These particular dwellings are right beneath the Sun Temple. View from Sun Point View at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado.
The view off the southern coast of Iceland, near Vik of the reynidranger cliff formation. This shot was taken during just a couple of hours of sunlight in the month of December.
The Cliffs of Moher (/ˈmoʊ(h)ər/; Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres. At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, eight kilometres to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor (6 km south) and Doolin (7 km north).
From the cliffs, and from atop the tower, visitors can see the Aran Islands in Galway Bay, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway, and Loop Head to the south. The cliffs rank among the most visited tourist sites in Ireland, with around 1.5 million visits per annum.

I keep finding myself drawn to this bit of cliff, the first section that meets the sea at the end of the Peacehaven undercliff walk. Shot by moonlight at the last full moon.
I always love to sit near a rain puddle to see what birds come to drink. Very happy to see these Cliff Swallows come to the puddle - but not to drink. They were gathering mud to build their nests. It could be they might be repairing existing nests, because it seems to me it is pretty late in the season already. I don't really know.
I love the landscape around this area and its usually not that busy. But with limited parking Me and Rebecca waited until Tuesday to avoid the bank holiday Monday crowds and traffic.
The walk starts with a bit of an assent but once you are on top of the cliffs its fairly flat. The fun bit is dropping down and following one of the multiple paths that run along the scalloped cliffs back the way you came to create a loop.
Surely one of the most dramatic cliff top views in Europe ? Five miles of stunning sea rock stacks and caves
Langdon Cliffs.
There have been a lot of corn buntings around this last week. The one under the farm gate was very confiding. The shot in the dried grasses was a bit of an experiment to see whether I could focus through all the grass stems.
From Wikipedia: "The Jasmund National Park is a nature reserve in the Jasmund peninsula, in the northeast of Rügen island in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Germany. It is famous for the largest chalk cliffs of Germany, the so called Königsstuhl (German = "king's chair"). These cliffs are up to 161 m high above the Baltic Sea. The undisturbed beech forests behind the cliffs are also part of the national park." see more on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasmund_National_Park or de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalpark_Jasmund
