With the diving Gannet boat trip re-scheduled to a later start time I decided to spend an hour at Bempton Cliffs, didn't see the Albatross though unfortunately.
I've been in Durango for a month now, and this week I finally made it down to Mesa Verde National Park. Last year I went there twice and both times, all the tours of Cliff Palace were filled. That sucked! It is the biggest and nicest of all the cliff dwellings. So, I FINALLY made it down there. It was really an amazing cliff dwelling.
Very interesting part of the history of our country. What's even more fascinating is how much has survived over 700 years, helped by the arid climate.
Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located within Mesa Verde National Park, along with hundreds more structures in the cliffs and on top of the mesas.
Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 through 1260, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span This community was likely inhabited by up to 500 people.
Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, and while debate remains as to the causes of this, some believe that a series of mega-droughts interrupting food production systems is the main cause

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.
We were hoping for a colourful sunset but while this didn't happen, the beautiful sea cliffs on Achill Island made for great photographs anyway.
Last night was one of those absolutely beautiful monsoon evenings in Sedona with gorgeous clouds, light, occasional rain showers mixed with rainbows, etc. While I missed out on the rainbows, I was fortunate to catch some of that gorgeous light bathing the beautifully rugged (and appropriately named) Crimson Cliffs just east of town. These cliffs are essentially an extension of Munds Mountain and really catch the eye of those driving into town along Hwy 179.
