Sam Ford Fjord on northern Baffin Island, Nunavut, Canada, features towering cliffs facing deep dark waters.
Cliffs of volcanic rocks rise along the Canyon of the North Fork of the Shoshone River, west of Cody, Wyoming. The road from Cody to Yellowstone National Park winds through this canyon in the Absaroka Mountains. The rocks exposed here are volcanics and volcaniclastic rocks that are part of the larger Absaroka Volcanic Field in northwest Wyoming and south-central Montana. This volcanic activity spanned a period of about 10 million years during the Middle Eocene (53-43 million years ago). The volcanic activity covered an area approximately 165 miles long and up to 70 miles wide. Much of the rock in the photo is volcaniclastic. These rocks are sedimentary rocks composed of eroded volcanic material. These volcaniclastic rocks formed in alluvial aprons surrounding the eruptive centers. They are made up conglomerates, breccia, sandstone, siltstone and claystone derived from eroded volcanic material. The volcaniclastics were deposited by debris flow, lahars, as well as streams. They are interbedded with volcanic flows and cut by numerous igneous dikes. The area shown in the photo is in an area of the canyon know as The Palisades. The smoke and haze in the photo came from several wildfires burning quite a way off to the west in Idaho, Oregon and California. Due to the western fires in US during the summer of 2021, Wyoming skies were often smokey or hazy. These smokey conditions were often a challenge for photographers like me who are accustomed to beautiful, clear Wyoming skies.

One early evening, while traveling cross country in Utah, we came across this impressive Cumulonimbus Cloud.
Thank you for you comments,

Low angle shot of a temple tower in Madurai, India. Looks as if deities from heaven have come to sit on the tower.

I had the good fortune to spend a few weeks in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia recently, (or KL as it's universally known locally).
No visit to KL would be complete without a shot of the Petronas Towers. At a height of 451.9 m (1,483 ft) to the top of the spires, the 88-storey twin towers were the tallest buildings in the world between 1998 and 2004, and are built on the world's deepest foundations, ranging from 60 to 114 metres.
Given the amount of people with cameras pointing skywards, it's hard to get a shot of the towers from a unique perspective.
This one is taken from KLCC Park (KL City Centre), a 50 acre (20 hectare) park adjacent to the twin towers.

It was literally a "Walk in the Park" until I saw this flowering cactus. Then I negotiated a steep slope (luckily a very short slope) in my slip on shoes on loose gravel. I somehow managed without falling, though there was also cactus lying on the ground that I did not want to get too close to.

Doug Harrop Photography • August 13, 1974
Mr. Harrop was all about elevation in his photos. He wasn't afraid to climb a signal bridge, mast, or a line side building to view trains from a higher perspective. Of course Doug was a railroader, so perhaps he felt less hesitation to do so.
A mighty fine trio of EMD DDA40X "Centennial" locomotives pull the LAD through the crossovers out of Riverdale Yard in Ogden, Utah.
At the onset of blue hour, C39-8 #1032 emerges from the towering rock walls of the high Andes, flying high over the trestle at Inferno. The FCCA climbs almost 16,000 feet between the port of Callao and the summit at Galera, passing through countless switchbacks and tunnels, and over several majestic trestles.
We are at approximately 11,000 feet (3,350m) here at Inferno, but the biggest hazard is not the high elevation nor is it the treacherous climbs to the shots…rather it is the completely unhinged, chaotic, lawless, and often lethal highway that parallels the mainline. Up-grade, slow, overloaded, unregulated semis meet down-grade, aggressive, and often erratic counterparts on narrow roads, all the while cars, motorbikes, and buses alike zip in and out, often flipping into opposing traffic with reckless impulse, and at the narrowest of margins. Turning a bend to find a wrong-way semi barreling down at you is commonplace and often involves a split-second swerve (hopefully not over the cliff) into the shoulder (if it exists) or opposing lane (if empty), all at dizzying heights. We came within inches of our life multiple times. We saw the aftermath of several gruesome and fatal collisions. Navigating Peru’s mountain highways are not for the faint of heart and by God’s grace, we made it out alive.
We've had the day out in the country today and a visit to Bluebell Cottage Gardens also. Here's one & there's more to come... Thanks for viewing :)
Shot with a 590nm converted camera when the sun began to illuminate certain areas in the clouds. These types of pictures change rapidly based on the position of the sunlight and how it hits the scene. It's fun to experiment and to achieve different looks just by waiting for the light to change.
Shot with my iPhone 8 Plus.
