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.

Looking north towards Valentia Island. To get to this vantage point involved a long trek through boggy moorland and the scaling of several wire fences. There was also a very strong wind. Thankfully, the clouds parted for awhile and the late evening Sun shone gloriously.
The Cliff Dwellers have a really awesome space, in the penthouse floor at the top of the BorgWarner Building. I wish it was my apartment...
Türisalu cliff (Türisalu pank) is part of the Baltic Klint in Estonia and has an height of up to 30 metres (100 ft).
Türisalu cliff has accumulated a negative reputation as a "popular" place for suicides, especially among younger people.

Situated just off England’s South coast and less than 2 hours from London, the Isle of Wight is the perfect holiday destination at any time of year.
Açores (or Azores) are a group of Portuguese vulcanic islands in the Atlantic. Due to its vultanic nature the sand and the rocks are mostly black, which gives some quite dramatic pictures.

At this point I wasn't fixing the cookie box to the film holder with the cardboard. The result was that sometimes the flash would move and not be exactly pointed at the frame, hence the shadow on the right side of the picture.
Trimingham Cliffs, Norfolk.
I've not ventured this way since the summer of 1978 and a vague memory of a beach party where I was buried up to my neck in the sand and drunk lethal cocktails and beer all night.
Bridgewater.
Captain Grant named this area after the Duke of Bridgewater in 1800. This area was explored by Edward Henty in 1833 two years before he settled at Portland. When he did settle he established one of his six squatting stations or runs at Bridgewater in 1836. He grew potatoes there for a short time which he shipped to the Adelaide markets but he soon abandoned farming here. Then in 1838 Sam Bryant married one of Edward Henty’s sisters Jane and the couple resided on land at Bridgewater. Once the Portland region was officially opened up to white settlement by the NSW government in 1840 it took a couple of years before other white settlers arrived. The first two settlers James Kittson and James Kennedy arrived in 1842 to take up land. By 1860 there were 38 families living at Cape Bridgewater and a Methodist church had earlier been erected in 1858. Two small private schools were operating by 1860 and the first Post Office opened in 1863. A beautiful sandstone Anglican Church was also erected for the settlers at Cape Bridgewater in 1884. It is now upmarket accommodation. Cape Bridgewater is famous for having the highest cliffs in Victoria and the amazing Petrified Forest near the Cape itself. The petrified forest is a series of sandstone tubes that have had their centres eroded out by millions of years of rainfall and weathering. It is a forest because these tubes began as trees which were covered by sand dunes and then gradually transformed into sandstone although some theories now discount the idea that the tubes began as trees. The interior of the tubes eroded quickly as it was just decaying plant matter.
No I am just kidding, I like the shale cliff but it is not my favorite.

In Madison Township in Lake County, Ohio, on May 12th, 2020, a cliff above Mill Creek as viewed off the "Bluebell Valley Path" trail in Hogback Ridge Metropolitan Park.
Mill Creek flows to the Grand River, which flows to Lake Erie &c.
I am confident that the cliff is composed either entirely or predominantly of Chagrin Shale, a stratigraphic member of the Ohio Shale from the Famennian age (372.2 ±1.6 to 358.9 ±0.4 mya) of the Late Devonian epoch of the Devonian period of the Paleozoic era.

A beautiful Bank Holiday a couple of weeks ago meant only one thing.........a lovely long hike with my camera (and husband!).

In the late 1950's British singer, actor and Sir Cliff Richard (1940) was known as Britain's answer to Elvis Presley. The ‘Cliff Richard musical’ became the number one cinema box office attraction in Britain for both 1962 and 1963.

Le Scogliere di Moher (Aillte an Mhothair, che significa "scogliere della rovina", in gaelico irlandese e, spesso non tradotto, Cliffs of Moher in inglese) sono impressionanti e suggestive scogliere a picco sul mare situate vicino al villaggio di Doolin sulla costa occidentale del Clare, contea della Repubblica d'Irlanda. Meta turistica celebre in tutto il mondo, è uno dei luoghi più visitati dell'isola d'Irlanda. Il punto più alto delle scogliere, che sono lunghe circa otto chilometri, raggiunge i 214 metri d'altezza sull'Oceano Atlantico, mentre la propaggine più meridionale, Hag's Head ("Capo Hag") scende a 120 metri.
Nonostante siano un luogo altamente turistico e ben attrezzato con centro visitatori e parcheggio gestito dalla Shannon Heritage (che gestisce anche la torre O'Brien, un piccolo edificio su una parte della scogliera), ci sono numerosi sentieri non chiusi che entrano in proprietà private e che passano spesso sul precipizio, regolarmente battuti dai visitatori nonostante sia formalmente vietato.
Le scogliere sono situate sulla parte nord-occidentale della costa del Clare, in piena Irlanda occidentale. Possono essere raggiunte via automobile da Galway percorrendo la strada del Burren che passa per Lisdoonvarna fino a Doolin e di lì la stradina panoramica, dato che il villaggio è poco prima delle falesie, oppure dalla strada proveniente da Liscannor (da cui arrivano le strade principali da Ennis e Kilkee).
So worthy to take a risk while climb up there near by the cliff. :)

Climb up the bluffs overlooking Clachtoll Beach in Assynt and this is the view you get as a reward. The water really was this azure-green color. It's quite a spectacular place.
This was shot using my 70-200 mm lens and zoomed out to 175 mm. That lens is not the easiest thing to carry when climbing small cliffs, but the effort was worthwhile I think.
Taken at the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare Ireland. A very beautiful place, especially with the sun shining. Was amazing seeing so many people out and about enjoying the great weather.
This was 3 shots combined in Photomatix and touched up in PS.
