Attempting to photograph these swallow in flight is the exact opposite of relaxing - it's frustrating work!
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.

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.
The Cliffs of Moher range for 8 kilometres along the western seaboard of County Clare, at the highest point the cliffs are 214m high. Down below is the mighty Atlantic Ocean. To appreciate this scale more fully, view this image in full screen and you’ll see a tiny man walking along the top of the nearest cliff.
You're very welcome to visit my blog.

Sutro Baths was on "fire" by the water reflection. I added the 6 star filter to make the picture little bit more dramatic of the street lamp. Do you like this idea? I do like your input and suggest of this star filter add on.

Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in North America. The structure built by the Ancestral Puebloans is located in Mesa Verde National Park in their former homeland region. The cliff dwelling and park are in the southwestern corner of Colorado, in the Southwestern United States.
The popularity of Bude as a seaside resort dates from Victorian times. In the 19th Century it was notorious for its wreckers, who plundered the ships that came to grief off the coast - more than 80 between 1824 and 1874.
In 1823 the Bude Canal was dug to carry beach sand - used as a fertiliser - 20 miles inland to Launceston and for exporting local produce. It was this waterway that brought development to the town. The canal is now used for pleasure-boating and fishing.
The town overlooks a wide bay of hard golden sand flanked by spectacular cliffs and protected by a breakwater. There is a seawater swimming pool under Summerleaze Downs which means safety for swimmers even at low tide. Crooklets and Summerleaze beaches have extensive flat sands when the tide is out and these Atlantic-pounded beaches have been described by Australian surfers as the "Bondi of Britain."
This is Hunstanton beach at early hours of sunrise. My first time trying to produce a panoramic image.

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.

I took Rani on the 2 mile hike to Rattlesnake Ledge. This was her first hike! Rani is a Japanese student living with my sister. She heard about my hiking expeditions and wanted to try it. She did very well on this short, but scenic, hike. Even though the nearby mountain peaks were shrouded in clouds, Rani enjoyed the views.
About 2/3 of the way down the 400 steps to South Stack Lighthouse in Holyhead, Wales - There was a hole in one side of the cliff. When I looked through this is what I saw.
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.
