The irresponsible stupidity of some people never ceases to amaze me.
There are frequent cliff falls here at Birling Gap, and yet people still go to the very edge and look over. I couldn't believe it when I saw this family with 2 young children walk to the edge, although they did take hold of their hands before they got there. Plus it was blowing a gale and a small child could easily get blown over.
The Cliffs of Moher are entirely vertical and the cliff edge is abrupt. On a clear day, the views are tremendous, with the Aran Islands etched on the waters of Galway Bay. From the cliff edge, you can just hear the booming far below as the waves crash and gnaw at the soft shale and sandstone.
With a due-west exposure, sunset is the best time to visit. The weather during our visit was perfection!
During Oregon's rainy winters, I find myself pining for deserts. Since travel isn't happening anytime soon, the next best thing is going through photo archives from previous trips.
For size perspective on these cliffs at Capital Reef, check out the pine trees on the lower left. The straight on sunset light and the crop emphasize the "flatness", but the shadowed cracks are probably 30-50 feet deep. In real life, there is about the same distance or more of cliffs below the image, but they are not as sheer.
if you look under the tower on the cliff, you can make out a face, giving this image it's title. Taken just after a dull sunset

The Chalk Cliffs are an iconic historic landmark in Colorado's southern Sawatch Range. The cliffs are at the entrance to Chalk Creek Canyon (left) on the southeast flank of Mount Princeton. These striking white cliffs are made not of chalk but of kaolinite, a soft rock produced by hot springs percolating through cracks in the rock.
