I didn't take this photo today, I took it a couple weeks ago, but if I had, the scene likely would have been different. This morning a man drove his car off the bluff and landed it on the beach at the bottom of the frame. Somehow he walked away with only moderate injuries. If you're interested in reading more about the incident, here's a link to an article: www.utsandiego.com/news/2013/jul/29/man-drives-off-bluff-...
With a nice rain last night, the cliff swallows were busy taking advantage of the available mud for building materials on their mud nests.
''Going Going....not yet''
A hazy sunset yesterday.Amazing that this has still managed to cling on.The photo doesn't really show how extreme the angle is.Gravity is weird.
What fun yesterday spending some time with a few friends and these goats. Magnificent animals indeed!
When Cliff Swallows land they do not stop moving. Their wings are constantly quivering and they are always on the move. This image is a minute moment in time (1/4000 of a second to be precise) with birds coming in and taking off, "Control Chaos" if you can believe.
Bijou de l'extrême Sud de la Corse, magnifiée par l'eau turquoise qui l'entoure tel un écrin recelant tant de trésors, Bonifacio est la commune la plus méridionale de France ...
Protégée par ses hautes falaises, la Citadelle, construite sur un cap calcaire incomparable, domine fièrement la mer où les Bouches de Bonifacio séparent la Corse de la Sardaigne italienne.
Riche d'une histoire qui trouve ses sources à l'époque néolithique, Bonifacio a été le siège d'évènements historiques qui ont marqués profondément la ville par ses édifices religieux, son architecture médiévale, ses constructions militaires, son complexe portuaire.
La maison complètement à droite est celle de l'actrice Marie-Josée Nat, née à Bonifacio.
Jewel of the extreme south of Corsica, magnified by the turquoise water that surrounds such a jewel harboring so many treasures, Bonifacio is the southernmost town in France ...
Protected by high cliffs, the Citadel, built on a unique limestone cap, proudly overlooks the sea where the Straits of Bonifacio separates Corsica from Sardinia Italian.
With a history that has its sources in the Neolithic period, Bonifacio was the site of historical events that have profoundly marked the town by its religious buildings, medieval architecture, its military structures, its port complex.
The house fully right is that of the actress Marie-Josée Nat, born in Bonifacio.

The Cliffs
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.
The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988 and as a Special Protection Area for Birds (SPA) under the EU Birds Directive in 1989. Included within the designated site are the cliffs, the cliff-top maritime grassland and heath, and a 200 metre zone of open water, directly in front of the cliffs to protect part of the birds' feeding area. The designation covers 200 hectares and highlights the area's importance for wildlife.

The engine is believed to be a 1400hp Yates and Thom horizontal cross compound fitted with Corliss valves. The spindle capacity of Cliff Mill was 100,000 on Dobson & Barlow mules. The flywheel seen at right drove a total of 35 ropes; 12 to the ground floor, 8 to the first floor, 8 to the second floor and 7 ropes to the third floor. The high pressure cylinder, seen in the photograph, carried the name 'Rotha' and the low pressure cylinder was named 'Patience' both named after Frank Hollins daughters (see related newspaper article)

These gorgeous rock formations overlook the meadow beside Brooks Lake in Bridger-Teton National Forest. The meadow is at 9200 feet and so freezes early although the day temps stay high enough to thaw the mud and make the mile or so trek through the meadow pretty rough going. Had to tramp through the uneven grassy hillocks rather than slip and slide in the muck. So many trees are dead due to pine beetle infestation. What a tragedy.
