The very west tip of Scotland - we *climbed* all the way onto the cliff to get this view. It was so darn cold and windy and slippery, but totally worth it!
Sorry that the resolution is terrible and this is through my phone camera. This was a beautiful cliff and fun swimming spot.
I was always impressed with Jim Patterson's Pet Rocks and his rendition of the rock formations at Panther beach (er Hole-in-the-wall beach). Then I ran into Joshua Cripps at the Aperture Academy Spring Ceremony and he told me about this beach. His colorful descriptions and his photostream certainly piqued my interest. So the last Sunday, I dashed off to Panther beach in the hope of catching the last of the colorful winter sunsets.
I reached there with plenty of time to scout and then headed down the steep trail (atleast for a recovering ACL patient) to the rather trashed-up Panther beach. The hole to get to the Hole-in-the-wall beach was easily navigated thanks to the low tide that was developing (though I still managed to get water into my shoes, which made the rest of my evening quite unpleasant)
A short walk later, I arrived at the Pet Rocks and then hit a wall; it was literally a 6 ft wall that almost seemed unsurmountable. To top that off, there was a giant slab of mossy slippery granite that one had to walk on to get to the base of the wall which was getting constantly pounded waves even during the lowest of tides. That certainly didn't bode well and I was not looking forward to climbing down that with all my camera gear at twilight, atleast not with a still-healing leg.
So I just decided to settle at the high ground next to that wall and shot from there. Little did I know that some of the most amazing rock formations lay beyond that wall!
The sunset was rather disappointing. Instead of a clear sunset with a lot of colors, it instead ditched the wannabe photographers and disappeared into a thick bank of fog brooding over the horizon. Thankfully, once the sun set, the sky became a lot more muted enabling some nice long exposures, including this one above.
Using a polarizer to get the blues in the sky and saturate the still remaining cloud colors and then a 2-stop soft graduated Neutral density filter (placed diagonally) to still reduce the light in the westward sky and to increase foreground exposure, I shot this at F11, ISO 100 for 1 minute. Do view it on black
Hole-in-the-wall beach
CA USA
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.

Handwritten description back: Denpasser Boeket.
Pura Luhur Uluwatu "is one of Bali's nine key directional temples. Though a small temple was claimed to have existed beforehand, the structure was significantly expanded by a Javanese sage, Empu Kuturan in the 11th Century. [...] Even more remarkable than the temple itself is its location, perched on a steep cliff 70 metres above the roaring Indian ocean waves. There are more steep headlands on either side and sunsets over Uluwatu are a sight to behold." [Wikitravel (2012). Bukit Peninsula.]
A mix of high powered lights and varying exposure lengths. I spent a couple of days in some local woods hunting mushrooms to photograph.
Register Cliff State Historic Site near Guernsey, Wyoming
Wayfarers had a penchant for inscribing names and dates on prominent landmarks. Register Cliff, along the Oregon Trail, invited emigrants because broad river bottoms offered pleasing campsites and excellent pasture. The rocks at Register Cliff are hard enough that the engravings persist even to this day.
