. It seemed they were used to people, and they just kept on working. It was taken on April 7th, 2013.
Lithified cliffs are, if I understand it right, cliffs formed of fossilized sand dunes.
Here, then, are the cliffs at Shipwrecks Beach! Wandered up there and found a beautiful blue expanse crashing against buttery cliffs.
Awesome place to witness the nexus of the elements.
The Cliffs are probably one of the most photographed spots in Ireland .. So I thought I should add one to my stream as well :)
The shot was taken a couple of years ago during a holiday in the West.
