This is from last year's holiday at the Jurrasic Coast. We stayed very close to those magnificent West Bay cliffs and could spend some beautiful afternoons at the beach. The striation of the cliff is formed by alternating bands of harder and softer rock. There are huge ammonites to be found there, especially after parts of the cliff come down in a landslide.
If you look closely, there are a few people roughly in the centre of the image, that gives you a good sense of the scale of those cliffs.

Slieve Liege in autumn, County Donegal, Ireland, I remember being able to drive up to the viewpoint 20 years ago, nowadays you have to park down below (and pay for it) and walk up the paved road, which is a better solution than constructing a huge car park at the top. I cloned out my shadow as the sun was directly behind me.
The next trip begins this weekend, so I may not get a chance to upload for a few days until I adjust. Happy weekend to everyone.

The Cliff Palace was built by the Ancestral Puebloans in what is now Mesa Verde National Park, Montezuma County, Colorado.
Archaeologists believe that the Palace was constructed and lived in from about 1200AD to 1300AD. No-one now knows why it was abandoned, but it is thought that a series of droughts which interrupted food production was the main cause.
The Cliff Palace was rediscovered in December 1888 by Richard Wetherill and Charlie Mason, while they were looking for stray cattle.
Mesa Verde was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978.
No cliff? Build under a bridge. No bridge? A picnic shelter will do in a pinch. This Cliff Swallow has decided this is the spot where it will build its nest and is guarding the spot, even chasing off other swallows. The mud on the ceiling and wall is probably remnants of nests (Cliff or Barn) from previous years. The park department removes the old nests every fall.
