Cliffs at a scenic stop along the Nullarbor.
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.
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.
According to Wikipedia,the Saltburn Cliff Lift is a funicular railway located in Saltburn-by-the-Sea, Redcar and Cleveland and the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire, England. It is the oldest operating water-balance cliff lift in the United Kingdom. This is the Upper Station and waiting carriage.

Collecting mud for a nest. These guys are faster than a speeding bullet and just as hard to catch! Wilson's Flats Ontario
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.
The Cliffs of Moher are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.
Oh my, but I DID take a lot of shots of this beach and these cliffs! A slightly different PoV here, showing some of the larger rocks which have fallen to the beach.

The Bunda Cliffs stretch for several hundred kilometres along the coast of southern Australia. They are constantly pounded by the Southern Ocean
A house overlooking beautiful chalk cliffs in Dorset. I also like the geometry of the parallel wire and hillside :)
Standley Chasm, a narrow gorge in the West MacDonnell Ranges, located 50 km west of Alice Springs, Australia.
When I arrived there, the sun unfortunately disappeared behind the clouds, but the red colour of the cliffs was still very impressive.
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Huangyaguan (Yellow Cliff Pass) lies on a steep and abrupt mountain ridge, and got its name from the yellowish hills and rocks nearby. To the east there are cliffs, and to the west crags. The Great Wall at Huangyaguan encapsulates the essence of the Great Wall, with outstanding architectural variety and some of the unique features of the Wall.
With various forms of watch towers along the walls, the largest tower on the Great Wall, Phoenix Tower, and the most unique castle, Bagua (‘Eight Trigrams’) Castle, Huangyaguan Great Wall is considered to be a miniature representation of the whole Great Wall with the greatest variety contained within one section.

I enjoy seeing young birds that look distinctly different from the adults of the species. That may be partly because often it is a plumage held for such a brief time. For identification purposes, it's too bad that you can't really see the typical Cliff Swallow pale rusty rump patch from this angle (there's a hint of it back there just above the rope and wing). And at this angle you can't see the flecks of whitish feathers in the forehead, where the adult has a pale patch.
Point Detour Wilderness Campground, Red Cliff Reservation. I believe that is York Island in the background, part of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.
