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.

More (smaller) cool ruins in the comments, which one do you like like best?
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.
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.
The tide was in and the wind was blowing ferociously creating this foaming sea at Birling Gap as the sun was setting on the last day of 2015
I don't go out looking for the peregrines it's just that my normal walk around the White Cliffs area takes me past places where I know they perch up.
As well as these I had Common and lesser whitethroat, blackcap, willow warbler but none of these allowed shots worthy of posting.
Went to the ocean for magic hour. I don't know where my head was at, but it certainly wasn't on photography.
Came back with virtually nothing
Even though many visions presented themselfs

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
We picked a great day to do the Ring of Kerry and take a short detour along the Skellig Ring to see the Kerry Cliffs. The sun was shining, and the blues of the water with bright greens just made these views seem otherworldly. The skies were clear enough that you could see the Skellig Islands. One has a monastery dating back to the 6th century and was used to film Luke Skywalker's home in two recent Star Wars movies.

Three Cliffs Bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill is a large stream which flows into the sea in the middle of the bay. Individual beaches make up the bay, they have their own names, including Pobbles Bay to the east of the Three Cliffs, and Tor Bay to the west. The beaches are separated at high tide but are accessible to each other at low tide on foot over the sands.
Paliorema, Milos, Cyclades, Greece.
On the east coast of the island, there's a small beach called Paleorema with crystal clear emerald water and yellowish pebbles from the sulphur of the area. Near the abandoned buildings of the Sulphur Mine that operated until 1957, you can still see wagons on the tracks, old rusty tools, machinery and spare parts in the wrecked storage rooms. It might be hard to believe by this description of industrial decay but, today, Paleorema is one the most secluded and beautiful beaches on Milos island.
Paliorema, Milos, CÃclades, Grécia.
Na costa este da ilha existe uma pequena praia chamada Paleorema com águas cristalinas cor de esmeralda e calhaus amarelados pelo enxofre. Junto à s estruturas abandonadas da antiga mina que operou até 1957, ainda se podem encontrar vagões nas linhas, maquinaria e velhas ferramentas enferrujadas e peças sobressalentes e obsoletas nos armazéns arruinados. Atendendo a esta descrição de decadência industrial pode parecer difÃcil de acreditar mas, actualmente, Paleorema é umas das mais recônditas e bonitas praias da ilha de Milos.

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.
