===============================
"Die Kreidefelsen von Dover sind Klippen, die einen Teil der britischen Küstenlinie formen und auf die Straße von Dover und Frankreich hinausschauen. Sie sind Teil des North Downs-Hügelzuges. Die Front der Klippen, die bis zu 106 Meter hoch ist, verdankt ihr beeindruckendes Aussehen ihrer Zusammensetzung aus Kalk (purem weißem Kalziumkarbonat), durchsetzt mit schwarzem Feuerstein. Die Klippen verlaufen östlich und westlich der Stadt Dover im County Kent, einem alten und noch immer bedeutsamen englischen Hafen.
Die Kreidefelsen haben einen großen Symbolwert für Großbritannien, da sie am schmalsten Teil des Ärmelkanals Kontinentaleuropa zugewandt sind – dort, wo in der Vergangenheit Invasionen drohten und gegen die die Klippen einen symbolischen Schutz darstellen. Da die Überquerung des Kanals bei Dover vor dem Aufkommen des Luftverkehrs die beste Möglichkeit war, auf den Kontinent zu gelangen, bildet die weiße Linie der Klippen Reisenden auch die erste bzw. letzte Ansicht auf das Vereinigte Königreich."

The picture perhaps doesn't do it justice - it was so windy it was hard to keep the camera still! It's a bit rough down there!

The cliffs of Moher, to the western side of Ireland, nearby Galway. Awesome - well worth visiting. For scale, see the people at the top, walking crazily close to the precipice!
Black Sand Basin (Yellowstone National Park), an isolated group of the Upper Geyser Basin, was originally named the Emerald Group by A.C. Peale in 1878. But turn of the century tourists began calling it Black Sand Basin because of the small fragments of black obsidian sand which cover portions of the basin.
Black Sand Basin contains a small collection of jewel-like geysers, and colorful hot springs. Emerald Pool is the most colorful and famous of these springs. It is a deep emerald green fringed by an outer ring of yellow and orange. Another colorful pool is Opalescent Pool. This recently formed pool inundated a stand of lodgepole pine, creating a stand of white skeletons amidst a rainbow-colored pool. An unusual geyser formed on the bank of Iron Creek. Cliff Geyser formed a rim or wall-like ridge of sinter around its crater from which it erupts 30 to 40 feet high.
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 Saltburn Cliff Railway opened in 1883, it connects the pier with the town. It's two carriages operate by pumping water up to the top carriage, when it is heavy enough it travels down the 120 foot drop to the bottom station, pulling the lighter carriage from the bottom up. When it reaches the bottom the whole process is repeated.
