The Cliffs of Moher are a popular site along the west coast of Ireland, and it's easy to see why.
Thanks for looking!
'The Cliffs of Moher (/ˈmʌhər/; Irish: Aillte an Mhothair)[1] are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.[2][3] They run for about 14 kilometres (9 miles). At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower,[4] a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien,[2][5] then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor 6 km (4 miles) to the south, and Doolin 7 km (4 miles) to the north.' - wiki
Hunstanton is one of a few places on the East coast of the UK were you can get a sunset over the sea. Unfortunately no sunset today but I was rewarded with beautiful light and clouds on the cliffs.
“If we listened to our intellect we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have a friendship.
We'd never go in business because we'd be cynical: "It's gonna go wrong." Or "She's going to hurt me." Or,"I've had a couple of bad love affairs, so therefore . . ."
Well, that's nonsense.
You're going to miss life.
You've got to jump off the cliff all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
From Wikipedia:
"Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. The cliff dwelling and park are in the southwestern corner of Colorado, in the Southwestern United States.
Tree-ring dating indicates that construction and refurbishing of Cliff Palace was continuous approximately from 1190 CE through 1260 CE, although the major portion of the building was done within a 20-year time span. The Ancestral Pueblo that constructed this cliff dwelling and the others like it at Mesa Verde were driven to these defensible positions by "increasing competition amidst changing climatic conditions". Cliff Palace was abandoned by 1300, and while debate remains as to the causes of this, some believe that a series of megadroughts interrupting food production systems is the main cause. Cliff Palace was rediscovered in 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason while out looking for stray cattle."

The awesome Cliff House Motel and Restaurant sign in Wahoo, Nebraska.
The motel itself was nowhere to be found as far as I could tell. It opened in 1961 and was still open in 1983.
