Sorry that the resolution is terrible and this is through my phone camera. This was a beautiful cliff and fun swimming spot.

These cliffs on the west coast of Hoy rise to about 350 metres above sea level. Photographed during our visit to Orkney in June 2004.
When I decided to go down to the bottom of the cliffs I went down some metal stairs. Upon reaching the bottom I had high cliffs to the left of me and a large rock on the right. Standing there all alone with no sounds and only fog in the near distance, with the knowledge that the tide had turned I set out. I knew there were others down here as I was told by the interpreter but still it was so eerily quiet, almost unerving in a way. No one above would or could hear me if I shouted. It truly was a feeling I've never felt before.
A lovely walk along a cliff path leads to the wreck of a crane ship and a rather spectacular light show. Was difficult to hold the highlights and shadows.
Flaming Cliff is located in western side of South Gobi (Omongobi Province) desert.
The name was given by Roy Chapman Andrews who visited in the 1920s.
In Mongolian the area is also known as Hermen Tsav.

This popular swimming hole gets more than it's fair share of displays of bravery as individuals, couples, and groups leap from the cliff into the deep waters below. the drop is about 30 feet. Maybe a little more.
As an eruption of this geyser approaches, the pool it is in fills to the lip of the geyserite wall. Iron Creek flows along the bottom of the "cliff".
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.

Through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Congress designated the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) in Washington County, Utah “to conserve, protect, and enhance …the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historical, natural, educational, and scientific resources” of public lands in the NCA.
The Colorado Plateau, Great Basin Desert, and Mojave Desert overlap in Washington County. In this transition zone, unusual plant and animal species have evolved, including the dwarf bearclaw-poppy and Shivwits milk-vetch, small native plants that grow nowhere else on earth. The hot, arid Mojave Desert provides habitat for diverse wildlife, such as kit fox, Gambel’s quail, and the Mojave Desert tortoise. This native tortoise is listed under the Endangered Species Act and is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and other factors. The newly-designated Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas are also within this NCA. Here, hikers, backpackers, and equestrians can enjoy scenic vistas, solitude, and natural quiet, just a few miles drive from local communities.
More than 130 miles of non-motorized recreation trails (hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trail riding) are available for public use in the NCA. The Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers camping and day use areas, in a developed site where fees are collected. All motorized vehicle travel, including Off-Highway Vehicles, is limited to designated roads in the NCA. No motorized or mechanized vehicle travel is allowed in the Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas, without special authorization from BLM.

Exploring around my favorite hiking trails in the misty fog, I found the contrast of dull slate gray nestled with the wet fall foliage to be quite pleasing!
Listen carefully, the only sound you can hear is peace and quiet... oh, and a slight trickle of water can be heard.
