Glowing red cliffs at Point Addis beach sunset. The tide was too high for Point Roadknight. (Explored)
I shot the local softball league finals the other night. We should have a few in Sunday's paper.
Cliff's Meat Market's Lucy Stephenson (cq) makes a mad dash for third while Chapel Hill Air's Diane Koenigshafer (cq) waits for the throw at second base during the rirst game of the hard-fought double-header softball finals at Carrboro's Hank Anderson Park on Tuesday evening. Cliff's Meat Market went on to win both games, taking the championship in Carrboro Parks and Recreation's Spring Adult Co-Rec Softball league.
The headland at Cwm Nash, a great place with nesting fulmars, coughs raven and peregrine. Steam appeared to be rising from the cliff top, due to the cloud formation.
I found the cliff walk quite scary -- and I'm not usually afraid of heights. But I seem to be getting more so as I get older. I did it anyway! And the views were worth it.
This is at First in Switzerland, above the town of Grindelwald. The peaks across the valley are the Wetterhorn, 3692 m (12,113 ft), and the Schreckhorn, 4,078 m (13,379 ft); the glacier between is the Upper Grindelwald Glacier.
These 300m high cliffs that show wonderful strata used to be desert 400 million years ago. They afford a wonderful view across the North Atlantic Ocean and the Skellig and Blasket Islands. County Kerry, Ireland.

USC was built in the tradition of place like Saint Tropez, Ibiza or the Hamptons, which started as hideaways for the urban intellectuals and Bohemia in the 1960's, followed by new rich, socialites and tycoons in the 70's and 80's creating a vibrant mix of people and subculture.

Van Kalesi (Van Castle, Rock of Van, Van Fortress).
The shocking first sight that greets antiquity-loving visitors when they get out of the dolmuş to go and explore Van's great Urartian castle is a glistening wall of white stone where part of the castle has just been completely rebuilt.
Fortunately it’s a half-km walk from the dolmuş stop to the entrance gate which is long enough for the fury and frustration to have abated somewhat.
What’s more the rebuilding has been restricted to one end of the castle so that if you could only manage to walk half that distance in a blindfold you would be able to fool yourself that nothing so awful had happened after all.
Van Kalesi is mostly a relic of the days when what is now Van was Tushpa, the capital of the Urartian kingdom that lasted from the 13th to the 7th century BC. The kingdom was famous for its wonderful metalwork, the best examples of which are now on display faraway in the Museum of Anatolian Civilisations in Ankara, much to the disgust of some locals.
The Urartians wrote in a form of cuneiform that they may have learnt from the Assyrians; there are fine examples of it on the sloping faces of the Rock of Van although you need to have a pretty good head for heights to inspect most of them. Excavations in 2012 apparently uncovered a Urartian palace within the castle.
Wandering around Van Kalesi up and down the little paths and gullies is a very enjoyable experience, rather like an adventure playground, and is especially lovely at sunset. As you make your way back to the lower citadel for the climb down to Lake Van, the view over towards the mountains growing pink across the lake is an unforgettable sight. You also have an impressive view over the lake form the citadel.

A jagged slice in a crater wall on Mars stands out brightly against the darker terrain in this image taken by the CaSSIS camera on the ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter at 7pm local time on 1 May 2021.
Despite the low light in this late evening image, several north-facing icy scarps are distinctly visible because of their covering of bright white carbon dioxide frost. The frost disappears in spring, but remains late on these scarps because of their pole-facing orientation.
This 11 km diameter crater is located in the northern plains of Mars at 55°16'51.6"N/106°25'3.4"W, north of Alba Mons.
TGO arrived at Mars in 2016 and began its full science mission in 2018. The spacecraft is not only returning spectacular images, but also providing the best ever inventory of the planet’s atmospheric gases, and mapping the planet’s surface for water-rich locations. It will also provide data relay services for the second ExoMars mission comprising the Rosalind Franklin rover and Kazachok platform, when it arrives on Mars in 2023.

Scenes from the edge of the world - The Lizard, Cornwall 2004-2017
A view from the cliff top coastal path on a beautiful summer day. The Lizard Lifeboat Station at Kilcobben Cove can just be glimpsed in the distance, with the flat headland of Bass Point behind, Taken on our first holiday on The Lizard back in the summer of 2004. We have been going back to The Lizard every year since!

I have always thought that sign would make more sense if it was in braille. I mean, if you can see the sign, you should also be able to see the cliff. Right?

This telephoto view shows the basalt cliffs that support the Waterville Plateau. The plateau was built over millions of years by lava upwelling layer after layer!
