The "Caminito del Rey" is an awesome walkway constructed on the steep and deep cliffs of the "Desfiladero de los Gaitanes", a canyon in Andalusia, southern Spain. Originally built near the end of the 19th century and in serious state of decay, the path was off limits until a mayor restoration was undertaken only recently. Now, visitors can safely enjoy the breathtaking views and experience the excitement of just having a few planks, or this glass floor balcony (!) beneath their feet preventing a sheer drop of over 300ft... Well worth a visit, but not for those with more than casual vertigo.

Old derelict tin mines with their cliff rocks and rubble were influential in the making of this image - plus a little bit of visual licence :-)
Cliff Flycatcher presents beautiful rufous colouring, distinctive for the Tyrant Flycatchers family. This species was a lifer for me on my Brazil trip; even though it has a wide range through South America, I had not seen it on previous visits to the continent. (eBird describes it as “widespread though rarely very numerous.”) This bird was seen in the Teresópolis area of Parque Nacional da Serra dos Órgãos in Rio de Janeiro State.
Bempton is an RSPB Reserve in East Yorkshire - all the hundreds of tiny white dots on the cliff face are Gannets . This is one of the worlds largest Gannet colonies and the streaks over the sea are the non- incubating birds as they fly to and from their nests.
I'm not sure if it is a person called Cliff or the cliff that it is on top of...but clearly Carmel likes him (or it). So, if it’s a him and they’re married presumably they are Mr Cliff and Mrs Carmel Kasp?
Here is another coastal shot from Sunset Cliffs. I know the color may seem extreme, but I was trying to go for a dreamier painting like feel on this one. The light was very interesting as the bank of fog sat off the coast and diffused the light. Hope you enjoy, let me know what you think!

A distant view of Kenidjack Cliff Castle. A definite return to explore this iron Age Fort and the surounding area! A 204sec exposure with a 3stop med grad and a 10stop ND
The base of Bempton cliffs at the end of Filey bay. You can just make out lots of Gannets flying around the cliffs.
Looking north east...
The cliff falling away.... it used to be the coastal footpath... then Chesil beach... Fortuneswell... the marina... Portland harbour and wall... then Weymouth Bay... Weymouth beach and the Jurassic Coast

The lake was formed due to a massive landslide at Attabad village in Gilgit-Baltistan, 9 miles (14 km) upstream (east) of Karimabad that occurred on January 4, 2010. All type of traffic on KKH to and from China was disconnected. In next few days, Attabad Lake was converted into a dam with 130-200 m depth and 22 km length. If this dam was left to be further filled, it would have resulted into a “Dam burst scenario” and would have been the worst disaster of the world. In case of the dam burst, the flow of water downhill towards Gilgit would have been so massive that most of the bridges and villages astride river Hunza would have been completely washed away.

Die Cliffs of Moher sind die bekanntesten Steilklippen Irlands. Sie liegen an der Südwestküste der irischen Hauptinsel im County Clare nahe den Ortschaften Doolin und Liscannor.
Die Klippen ragen an vielen Stellen nahezu senkrecht aus dem atlantischen Ozean und erstrecken sich über mehr als acht Kilometer. Am Südende, dem Hag’s Head, haben sie eine Höhe von ungefähr 120 m, nördlich des O’Brien’s Tower erreichen sie sogar 214 m.
Am 8. Februar 2007 wurde das Besucherzentrum mit befestigten Gehwegen fertiggestellt. Der etwa 200 Meter lange Teil des Besucherwegs, der sich bis zum O’Brien’s Tower erstreckt, wurde aus Sicherheitsgründen seitlich durch bis zu 1,40 Meter hohe Steinplatten begrenzt, so dass die Besucher nicht mehr direkt bis an das Cliff herantreten können. Seitdem ist die Sicht auf die Klippen eingeschränkt.
The Cliffs of Moher are located at the southwestern edge of the Burren region in County Clare, Ireland.[2][3] They rise 120 metres (390 ft) above the Atlantic Ocean at Hag's Head and reach their maximum height of 214 metres (702 ft) just north of O'Brien's Tower, eight kilometres to the north.

Nests are made from seaweed, plants, earth and debris from the sea. The males usually collect the materials. Nests are compact cups typically 30–60 cm (12–24 in) in height. The area which a nest occupies grows throughout the breeding season as the breeding pairs throw their excrement outside the nest. Over years, nests can reach 2m (6+1⁄2 ft) in height. (Wikipedia).
Gannets arrive on mass to gather nesting material.

Impresionantes siempre mis paseos por los acantilados del parque Natural de la Sierra Helada.
Lovely walks around these impressive local cliffs when I need to dissconect from my daily routines.

So on the second day of the year I found myself wide eyed and bushy tailed at 5.30 am and could not fall back to sleep so for the first time ever got myself down to my local before 6am and was surprised the beach was full of health conscious folks doing their thing and these brave souls daring the seas. Not long after these waves crashed right next to them the guy on the left retreated quick smart to the side of the cliff whereas the other shifted one step to the left and continued right on with what he was doing...lucky the seas calmed down somewhat.
Other than that I wasn't rewarded with a beautiful sunrise but rather a cloudy one.

The Aberystwyth Cliff Railway / Rheilffordd y Graig opened on 1 August 1896. It is a 778 feet (237 m) long funicular railway in Aberystwyth and is the second longest funicular railway in the British Isles, after the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Since November 1987, the Aberystwyth Cliff Railway has been a Grade II listed structure.
The Cliff Railway was developed as an element of Constitution Hill, a Victorian business venture by the Aberystwyth Improvement Company in the 1890s. The funicular took visitors to the top of the hill, where attractions such as a camera obscura were established. The cliff railway was originally a water balance system, but it was electrified during 1921
The cliff railway was originally a cable-drawn balanced system moving a pair of cars, with a maximum capacity of 30 passengers, permanently connected via a continuous cable.[1] When opened, it operated using a water balance system, which used a Worthington Corporation compound steam engine water pump housed in the lower station to move water to the upper station. Each passenger car had a tank in their chassis that could hold 4 tonnes of water. Water was added to the tank of the top car, which descended under gravity, hauling the lighter lower car on the parallel track to the top station.
The railway is straight, ascending about 430 feet (130 m) over a horizontal distance of 778 feet (237 m), a maximum gradient of more than 1:2 (50 per cent). The gauge is 4 ft 8 in (1,422 mm), slightly narrower than standard gauge, and laid on timber sleepers.
In 1921, the railway was electrified using a 41 kW ATB AG [de] Morley DC motor. In 1934, after changes to the town’s electricity supply, a mercury arc rectifier and transformer were installed in the lower station to provide a 440V DC power output. The cars are moved using a high-tensile steel cable attached to both vehicles. It passes around a drum, mounted on a vertical axis between the tracks at the top. The motor drives the drum controlled by an automated cut-off which stops the motor and the cars when required.
