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.
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
An der Algarve gab es Fischer, die von den Klippen aus ihre Angeln ausgelegt haben. Dabei befanden Sie sich oft bis zu 60m über dem Wasserspiegel.

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.

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.

During my trip to Ireland in May 2014, in addition to visiting Dublin, the city where I stayed, I decided to visit the amazing Cliffs of Moher, located in the opposite side of Ireland.
Thanks to the "Wild Rover Day Tours" I've been able to reach the destination. The show was impressive: big cliffs over 200 meters to admire at with the endless sea in background.
Realize a perfect composition was very difficult, both for safety reasons and for atmospheric reasons. In addition to the wind, that was not conducive to the tourists, I didn't have so much time to stay there, because we were still waiting for many other tour destinations that day.

The Candy Cliffs are comprised of the Navajo Sandstone, the dominant rock layer of the Colorado Plateau in the western United States. The sandstone was deposited as a massive windblown sand dune complex during the Jurassic Period, about 180 million years ago and contains swirled red, orange and white color bands with structural domes, cross-bedding and polygonal joint patterns. The movement of iron oxides by groundwater through the formation after deposition and burial formed the unique colored banding observed today.

Many of us have hiked & enjoyed the Raven Cliff Falls Wilderness trail in North GA, just outside of Helen, for many years. Even though it can get extremely crowded, especially in recent years, things are usually more tame on weekdays so I took the opportunity to venture out on a rainy (foggy & moody) Wednesday morning to do some exploring. On my intenirary were two (2) waterfalls somewhere on Dodd Creek above Raven Cliff Falls, and since I found both very scenic from just the couple of photos out there I just had to see them.
However, there were a couple of things I didn't realize about this adventure, and both were equally fascinating. To venture further up Dodd Creek you essentially have to climb up a steep scramble path at the end of the official trail - where I always believed the "Raven Cliff Falls" to be. The revelation though is that behind that cliff is the real (entire) Raven Cliff Falls that comes pouring down from the very top, but the view is simply blocked by the "end of the trail" cliff face itself. The only way to witness this true magnificence is to climb up & around this scramble path (the cliff) and onto what ultimately becomes a rather harrowing trail along the cliff edge. This discovery was both mind-blowing & fascinating considering the amount of time that we've spent here through the years. I'll be clear though, this is not an adventure that I would recommend unless you are truly up for it & willing to play it safe... wisdom should always prevail.
If you would like to check a video of the adventure here it is:
