Siamo nel Parco nazionale di Mesa Verde, nella regione di Montezuma in Colorado. Qui sorgono i resti di antichi insediamenti dei cosidetti Popoli Ancestrali, gli Anasazi. Queste costruzioni risalgono a circa 800 anni fa, ma questi popoli, di cui si sa molto poco, erano già presenti in in questi luoghi dal VI secolo d.c.
I villaggi, costruiti in pietra e fango, erano posizionati in anfratti di roccia che proteggevano dalle intemperie ed erano difficili da espugnare. Abbandonati poi non si sa per quale motivo sono stati riscoperti nel sec. XVI dagli indiani Navajos che li hanno abitati per diversi secoli. Il più scenografico è chiamato Cliff Palace ed è quello raffigurato nella mia foto.
Questo parco è stato dichiarato Patrimonio Mondiale dell'Unesco nel 1978.

An Taobh Sear on Skye , Highland Council.
Most of the people on this inner island of the Hebrides are bilingual, fluent in both English and Gaelic. Skye is rich in fairy lore,with fairy pools, fairy glens, an ancient Pictish graveyard,
and an enchanting (true) tale of the Fairy Flag of Dunvegan castle. (which I have seen!)
the story is here: Treat yourself! you won't be disappointed! :)

Bempton Cliffs, on the spectacular Yorkshire coast, is home to one of the UK's top wildlife spectacles. Around half a million seabirds gather here between March and October to raise a family on towering chalk cliffs which overlook the North Sea. RSPB
View from the Bula Cliff towards the southern part of the Iskar Gorge with the Kaishov Peak in the foreground and Rila Mountains and Vitosha Mountain on the horizon.
A Cliff Swallow is seen at the Frenchman River near Val Marie in Grasslands National Park, southwestern Saskatchewan, Canada. As well as on cliffs and buildings, this species also establishes breeding colonies of its mud nests at bridges. This individual was one among dozens that were preening after roosting overnight, before beginning to feed as insects became active.

Stu and I visited Mesa Verde 17 years ago. This is an AI generated picture of Cliff Palace. This was such an amazing trip!
The sun breaks through a portal in the clouds and the rich filtered rays light up the Wingate Sandstone cliffs above the Colorado River. In the foreground pedestals of Organ Rock Shale capped by White Rim Sandstone stand above Gooseberry canyon.
I am off for a week and a half on a backpack on the Utah/ AZ border, so will not be able to comment and fave your photos, but look forward to catching up when I return.
Just sobre el poblet d'Estana es pot veure aquesta fantàstica panoràmica del Cadí, com un cingle gairebé seguit durant quilometres.

Wasserfall neben der Hochlandpiste F208 in Richtung Landmannalaugar
Der Sigöldufoss ist ein Wasserfall in Island, in der Region Suðurland. Er stürzt auf einer gesamten Breite von ca. 30 Metern 10 Meter in die Tiefe und wird gespeist durch den Fluss Tungnaá. Das Wasser erscheint oftmals türkisblau. Der Sigöldufoss ist nur richtig zu sehen, wenn Wasser aus dem flussaufwärts gelegenen Stausee Sigöldulón abgelassen wird. (Quelle: Wikipedia)

Cliff Palace at Mesa Verde
Mesa Verde lights up a display once a year and we were lucky enough to have Cliff Palace lit this year. We arrived a little after 2:00PM to get a good setup spot and since we were the 1st ones arriving it was prime. By twilight time there must have been well over 100 photographers and tripods. This shot is composed of 4 vertical shots stitched together in a panorama method.
