Ireland’s west coast is lined with dramatic cliffs that rise sheer from the Atlantic, where waves crash against dark stone and seabirds wheel in the wind. The Cliffs of Moher and Slieve League stand as rugged monuments to nature’s power, offering breathtaking views of sea, sky, and endless horizon. It’s a landscape that feels wild, ancient, and utterly alive.
“The Cliffs of Moher, rising over 700 feet above Ireland’s rugged west coast, offer one of the most spectacular views in the world — where the cliffs meet the mighty Atlantic Ocean.”
Running along the narrow ledge carved out of the Alaskan Mountains through the Healy Canyon under a midnight sunset is Alaska Railroad's southbound road freight from Fairbanks to Anchorage. The train running as train 130S, with a three pack of the railroads EMD SD70MACs, tiptoes through the tight confines of the Healy Canyon on the narrow ledge keeping the railroad from falling over 100 feet to the Nenana River below. The train and its crew will go as far south as Broad Pass where they will meet with the Northbound train 130N and swap crews. The Fairbanks crew returning to Fairbanks and the Anchorage Crew returning to Anchorage.

I've been away travelling but have arrived home with only a few 'photography' images. Sad to say that most of them are just the travel kind but that's the result of enjoying the trip rather than concentrating on photography.
Somehow, no visit to Bridgnorth is complete without a trip to the Cliff Railway - opened in 1892 and still going strong today.
I see there's a vacancy for a relief operator in the window - heck, I'd almost work there for nothing!
“If you approach the High Town by the cliff railway you feel you are being lifted up to heaven.” – John Betjeman.
Collecting mud for a nest. These guys are faster than a speeding bullet and just as hard to catch! Wilson's Flats Ontario
This dwelling in Mesa Verde NP is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. It has over 150 rooms, and 23 kivas. The round kivas were used in ceremonies. Built and occupied from 1190 CE through 1260. Best theory as to why the Puebloans left was a megadrought. Our beautiful world, pass it on.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
I'm posting what I hope are previously unposted shots taken during our 2012 trip to Ireland.
I love the wild and rugged Irsh coast.
A cliff of ignimbrite rises near Ponta do Mistério on the Island of Terceira in the Azores. Ignimbrites are deposited by very hot clouds of ash; pumice, lithic blocks/fragment and gases. Called pyroclastic flows by geologists, these flows are dense and because of their density, hug the ground at high speeds. The volcanic cone rising behind the cliff in the fog is part of the volcanic complex associated with the Pico Alto volcano.
I absolutely cannot wrap my mind around living like this. Just getting to the cliff dwellings would have been a struggle for me as I have a huge fear of heights.
