Cliff walk along the coast of Howth, just north of Dublin, Ireland.
Decided on a vertical composition here, to exaggerate the cliffs and how they protrude into the ocean.
Red Cliffs above Carbondale, Colorado.
Carbondale takes its name from Carbondale, Pennsylvania, hometown of some of Carbondale's early settlers. Carbondale's economy was initially agriculturally based. Farmers and ranchers capitalized on open lands around Carbondale to supply food for miners in nearby Aspen, then a booming center of silver mining activity. Early in the 20th century, before the rise of industrial agriculture in Idaho, Carbondale's primary agricultural product was potatoes. The legacy lives on in Potato Day, an annual fall parade and cookout in Sopris Park.
Despite the non-geologic origins of the town's name, the Carbondale area does in fact possess significant coal resources. Until the late 1980s Cabondale's economy was primarily based on coal operations up the Crystal River Valley. The coal mined from the area was favored for its high burning temperature, low sulphur content, and density. However, the coal deposits also contained significant amounts of methane gas. In 1981, a methane gas explosion killed 15 miners and by 1991 the mines closed down permanently.
The rise of Aspen as a skiing mecca and subsequent hyperinflation of its real estate prices has forced a majority of its workers downvalley to other towns like Carbondale. Thus, especially since the 1980s, Carbondale has partly served as a bedroom community to Aspen. More recently Carbondale has seen a boom of second-home construction, arts and recreational amenities, and tourism as the area's wealth and renown has grown. (Wikipedia)

Darby Creek bridge on Beach Road, Prairie Oaks Metropark, Hilliard, OH. I stood on the bridge for 3 hours and got two good shots of the dozens of Cliff Swallows nesting under the bridge.
Eagle Cliff Falls in Havana Glen Park, Montour, NY. Thanks to flickr buddy David for guiding us to this waterfall.
From May 2012. The strata are of sandstone, relatively soft and crumbly, eroded by sea and wind.

A pic of me jumping off the kiddie cliff at Rick's Cafe in Jamaica. I was going to jump off the big cliff, but Heather said she wouldn't come and visit me in the Jamaican Hospital. She said she would be back at the resort on the beach sipping a Pina Colada and I thought to myself, you know that sounds much better than dying so kiddie cliff it was.
The walk around the rim of Kings Canyon affords exceptional views. The colours at sunset are amazing. Kings Canyon is in Watarrka National Park in central Australia. North East of Uluru.
