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.
This place is very special, not only because of its unique beauty and extraterrestrial mood, but mainly due to the great moments our group shared together. Photography is all about friendship and this image will be stamped in my mind as a perfect reference of that. Thank you Cristiano Xavier and Pedro Coelho for this great experience.
Fast flowing trails on the river Lyne at cliff bridge, still remnants of previous flooding trapped on one of the piers.
There were three species of swallows flying sorties at a rest area near the head of the auto tour route at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. I must have arrived just as they were wrapping up: there wasn't a buzzing insect anywhere to be seen.
The Nā Pali Cliffs reach up to 1220 meters (4000 feet) in height and were sculpted by millions of years of erosion. The name "Na Pali" means "the cliffs" in Hawaiian and are only accessible via challenging hikes or by boat. IMHO, the cliffs are the most beautiful landscapes in the entire Hawaiian Islands.

On Faraid Head, near Durness in the far north west of Scotland. On a subsequent visit three years ago the stripes were far less prominent.
One from the archives, taken with my first DSLR and a Sigma zoom which was ok at the wide end but very soft on one side when zoomed in.
Swallows on the ground, both males and females, typically raise and flutter their wings in an effort to prevent those unwelcome matings. At the same time, their gathering behaviour makes them more vulnerable.

The fog from the English Channel washes over the cliffs on the coast of Alderney.
I took my new long lens to the edge of the cliffs to see if I could get some nice shots of the gannets, but this is what I saw! This image was taken as the last of the fog passed through, and I did get a few hazy shots after all.
