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.

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.
Orientated towards the Indian Ocean to capture daily sunset vistas, Lagen Cliff Villa is elevated high above a world-class surf break on a prime piece of landscape near the revered Uluwatu temple. This grand three-level villa residence and venue for wedding celebrations is accessed through a traditional Balinese entrance that belies the luxury that waits beyond. A tropical courtyard creates an ambient environment at the front of the villa with a generous swimming pool, sun-loungers and outdoor dining settings to accommodate small groups. This area is edged in lush foliage, garden lanterns and a pair of thatched pavilions strewn with brightly coloured cushions.
Everytime I go to Hocking Hills I never have time to stop at Cantwell Cliffs, usually I am out of time or completley wore out. So today I decided to go to Cantwell Cliffs, Rock House, and Rock Bridge. Well I didn't make it to Rock Bridge today but I plan on going after the next rain. There was still some snow at the bottom of the falls. This is the first time I have seen these falls run the way they were today, I'm sure it was do to the recent rain we just had.
Cantwell Cliffs is one of six natural areas located at Hocking Hills State Park. It's also the farthest north, a fact that keeps many visitors away. Those who do make the effort to visit Cantwell Cliffs will see a reddish-brown sandstone cliff shaped like a giant horseshoe that towers 150 feet over the gorge below. A one-mile trail leads hikers to Lookout Point on the east rim, where they're rewarded with a striking view of the cliff and a rock shelter. Along the way, visitors to Cantwell Cliffs will come across inclines and descents, slump rocks (large boulders) on the valley floor, a recess cave and an especially narrow passage nicknamed "Fat Woman's Squeeze." Although it's relatively short, the Cantwell Cliffs hiking trail can be a challenging way to spend an hour and a half. During springtime, wildflowers dot the area.
The limestone cliffs extend from Gunung Kidul in Yogyakarta to the east. It answers question why Gunung Kidul has plenty of white sandy beaches.

Note the freshly added mud daubs around the nest entrance.
Cliff swallows build "adobe" enclosures that they glue to the junction of any cliff-like overhang (such the eaves of a roof) and a vertical wall in which they nest. These birds are collecting beaks-ful of mud they consider to be suitable for building/repairing their nests in Yellowstone.
Flocks of cliff swallows cumulatively consume tons of small insects, including pests like mosquitoes.
Near Hoyt Lakes, Minnesota. Another photo from last summer's Missabe Railroad Historical Society convention.
Directly above the Ball Inn site is Shining Cliff one of the most prominent limestone outcrops in Middleton Dale, though it's view is hidden by trees from many angles. It shows the depth of the limestone in the area which is why quarrying was so attracted.

No memory of posting this before. Taken back in August 12th of 2007. I bet it was a hot summer day on the delta.
This sign screamed, "Somebody, clean me!"
Vueltas harbour. It didn't take much to make it a selective b/w, grey as it was.

The Cliff Swallow (Petrochelidon pyrrhonota) is a member of the passerine bird family Hirundinidae — the swallows and martins.
It breeds in North America and Mexico, and is migratory, wintering in western South America from Venezuela southwards to northeast Argentina. This species is a very rare vagrant to western Europe.
This bird averages 13 cm (5 inches) long with a tiny bill. The adult has an iridescent blue back and crown, brown wings and tail, and buff rump. The nape and forehead are white. The underparts are white except for a red face. The tail is square-ended.
Young birds are essentially brown above and whitish below, except for the buff rump and dark face.
The only confusion species is the closely related Cave Swallow, which is richer in colour and has a cinnamon rump and forehead.
