As a change from Gannets (I have plenty more shots of those!), here are a few views of the Cliffs at Bempton. The RSPB nature reserve runs along a stretch of coastline, a couple of miles north of Flamborough Head and between the seaside resorts of Filey and Bridlington. There are several viewing platforms, looking over the cliffs and seabird colonies. The area is also rich in wildflowers.
More shots below - the main shot above, taken when we arrived, was taken with the 14-140. All the shots in the comment were taken with the 100-300 as by then, the clouds of tiny flies made me reluctant to change lenses.
Through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Congress designated the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) in Washington County, Utah “to conserve, protect, and enhance …the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historical, natural, educational, and scientific resources” of public lands in the NCA.
The Colorado Plateau, Great Basin Desert, and Mojave Desert overlap in Washington County. In this transition zone, unusual plant and animal species have evolved, including the dwarf bearclaw-poppy and Shivwits milk-vetch, small native plants that grow nowhere else on earth. The hot, arid Mojave Desert provides habitat for diverse wildlife, such as kit fox, Gambel’s quail, and the Mojave Desert tortoise. This native tortoise is listed under the Endangered Species Act and is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and other factors. The newly-designated Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas are also within this NCA. Here, hikers, backpackers, and equestrians can enjoy scenic vistas, solitude, and natural quiet, just a few miles drive from local communities.
More than 130 miles of non-motorized recreation trails (hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trail riding) are available for public use in the NCA. The Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers camping and day use areas, in a developed site where fees are collected. All motorized vehicle travel, including Off-Highway Vehicles, is limited to designated roads in the NCA. No motorized or mechanized vehicle travel is allowed in the Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas, without special authorization from BLM.

This is a common site along the Cornish coastline, huge lumps of cliff which have broken away from the mainland form islands on the beaches.
Tucked into the upscale enclave of Sea Cliff in San Francisco, this corner residence is a striking study in mid-century modernism—an unexpected but welcome contrast to its more traditional neighbors. Clean lines, minimalist facades, and an emphasis on horizontal volumes give the home its modernist credentials, while the restrained material palette—textured concrete, smooth stucco, and dark metal-framed windows—adds architectural depth. The subtle terrazzo-like façade offers visual texture without disrupting the home’s otherwise monochromatic elegance.
What makes this home especially captivating isn’t just its geometry but its context. Sea Cliff is famed for its early 20th-century mansions and Spanish Revival villas, but this residence bucks the trend, opting instead for a Zen-like simplicity reminiscent of 1960s and '70s design philosophies. Framed by meticulously sculpted trees and manicured greenery, the landscaping further underscores the influence of Japanese and California Modern design—a tranquil foreground to a boldly restrained home.
Though the architect remains unidentified, the design ethos feels informed by the likes of Edward Killingsworth or perhaps even Joseph Eichler’s influence, with its clear focus on indoor-outdoor harmony and unadorned elegance. This is modernism built for longevity—not to shout, but to last.
Located just minutes from the Lands End Lookout and China Beach, this Sea Cliff gem speaks to the power of architectural restraint in a neighborhood known for opulence. It's a quiet showstopper, and for lovers of design, an under-the-radar must-see on any San Francisco architecture tour.
Shipwrecks cliff.. Can cross that one off the list.

Located on the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument includes the Paria Canyon-Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. The Monument borders Kaibab National Forest to the west and Glen Canyon National Recreation Area to the east.
This remote and unspoiled, 280,000-acre Monument is a geologic treasure, containing a variety of diverse landscapes from the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon. Elevations range from 3,100 to 7,100 feet.
Visitors will enjoy scenic views of towering cliffs and deep canyons. Paria Canyon offers an outstanding three to five day wilderness backpacking experience. The colorful swirls of cross-bedded sandstone in Coyote Buttes are an international hiking destination. There are also opportunities to view wildlife, including California condors. There are two developed campgrounds just outside the Monument: Stateline and White House. Dispersed camping is allowed outside the wilderness area in previously disturbed areas.
The deep canyons, tall cliffs and pinon covered uplands were backdrops for scenes from Billy the Kid (1941) and later the Outlaw Josie Wales with Clint Eastwood (1976).
