Møns Klint are a 6 km stretch of chalk cliffs along the eastern coast of the Danish island of Møn.
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.
A permit is required for hiking in Coyote Buttes North (the Wave), Coyote Buttes South, and for overnight trips within Paria Canyon.

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.
The term "crossing the Nullarbor" means driving about 1,200 kilometres on the Eyre Highway between Ceduna and Norseman in South Australia and Western Australia respectively. Between these towns the traveller crosses the 'real' Nullarbor Plain (the treeless limestone plain) as well as other regions with different characteristics.
The Nullarbor Plain is a flat limestone plain stretching across the southern part of South Australia and Western Australia. The limestone was laid down 25 million years ago on an ancient seabed and has since been uplifted as a limestone layer between 15 and 60 metres thick. The climate is classified as arid to semi-arid with 150mm to 250mm of annual rainfall and mild winters. Summer weather is extremely variable. Hot days with daytime temperatures exceeding 40°C can be followed by mild cloudy days in the low 20's. Summer rainfall is unreliable, usually comprising localised heavy showers or coastal drizzle. The mean summer temperature ranges from 18°C to 33°C.
The limited rain that does fall quickly disappears into the limestone. There are no natural watercourses but there are numerous, extensive cave systems. In earlier times, when rainfall was heavier, Nullarbor limestone was weathered and dissolved by water to form karst terrain characterised by underground drainage systems and caverns. Karst development sometimes changes the gently undulating surface by forming shallow, circular depressions with sufficient soil and localised drainage to support scattered small trees or large shrubs. Otherwise, the plain is dominated by bluebush and saltbush with scattered mulga except for the famous treeless part covered in only bluebush and saltbush.
I like the way they all face inwards towards the cliff face, like naughty schoolboys sent to the corner of the classroom!

"when a man lies he murders some part of the world
these are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives
all this I cannot bear to witness any longer
cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home"... Cliff Burton - To Live is To die
Burton nació en el Eden Hospital localizado en San Francisco, California. A los 6 años comenzó a tocar el piano. Recibió lecciones de bajo por dos años (1978-1980).
Después de graduarse en la preparatoria en 1980, entro en Trauma, un grupo más o menos importante en el area de la bahÃa de San Francisco en el cual grabo algunos demos como "Such a Shame", que puede ser encontrado en Metal Massacre II, compilación de Metal Blade Records. Sin embargo antes de Trauma ya traÃa alguna experiencia tocando con A.D. 2 Millón, Agents of Misfortune o EZ Street, agrupaciones en las cuales se hacia notar la violencia con la que tocaba.
En 1982, cuando Cliff Burton tocaba con Trauma en el Whiskey A Go Go, los miembre de Metallica James Hetfield y Lars Ulrich se prendaron de la manera como atacaba su instrumento, y con ganas de desprenderse de Ron McGovney, decidieron que Burton era el hombre que necesitaban. Sin embargo este no aceptó tan fácilmente, asà que empezó una fase de llamadas telefónicas y ensayos.En algunos meses Burton convenció a Metallica para que dejaran Los Angeles, su base de operaciones, y se establecieran definitivamente en San Francisco.
Asi, sin cortarse el fleco del cabello a la usanza ochentera, influido por el estilo de Geddy Lee, Geezer Butler, Stanley Clarke, Lemmy Kilmister, la música de Glenn Danzig, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, R.E.M. y Aerosmith, Burton se incorporaba a la época en la cual Metallica impresionaba a los fans de Ozzy Osbourne y la crÃtica comenzaba a apreciarlos. Sus impresionantes bajeos, sin más de cuatro cuerdas ni malabares con el instrumento, en The Call of Ktulu y For Whom the Bells Tolls u Orión, incorporaban la distorsión eléctrica a la armonÃa del bajo.
La madrugada del 27 de septiembre, en la localidad sueca de Ljungby, el conductor del autobús en el cual viajaba Metallica perdió el control en el asfalto congelado de la carretera y volcó, dando varias vueltas de campana antes de detenerse. Cliff Burton, según coinciden algunas versiones, intento salir justo del lado donde volcó el vehÃculo. De repente, Kirk voltea y ve una imagen que no iba a olvidar por el resto de su vida, las manos de Cliff saliendo debajo del vehiculo, Una vez que pudieron recuperarse y que la asistencia médica habÃa llegado, levantaron el vehÃculo y confirmamaron lo que Kirk habia visto, debajo encontraron a Burton. El informe mencionaba compresión torácica y contusión pulmonar. Las pesquisas determinaron que el conductor, contra la creencia, no iba borracho ni dormido.
A recently collapsed cliff on Hilbre Island. The eroded detail on this cliff was amazing but erosion is what erosion does!
And when the folk there spy me,
They will all come up to me,
With ‘Here is the fiddler of Dooney!’
And dance like a wave of the sea.
Here are some white cliffs that I was driving by. I thought I would stop and take a picture. It looked like chalk or limestone but I heard it was actually Rhyolite Tuff from ancient volcanic eruptions, it did leave off a fine powder resembling ash.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazar%C3%A9_(Portugal)
is a town in Nazaré Municipality in Portugal with a total area of 82,4 km² and a total population of 14,904 inhabitants. It is in subregion Oeste and Leiria district.
It has become a popular tourist attraction, advertising itself, internationally, as a picturesque seaside village. Located on the Atlantic coast, it has long sandy beaches (considered by some to be among the best beaches of Portugal), crowded with tourists in the summer. The town used to be known for its traditional costumes worn by the fishermen and their wives who worn the traditional headscarf and embroidered aprons over seven flannel skirts in different colours. These dresses can still occasionally be seen.
The town consists of three sections: Praia (along the beach), SÃtio (an old village, on top of a cliff) and Pederneira (an old village, on a hilltop). The Praia and the SÃtio areas are linked by the Nazaré Funicular, a funicular railway.
The original settlements were in Pederneira and in SÃtio above the beach. They provided the inhabitants with safe bases against raids by Algerian, French, English and Dutch pirates that lasted until as late as the beginning of the 19th century.
According to the legend of Nazaré, the town derives its name from a small statue of the Virgin Mary, a Black Madonna, brought by a monk in the 4th century from Nazareth, Syria Palaestina to a monastery near the city of Mérida, Spain and brought to its current place in 711 by another monk accompanied by Roderic, the last Visigoth king. After their arrival at the seaside they decided to become hermits. The monk lived and died in a small natural grotto, on top of a cliff above the sea. After his death and according to the monk's wishes, the king buried him in the grotto where he left, on an altar, the statue of the Black Madonna.
The first church in O SÃtio, was built over the grotto to commemorate a miraculous intervention (1182) by the Virgin Mary in saving the life of the 12th century Portuguese knight Dom Fuas Roupinho, possibly a templar, while he was hunting deer one foggy early morning. This episode is usually referred to as the legend of Nazaré. In memory of the miracle he had a chapel (Capela da Memória) built over the small grotto, where the miraculous statue had been left by king Roderic after the monk's death. Beside the chapel, on a protuberant rock 110 meters above the Atlantic, one can still see the mark made in the rock by one of the hooves of Dom Fuas' horse. This episode is usually called the Legend of Nazaré.
In 1377, King Fernando I of Portugal founded a new more spacious church which was totally transformed between the 16th and 19th centuries. The Church of Nossa Senhora da Nazaré is a rich baroque building, with splendid tiles on its interior. Behind and above the main altar visitors can see and venerate the miraculous image of our Lady of Nazaré.

A Nazaré é uma vila portuguesa, sede do concelho homónimo, no distrito de Leiria, região Centro e sub-região do Oeste, com cerca de 10 300 habitantes.
O actual espaço urbano da vila aglutina três antigos povoados, Pederneira, SÃtio da Nazaré e Praia da Nazaré e novos bairros da segunda metade do século XX, como a Urbisol ou o Rio Novo, surgidos em consequência da expansão natural dos três núcleos primitivos. (P.D.M., 1997).
A vila é sede de um pequeno municÃpio com 80,49 km² de área e 15 158 habitantes (2011), subdividido em 3 freguesias, Nazaré, Valado dos Frades e Famalicão. O municÃpio é rodeado a norte, leste e sul pelo concelho de Alcobaça e a oeste confina com Oceano Atlântico.
O municÃpio, e a freguesia designaram-se Pederneira até 1912, ano em que, por lei, o topónimo foi alterado para Nazaré . O antigo concelho da Pederneira teve foral, em 1514, dado por D. Manuel I, e esteve integrado nos coutos de Alcobaça.
A Pederneira, actualmente um dos bairros da vila da Nazaré, mantém ainda o edifÃcio dos antigos Paços do Concelho, o pelourinho, a igreja Matriz de nossa Senhora das Areias e a igreja da Misericórdia, como testemunhos da sua antiga condição de vila sede de concelho.
O topónimo Nazaré está intrinsecamente ligado à Lenda da Nazaré.
