Jinsha River/Yunnan/China (around 15 km in length, the Gorge is located where the river passes between 5,596 metre Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and 5,396 m Haba Xueshan,in a series of rapids under steep 2000 metre cliffs. Legend says that in order to escape from a hunter, a tiger jumped across the river at the narrowest point [still 25 metres wide], hence the name...)

From the cliffs of Montauk Point, you can look out over the Atlantic and scan the horizon. Cloud formations can be dramatic, especially after a storm, and the light is sharp and silvery as the sun gets lower in the sky in fall and winter.
These papa (mudstone) cliffs at the North Taranaki Coast
Mudstone indeed. I picked up a round grey stone with a hole right in the middle. took it home and started to clean of the salt water..wow, the whole thing melted aways under the hose, got me really fooled
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top Visitor attractions. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
That would be a tourist info part , from my own experience, January 1 is not a good day to visit as it is COLD & WINDY like ..... I was hoping that I was dressed well enough but still the wind goes right thru you and looking at some people – nuts ( I mean they will be looking for them like old squirrel) . Ireland is beautiful but traveling in this time of the year can be difficult as the most of us in the family are sick. It was really grey day and it took me a while to bring some textures to the sky . This is the northern side of the cliffs , lesser know .

Still shot of the Fulmars on the famous cliffs @ Hunstanton. Not best of light in a morning as the cliffs face west.
On the Nikon Workshop I attended over the last few days, Adam Burton, one of the tutors, suggested I try this location, which faces south and was a bit more sheltered from the wind. The light was amazing and I managed to get this shot which I think is my favourite from the workshop.
Seeing this up on the cliff, imaging the Native Americans climbing up there on ropes or ladders every day and night as they came up and down into the valley below... It was nothing short of impressive.
They were built and used by the Pre-Columbian Sinagua people, northern cousins of the Hohokam, around 700 AD. It was occupied from approximately 1125-1400 AD, and occupation peaked around 1300 AD.
When European Americans discovered them in the 1860s, they named them for the Aztec emperor Montezuma II, due to mistaken beliefs that the emperor had been connected to their construction. Neither part of the monument's name is correct. The Sinaqua dwelling was abandoned 100 years before Montezuma was born and the Dwellings were not a castle. It was more like a prehistoric high rise apartment complex.
Strange as it may seem, Gorge Dam is 2.5 miles upstream from this powerhouse, which is nestled against a cliff at an angle on one side of the Skagit River.

Falaise de calcaire avec des morphologies en cheminées sur laquelle est bâti le château de Peyrepertuse, en Pays Cathare, dans les Corbières. Il s'agit du flanc sud de la barre rocheuse vu depuis la route d'accès depuis le village de Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse.

A limestone cliff with chimney-like morphologies supporting the Château de Peyrepertuse in the Cathare region of the Corbières massif. Here is the southern flank of the escarpment as seen from the access road coming from the village of Duilhac-sous-Peyrepertuse.

Beautiful spectacular cliffs near Portmagee along the "Skelling ring" from the Wild Atlantic Way. For me they are just as beautiful as the famous cliffs of Moher.
Steep cliffs loom on the west side of Vifilsfell. The mountain is another of Icelandland's volcanic mountains that formed beneath a thick icecap. This hyaloclastite mound ( tuya) is capped with pillow lava and the boundary can be clearly seen in the cliffs. Vifilsfell, also called Vifilfell, rises 655 meters (2,149 feet) above sea level and marks the northern end of the Bláfjöll (Blue Mountain Range) east of Reykjavík. It is thought to be named after Ingólfur Arnarson’s slave, Vífill, who is said to have regularly hiked up the mountain in order to try and forecast the weather. Arnarson, one of the first permenant Norse settlers in Iceland, built his homestead in and gave name to Reykjavík in 874.

"In several resorts, such as Folkestone and Southend, the cliff railway has had an historical relationship with the town pier. This is especially true in the case of Saltburn, where the railway's close proximity to Saltburn Pier makes it seem almost like an extension. When the pier was constructed in 1869, the high cliff acted a s a barrier between the town and the shoreline, threatening the commercial success of the resort. The original solution was a vertical lift, which remained operational until 1883; it was demolished for the construction of a cliff railway."
Bempton Cliffs - 2016.
We all hope for good weather when we plan our wildlife photography trips but there are times when you can have far too much sun. This was the case during our 2 day trip to Bempton Cliffs. Photographing white birds in bright sunlight can be very tricky and bit of a nightmare. However, we made the most of it by experimenting with lots of different exposures and I am very pleased with what we achieved.
Such an amazing place . . . from which to consider these far different lives, their remarkably distant experience . . . . Walnut Canyon near Flagstaff, Ariz., holds the ruins of about 80 small cliff dwellings constructed by prehistoric Sinagua peoples between the 12th and 13th century. The canyon also offers a closer look at some of the same rock formations found only in the Grand Canyon.
This photo shows how the kittiwakes live and breed in large, noisy colonies around our coast line, as you approach you are met with deafing cries of 'Kitt-ee-wayke -Kitt-ee-wake' this is also where there name is derived from, to me they have always been the 'elegant looking' gull, they are beautifull looking And this was taken at bempton where thousands nest.

These cliffs really tower over your head while standing in the Rio Grande. Here's a video of my Big Bend experience and a little look at life behind the lens: Big Bend National Park Video
