Ponta de São Lourenço is one of the last nearly untouched places in Europe. Located in the eastern part of the island, this is the place where a fantastic combination of rocks, sea and nature created one of Mother Nature’s masterpieces.

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 .
See where this picture was taken, Cliffs of Moher . Ireland [?]
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.

An unknown girl doing some yoga on the Trolltunga (the troll’s tongue) rock. Trolltunga is reached after an 11 km hike where you climb up 1050 m in total. We camped on the cliff and returned the 11 kms the next day.
The rock is sticking out of a cliff at 1200 m above sealevel. It is overlooking Ringedalsvatnet (at app. 465 m above sealevel), a lake in the municipality of Odda in Hordaland county, Norway. The lake below is the main reservoir for a hydroelectric power station in Tyssedal which provides electricity for the power intensive industries in the nearby town of Odda. This explains the clearly visible waterlevel-marks on the lower parts of the mountains surrounding it. The Ringedals dam all the way in the back is 521 m wide and 33 m high and was constructed between 1910 and 1918.
Cabo Espichel (lit. Cape Espichel) is a cape located to the west of Sesimbra, Portugal. Tourists are drawn there due to breathtaking views of its cliffs facing the Atlantic Ocean.
The location is famous for the a sanctuary complex (lit. Santuário de Nossa Senhora do Cabo Espichel), built extremely close to the edge of the tall cliffs, which includes a church still in use today.
Also famous, are the several dinosaur fossil trackways exposed in some of the now tilted Jurassic strata which form the cape's cliffs. It is said that local superstition interpreted the trackways as the path taken by the Holy Virgin ("Nossa Senhora") when riding a giant mule from the ocean and up the cliffs, which led to the eventual construction of the convent at that location.

Fractured Cliff, Evening. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. October 26, 2012. © Copyright 2017 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A fractured sandstone cliff in evening light, Capitol Reef National Park
Late in the day we ended up in a canyon not far from the main centers of Capitol Reef National Park, including the main campground. We drove into this canyon after the sun had dropped low enough to leave only the soft, shadow light. We walked a ways up the canyon, moving very slowly and photographing along the way. Given the late hour and the early loss of light in the deep canyon, it wasn't long before we decided to head back to the trailhead and call it a day.
We packed up and started to head out of the canyon. Soon the canyon widened near its mouth and it opened to the west. While the light had mostly left deep in the canyon where we had been earlier, here there was still a bit of a glow on the tall sandstone faces lining the mouth. Below these cliffs the terrains sloped upwards from the valley floor, and debris from the cliffs collected around their bases. Seeing this light, we immediately decided to pull over and unpack everything and make some photographs before the light faded. This photographs shows a wonderful section of the cliff face where outer layers of the rock have apparently fallen in geologically recent time, revealing the beautiful pink rock beneath.

We must expect early religions to have been animistic - a world view of landscape and seasons alive with force and identity and in dialogue with the living world. Walking past rock formations and cliffs with worlds upon worlds must have been appreciated in vivid ways.
