EXPLORED 8-5-12. I had the opportunity to explore the awesome city of San Diego last week, as I attended a work conference downtown. My friend and I went to the sunset cliffs area 2 nights in a row, and we got a decent light show both nights. The texture in these mini tide pools proved to be my favorite fg elements. Spectacular place, and I will be sharing many more from the 2 nights here as well as some shots of the skyline from Coronado;-) I hope you enjoy, please let me know what you think!

The Algarve ( from Arabic: الغرب‎, trans. Al-Gharb, meaning "The West") is the southernmost region of mainland Portugal. It has an area of 5,412 square kilometres (2,090 sq mi) with approximately 451,005 permanent inhabitants, and incorporates 16 municipalities. The region coincides with the Faro District, and has as its administrative centre the city of Faro, where both the region's international airport at Faro (FAO) and public university (the University of the Algarve) are located.
Tourism and related activities are extensive and make up the bulk of the Algarve's summer economy. Production of food, which includes fish and other seafood, fruit, oranges, carob beans, figs and almonds, is also economically important in the region. The Algarve is the most popular tourist destination in Portugal, and one of the most popular in Europe. Its population triples in the peak holiday season thanks to a high influx of visitors, and receives an average of 7 million foreign tourists each year. In total, including national visitors, almost 10 million people visit the Algarve every year.
The Algarve has approximately 5412 square km, extending just south of the Tagus valley to the southern coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Its highest point is Fóia, 902 metres (2,959 ft), in the mountain range of Monchique. It also includes some islands and islets. The region is also the home of the Ria Formosa lagoon, a nature reserve of over 170 square kilometres and a stopping place for hundreds of different birds.
The length of the south-facing coastline is approximately 155 kilometres. Beyond the westernmost point of Cape St. Vincent it stretches a further 50 kilometres to the north. The coastline is notable for picturesque limestone caves and grottoes, particularly around Lagos, which are accessible by powerboat.

Vermilion Cliffs at Moonrise: Named for obvious reasons, here is what Wikipedia has to say about their extraordinary colors: "The Vermilion Cliffs are made up of deposited silt and desert dunes, cemented by infiltrated carbonates and intensely colored by red iron oxide and other minerals, particularly bluish manganese." The Vermilion Cliffs, located in northern Arizona, are part of the Colorado Plateau and known as the second step of the Grand Staircase. October 2015
Cliff Quarry at Crich is now abandoned and up for sale apart from the section used by the tramway museum. This quarry was once owned by the Clay Cross Company and supplied stone to the Ambergate limekilns via a metre gauge railway built by George Stephenson.

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.
