The cliffs of Aldeyarfoss are an extraordinary place for Arctic River Beauty to flourish, as this perennial herb usually grows on snowmelt-flooded gravel bars and scree.

This is a vertical panorama composed of two frames.
Iceland at its best, too bad I still don't know the name of this waterfall.
Cliffs were quite steep and colours were warm due to sunset. Somehow I loved this more than Cliffs of Moher, though one cannot really compare those
Lauterbrunnen ravine, Bernese alps, Switzerland.
To some insane people it's a real kick to jump from the top of the Lauterbrunnen-Cliffs and to open their parachute in the very last moment...
For many of them it was too late this year...
We had some time to kill and since it was 95+ degrees, thought it'd be fun to find a good place to swim not far from WSU. Lower Granite Lake offered fun climbing, cliff jumping and refreshing water.

Gonarezhou NP:
A journey into the heart of Gonarezhou begins with the realisation that this is wild country. It is one of Africa’s last remaining pristine wildernesses and we are all privileged to be a visitor here. The animals are in their most natural state at Gonarezhou; these are no lazy photographic models, hassled by a constant cavalcade of jeeps, radioing one another in their relentless pursuits. This is a country of red sandstone, thorny scrub and baobabs. Buffalo gather at watering holes, big cats prowl silently in pursuit of painted impala, hippo wallow midstream attended by squadrons of fluttering birds. The presence of elephants is everywhere; on the earth and the vegetation, as their families travel along routes passed from one matriarch to another in search of food, safety, and water. A panorama of birdlife gathers at Tembahata and Machanu Water Pans, a flying, wading tumult of colour, while the wonders of Chilojo Cliffs and Chivilila Falls reveal the glories of the unique landscape.
Damn the boulder was high.
Lucky I didn't fall, or I wouldn't be here to share this photo. The rock is a huge boulder from Frank slide in B.C, we drive by it every time we go to Fernie.
This photo has to at least be a week old, and I was pretty sure I uploaded it, but I guess not probably due to me thinking I have to many pictures of me doing cartwheels. I do them every where I go, but I'm always unsure about uploading more.
I think I will make a set dedicated to my cartwheel pictures >: )
this could get a little crazy,
Qingshui Cliff is a 21 kilometer length of coastal cliffs averaging 800 meters above sea level in Xiulin Township, Hualien County, Taiwan. The tallest peak, Qingshui Mountain, rises 2408 meters directly from the Pacific Ocean. The cliff is located at the southern part of the Suhua Highway that connects the counties of Yilan and Hualien in eastern Taiwan. It is considered to be a very scenic area and is the highest coastal cliff in Taiwan.
Table Mountain (Khoikhoi: Hoerikwaggo, Afrikaans: Tafelberg) is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and is featured in the Flag of Cape Town and other local government insignia.[2] It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) from side to side, edged by impressive cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head to the west, forms a dramatic backdrop to Cape Town. This broad sweep of mountainous heights, together with Signal Hill, forms the natural amphitheatre of the City Bowl and Table Bay harbour. The highest point on Table Mountain is towards the eastern end of the plateau and is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a stone cairn built in 1865 by Sir Thomas Maclear for trigonometrical survey. It is 1,086 metres (3,563 ft) above sea level, about 19 metres (62 ft) higher than the cable station at the western end of the plateau.
The cliffs of the main plateau are split by Platteklip Gorge ("Flat Stone Gorge"), which provides an easy and direct ascent to the summit and was the route taken by António de Saldanha on the first recorded ascent of the mountain in 1503.[3]
The flat top of the mountain is often covered by orographic clouds, formed when a south-easterly wind is directed up the mountain's slopes into colder air, where the moisture condenses to form the so-called "table cloth" of cloud. Legend attributes this phenomenon to a smoking contest between the Devil and a local pirate called Van Hunks.[4] When the table cloth is seen, it symbolizes the contest.
Table Mountain is at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that forms the spine of the Cape Peninsula. To the south of the main plateau is a lower part of the range called the Back Table. On the Atlantic coast of the peninsula, the range is known as the Twelve Apostles. The range continues southwards to Cape Point.

Near Tlayacapan/Tepoztlan there are lots of clifs that look like this
It's the signature landscape of the area
