A view of a sandstone cliff near the entrance of Capitol Reef National Park in Torrey, Utah. Capitol Reef is primarily made up of sandstone formations within the Waterpocket Fold, monocline that extends nearly 100 miles. A monocline is a step-like fold in rock strata that can resemble an enormous wrinkle in the earth. This land is managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Photo credit: Alex Demas, USGS.
The Cliffs are 702 feet high at the highest point and range for nearly 5 miles over the Atlantic Ocean.
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.
They are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds under the EU Birds Directive in 1986 and as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988.
"Clouds without water" at least on this day. Low tide along the Sunset Cliffs and clouds in the sky, it was the right time for photography.
I always seem to find my self disappointed with the sharpness of the final image, given what I started with. This shot is of the white cliffs in Dover
This is an RSPB reserve on the Yorkshire coast. There is a viewing platform on the top of the cliffs above the natural arch from where you can see all the sea birds roosting on the cliffs. We spent a happy half hour or so just watching them flying back and forth out to sea. Best viewed large on black.

Been looking at this one in my Lightroom catalogue for a while. Decided to process as a black and white image. I quite like the ghost town feel this has, which is most unlike the vibrant Saltburn that I know. Developed in photomatix and lightroom.
