Red Cliffs, Dawn. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
Red Cliffs, in dawn light, in front of Death Valley and distant desert mountains.
During my January visit to Death Valley National Park I ended up exploring this scene over a period of several days. My ability to travel more widely in the park was limited by storm-related road closures, so I took a closer look that usual at areas nearer the main attractions of the park. The first time I was in this area I missed the good light, but saw the potential, so I returned during that day later on to scout it more thoroughly. (That led to a lovely, solitary hike up a long wash that doesn’t seem to get many visitors.) I went back for the third time on this morning, arriving well before sunrise and photographing until the light became less compelling.
There’s a whole lot of “Death Valley stuff” in this photograph. The foreground includes some of the eroded badlands terrain or multi-colored soils. Above this a band of rugged red cliffs catches the day’s first direct sunlight. Further in the distance immense salt flats are still in shadow, and near the limits of visibility another big mountain range rises in the atmospheric haze.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
To me, the contrasting rock layers in the cliff on the left of this shot look a bit like a face. What do you think? The small island is known as the "Phantom Ship."
This juvenile gull, also known as a grisard in French, is perched on the coastal cliffs north of Canterbury.
It will soon shed its brown‑grey plumage for the paler white‑and‑grey colours of adulthood.
Milford Sound is the wettest inhabited place in New Zealand. It is also one of the wettest in the world. On average it rains 182 days a year and up to 6,813mm a year. That's more than 268 inches a year. It's not surprising to see moss growing on the cliff faces.
Kerry Cliffs are widely accepted as the most spectacular cliffs in Kerry. The cliffs stand over 1000ft above the wild Atlantic and were formed in a desert environment 400 million years ago.

Managed to pop into RSPB Bempton Cliffs on way up North for a family event. First time I've been there and first time I've seen a Gannet - I was not disappointed such beautiful birds! HWW ;0)

Three Cliffs Bay (grid reference SS535876), otherwise Three Cliff Bay, is a bay on the south coast of the Gower Peninsula in the City and County of Swansea, Wales. The bay takes its name from the three sea cliffs that jut out into the bay. Pennard Pill, a large stream, flows into the sea in the middle of the bay.
This is the view along the cliffs of Kynance facing south. It's a beautiful wild and rugged bit of coast, the waves were pleasantly rough and it was a delight watching them smashing into the sea stacks! I tried to time my photo with the explosion of the massive waves - after a few takes I realised that the entire lens was full of sea spray....salt in the air - good for you - bad for the cam :-p
I annotated two people on the cliff edge for a nice sense of scale!
Bempton cliffs is a chalk faced sea bird breeding colony. The height of the cliffs is around 100m/330ft.

Capitol Reef National Park, Utah
Clouds with lenticular shapes floating above the cliffs of the Grand Escarpment. The setting sun is lighting the fluted edges of Moenkopi sandstone that was laid down 240 million years ago during the early Triassic.
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.
