This multi-storied ruin, the best-known cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde, is located in the largest alcove in the center of the Great Mesa. It was south- and southwest-facing, providing greater warmth from the sun in the winter. Dating back more than 700 years, the dwelling is constructed of sandstone, wooden beams, and mortar. Many of the rooms were brightly painted. Cliff Palace was home to approximately 125 people, but was likely an important part of a larger community of sixty nearby pueblos, which housed a combined six hundred or more people. With 23 kivas and 150 rooms, Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park.
Mesa Verde National Park is a National Park and World Heritage Site located in Montezuma County, Colorado. It protects some of the best preserved Ancestral Puebloan archeological sites in the United States.
The park was created by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1906. It occupies 52,485 acres (21,240 ha) near the Four Corners region of the American Southwest, and with more than 4,300 sites, including 600 cliff dwellings, it is the largest archeological preserve in the US. Mesa Verde (Spanish for "green table") is best known for structures such as Cliff Palace, thought to be the largest cliff dwelling in North America.
Starting c. 7500 BCE, Mesa Verde was seasonally inhabited by a group of nomadic Paleo-Indians known as the Foothills Mountain Complex. The variety of projectile points found in the region indicates they were influenced by surrounding areas, including the Great Basin, the San Juan Basin, and the Rio Grande Valley. Later, Archaic people established semi-permanent rockshelters in and around the mesa. By 1000 BCE, the Basketmaker culture emerged from the local Archaic population, and by 750 CE the Ancestral Puebloans had developed from the Basketmaker culture.
The Mesa Verdeans survived using a combination of hunting, gathering, and subsistence farming of crops such as corn, beans, and squash. They built the mesa's first pueblos sometime after 650, and by the end of the 12th century they began to construct the massive cliff dwellings for which the park is best known. By 1285, following a period of social and environmental instability driven by a series of severe and prolonged droughts, they abandoned the area and moved south to locations in Arizona and New Mexico, including Rio Chama, Pajarito Plateau, and Santa Fe.

Diverse fractures and surface patterns on the sandstone walls of a Utah canyon.
On this late-October day, a cold one in this part of Utah, our little band of photographers took a long drive on a gravel road. Eventually we stopped at an inauspicious pull-out — I don’t recall a sign, though there may have been a small one. We loaded packs and set out across some dry terrain, and soon entered a small canyon at the base of tall hills, a canyon that looked much like many other such canyons.
This was not a large canyon, and our walk into it was shorter than the walk into some longer canyons we had investigated. It was also a rough little place, and it did not give up photographs as easily as some other more-picturesque places. Near the far point in our exploration we came upon this remarkable bit of sandstone canyon wall, with patterns on the surface of the rock that reminded me of sunbursts.

So fast, windy, bright light, tricky conditions. Kept making adjustments with ON1 until the image made sense.
Cliff was sitting on the northeast side of the Adams Street Bridge. When I asked him how long he'd been out here, he answered, "Too long..." He's a veteran and was soft-spoken and friendly. "I'm a people person", he said, "be nice even if someone's a jerk...give them the benefit of the doubt." His biggest need is transportation (a bus pass), so he can go to work. "(Having a bus pass) that's the beginning" (to getting back on his feet).

Paisagem de novela. Literalmente. Com suas falésias vermelhas e recortadas formando labirintos naturais, as praias de Morro Branco, em Beberibe, no Ceará, já serviram de cenário para algumas produções televisivas. As novelas "Tropicaliente" e "Final Feliz", a minissérie "Sansão e Dalila", o filme "O Noviço Rebelde" e o programa "No Limite" estão na ponta da língua dos guias turísticos que se orgulham de falar da fama alcançada pelo paraíso cinematográfico.
Morro Branco tem uma beleza rara e impressionante, que fica ainda mais realçada nos dias ensolarados. A luz forte e duradoura das proximidades da Linha do Equador ressalta o contraste entre o verde do mar e o vermelho das falésias, de onde saem areias de diversas cores. Elas servem de material para artesãos produzirem os mais diversos objetos decorativos em garrafas.
Com tantas cores, o nome Morro Branco parece não fazer sentido, a princípio. Mas uma duna branca e alta, de onde se tem uma das mais bonitas vistas do pôr-do-sol na praia justifica o batismo.
Em Morro Branco, a principal atração, o Labirinto das Falésias, é acessível a pé. A entrada, a partir do centrinho da vila, é sinalizada. A caminhada por entre os paredões coloridos é curta e pode ser feita sem guia, mas vale a pena contratar um monitor local para ouvir algumas histórias da região e vê-lo formar a aquarela de cores com as areias coletadas de onde não se imagina. A saída do labirinto é no mar, nas barracas que vendem souvenires.
Na Praia das Fontes, vizinha de Morro Branco, mina água das falésias formando, em alguns pontos, pequenas grutas. A maior delas, a Gruta da Mãe D’água, aliás, foi apelidada de Gruta da Açucena, em referência à personagem interpretada pela atriz Carolina Dieckman na novela "Tropicaliente". O local foi cenário para cenas de amor entre Açucena e Vitor (Selton Mello).
Para ter uma visão geral de todas essas belezas com uma pitada de aventura, o passeio de buggy é uma boa pedida. Além de passar pela Praia das Fontes, os bugueiros levam os turistas para dunas de areia móveis, lagoas de água doce, até a Lagoa do Uruaú, um verdadeiro oásis onde turistas param para relaxar e beber uma água de coco diante da paisagem em meio às dunas.

Landscape novel. Literally . With their red and jagged cliffs forming natural labyrinths , the beaches of Morro Branco , Beberibe , Ceará , has served as the setting for some television productions . The novels " Tropicaliente " and " Happy Ending " , the miniseries " Samson and Delilah " , the movie " The Rebel Novice " and the program " The Edge " are the tip of the tongue of the tour guides who take pride in speaking of fame achieved by Paradise film .
Morro Branco has a rare and stunning beauty that is further enhanced on sunny days. The strong and lasting light from near the equator emphasizes the contrast between the green and red of the sea cliffs , from where sands of different colors . They serve as material for craftsmen produce a wide variety of decorative objects in bottles .
With so many colors , the name Morro Branco seems to make sense at first . But a white high dune , where you have one of the most beautiful views of the setting sun on the beach justifies baptism .
In Morro Branco , the main attraction , the Labyrinth of the cliffs , is accessible on foot . The entrance from the little center of the village is signposted . A walk through the colorful walls is short and can be done without a guide , but it is worth hiring a local monitor to hear some stories of the area and see it form the watercolor colors with sands collected where no one imagines . The exit of the maze is in the sea , in the stalls selling souvenirs .
In Praia das Fontes , neighboring Morro Branco , mine water from the cliffs forming , in some points , small caves . The largest, the Grotto of Mother D' water, incidentally, was dubbed the Cave of Azucena , referring to the character played by actress Carolina Dieckman in the novel " Tropicaliente " . The venue was the scene of love scenes between Azucena and Vitor ( Selton Mello ) .
For an overview of all these beauties with a dash of adventure, the buggy ride is a good thing . In addition to passing the Praia das Fontes , the buggy drivers take tourists to the sand dunes of furniture , freshwater ponds , pond until Uruaú , an oasis where tourists stop to relax and drink coconut water on the landscape amid dunes .

My first thoughts after taking this was a bit of irritation that the guy in orange had ruined the composition. However I quickly came round to thinking that he actually contributes to the scale of the overall shot and that draws your eye to him.
Somehow, no visit to Bridgnorth is complete without a trip to the Cliff Railway - opened in 1892 and still going strong today.
“If you approach the High Town by the cliff railway you feel you are being lifted up to heaven.” – John Betjeman.
These are the Clay Cliffs on the South Island of New Zealand. It's a really cool place where they shot part of Lord of the Rings, but it takes a while to get here. The frustrating thing is you can see them from the highway, but you have to drive around this bridge that is hours away just to get there. Next time, I think I'll just go up to the river and be lazy and use a quadcopter!
Another great sunrise this morning, this time at Three cliffs, Gower, Wales, UK. No graphics please.
