Bempton Cliffs, Yorkshire, UK. Awesome bird, showed incredibly well putting on an airshow right in front of us. Slow pass with all airbrakes deployed.
As well as being a village of the same name, 'Cabo de Gata' also refers to Andalucia's largest coastal protected area, a wild and isolated landscape with some of Europe's most original geological features. It is the only region in Europe with a Warm Desert climate. The region also includes 'Las Salinas de Cabo de Gata', the salt flats near the headland which are home to a variety of birds including thousands of greater flamingos. It truly is an area of outstanding natural beauty and of great interest to walkers, hikers and nature enthusiasts alike. For much more detailed information about 'Cabo de Gata', take a look at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabo_de_Gata-N%C3%ADjar_Natural_Park. There are plenty more photos of Cabo de Gata and other Spanish towns/locations if you take a look at my 'Albums' page, www.flickr.com/photos/36623892@N00/sets/ - thank you.

American singer and voice actor Clifton A. 'Cliff' Edwards (1895-1971) was known as 'Ukelele Ike'. He enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1920s and early '30s, specializing in jazzy renditions of pop standards and novelty tunes. He had a number-one hit with 'Singin' In The Rain' in 1929 and is best known as the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940).

This was taken in 1996 during a trip across the Southwest with my father. Tour groups were going through the ruins, but I was able to time the shutter on this one for a time when no one was walking through. It was taken with the same setup as Cliff Palace B&W with an exposure twice as long.

An institution.
(Tho' institutionalized may be a more apt description of the hired help.)
A rabbit warren. A maze. A fire trap.
Either way there's no place quite like it.
And it makes a wonderful counterpoint to the tweedy gentrification of Vromans Books across the street.
They both have their places here in what used to be the "book district".
Hope it stays open forever.
