Most visitors walk up the main track, but there are also various dry stream beds and rough trails that pass through the thorny Sweet Briar leading to other parts of the cliffs. There is a NZ$5 fee to enter the property (take exact change - honesty box system).
The Cabo Rojo Lighthouse in Puerto Rico sits atop majestic 200-foot limestone cliffs and offers breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea.
What appears to be perilously close to the 300’ or so drop to the bottom of the cliff, is a freight train with 66559 in charge of loaded potash wagons destined for Middlesbrough from the Boulby potash mine (6F32). Saltburn, North Yorkshire.

Well the fence in Mullion needed loving too :). HFF.
Thanks for all your comments and visit and have a great Friday.
I will look at cliffs and clouds
With quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

I wasn’t prepared for the beauty of Providence Canyon State Outdoor Recreation Area west of Lumpkin in Southwestern Georgia. (It has also been called Providence Canyon State Park.) I really didn’t expect much since the so-called “canyon “ is only 150 feet in depth at its deepest. After all, the “Canyon” is only a little over 150 years old and is the result of poor farming and forestry practices in the early 1800’s. I expected red gullies in the Georgia clay.What I found were massive gullies with beautiful fluted walls in red pink, orange and white. Ridges, pinnacles; hoodoos and erosional remnants accentuate the canyon gullies. The result is some of the prettiest views I have seen within the state of Georgia. The canyon is rather small but gorgeous and viewable from several vantage points including the canyon floor.
Vertical cliffs, Faroe Islands.
Faroe Islands are rugged and rocky, the coasts are mostly cliffs. Spectacular dramatic sea cliffs are a common element of the coast, with some of the highest in the world. An other common element is water. Rivers and streams are continuously fed by frequent rains caused by an instable climate originated from the position of the archipelago, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean, in the path of depressions moving north-east. Stunning waterfalls can be found everywhere on the islands creating a suggestive, fashinating and wild landscape.

Looking at part of the riverbank during a leisurely tourist boat trip down the Li River near Guilin in the summer of 1984. Rugged limestone cliffs in the left-background contrast with what might at first glance appear to be a camouflaged Nazi Atlantic Wall gun embrasure c.1944 behind verdant foliage in the right-foreground. But this is an example of how the rock has fractured along straight-line bedding planes, perhaps being undermined water flowing along its foot at some undetermined time in the past. The resulting rubble on which the large fronded trees, bushes and other vegetation are sitting at the base of the cliff appears to show good examples of angular blocks that subsequently have probably fallen directly from the cliffs above. A possible cave and balcony railing(?) are above and to the left of the 'gun position'.
Karst topography is a landscape shaped by the dissolution of a layer or layers of soluble bedrock, usually carbonate types such as limestone or dolomite. Subterranean rivers, cave systems and extravagant surface deformation due to weathering (all found along the Li River) are examples of some of the features found in karst scenery.
South China Karst, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the world’s most spectacular examples of humid tropical to sub-tropical karst landscapes. It is a serial site spread over the provinces of Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan and Chongqing and covers 176,228 hectares. It contains the most significant types of karst landforms, including tower karst, pinnacle karst and cone karst formations, along with other spectacular characteristics such as natural bridges, gorges and large cave systems. The Guilin Karst component in Guangxi province is located within Lijiang National Park and contains fenglin (tower) and fengcong (cone) karst formations.
