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.
Red squirrels are pretty smart! They know exactly who is carrying a Cliff Bar. This little guy came racing up the trail to meet us and followed right out onto the shore ice, well away from any cover of the trees. At one point Lynn lost sight of him and he'd climbed up on top of her backpack. He or she must have been pretty hungry.
The iconic Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most visited natural attractions. Stretching for 8km along the Atlantic Ocean coast, they reach 214m at their highest point.
An oldie from four years ago.
This is Bempton cliffs, an RSPB bird reserve on the Yorkshire coast. It as one of the biggest Gannet colonies in the uk.
Its well worth a visit if your in this part of the world.
The Cliffs of Moher (/ˈmʌhər/; Irish: Aillte an Mhothair) are sea cliffs located at the southwestern edge of the Curren region in County Clare, Ireland. They run for about 14 kilometres (9 miles). At their southern end, they rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head, and, 8 kilometres (5 miles) to the north, they reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, a round stone tower near the midpoint of the cliffs, built in 1835 by Sir Cornelius O'Brien, then continue at lower heights. The closest settlements are the villages of Liscannor 6 km (4 miles) to the south, and Doolin 7 km (4 miles) to the north.(Wikipedia)
Glen Brittle is such a fabulous place to visit. For next time I will start at least an hour earlier to be able to find the optimum place to shoot from. Before this visit I had no idea where to go and when to be at a certain place. I now have some more knowledge and would start 1-2 hours earlier at the site to make sure I'd be in the right spot at the right time. This is a place I stopped at on my descent when the sun was already way up on the sky. Next time I would try to be here just at sun rise. For tomorrow I'll have a sunrise shot from a bit above this location.
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.

The Cliffs of Moher are often crowded or in some cases shrouded in fog and clouds. Well, that was exactly the case earlier this day, but fortunately the clouds and crowds cleared late in the day for a gorgeous evening sunset. You can still see the low clouds lingering on the ocean.

Morning mist along the steep headlands cliffs of the rugged Big Sur region.
Earlier this week I made a quick trip down the coast to the Big Sur region, getting as far south as Sur Point. This is a short enough drive for me that I can leave home early, photograph all morning, and be home for a late lunch. This time of year there can be great variations in the conditions. Often it is sunny and clear, as it was on this morning, but it can also be foggy. And when a big Pacific front rolls through, watch out! I had sun on this visit. One thing I did not have was the all-too-common summer crowds — unlike those times, a late fall weekday morning is not crowded at all.
The photograph includes a familiar section of the Big Sur coast. It is visible from another well-known icon, though I think I did all that I could do with that famous subject years ago… and now this nearby terrain interests me more. Here the road rises to a high point, and tall cliffs drop abruptly to the ocean from the high bluffs. A bit of fog and mist was softening the light on this morning.

Looking northeast from Otter Cliffs, Acadia National Park. Beehive on the right, Gorham Mountain on the left, and distant Champlain Mountain in between. Looked for some leading lines among the joints and fractures in the rocks but could not find anything appropriate ... so I guess these are misleading lines.
Click to zoom ... can you find the other photographers in this picture?

The Aara gorge near Meiringen is a spectacular 1.4km long limestone gorge worn by the Aara river. At its widest point the gorge is 30m wide, at its narrowest it is just 1m wide and it is 200m deep at its deepest point. The gorge is accessed by means of wooden walkways above the river and short tunnel sections.
