Baodingshan Cliff Carvings, Mount Baoding (Precious Summit), Chongqing, China, 26 April 2009. Created in 1174-1252 under the supervision of Zhao Zhi-feng, an extensive series of Dazu rock carvings (over 6,000) and cave temples reflect a variety of Buddhist doctrines, Confucian ethical and Taoist theories in the Song Dynasty. The remoteness and inaccessibility of this site meant it was unknown to the outside world until the 1980’s and luckily it escaped the destruction of the Cultural Revolution when so many religious and cultural sites were destroyed.
At the San Luis NWR, in Los Banos, California, above the door I noticed some Cliff Swallows starting to build their mud nests. It was quite interesting to see them form their nests. It seemed they were used to people, and they just kept on working. It was taken on April 7th, 2013.
We took a trip with Holo Holo Charters booked through Cyrus at Hanalei Bay Resort. It was fantastic. Starting with the booking experience with Cyrus. The down side is the 4:00 am wake up call so you can make it to Port Allen for the boat briefing. The sea was very clam and the whales slept in until mid day but we did see lots of whales, dolphins, and pilot whales after first visiting the Napali Coastline of Kauai. Since the sea was so clam it seemed like we could reach out and touch the cliffs. The early morning sun made it difficult to take pictures but I will leave that to memories. All the sea life was there as we made it over to Niihau “The Forbidden Island.” You can’t go on the island but we snorkeled so close you might as well walk up on the beach.
The weather was great, the crew was fantastic, Holo Holo feeds you all day and the food was good, and who needs a whale watch tour when the whales are swimming right next to you. Do not miss Holo Holo or talking to Cyrus at HBR for your next trip.
The Echo Cliffs is a prominent monocline in northern Arizona that runs for dozens of miles in a north-south direction, within the Navajo Nation and Coconino County, in northern Arizona. It is to the east of Grand Canyon National Park.
U.S. Highway 89 runs parallel to it in the valley on its western side.
Prominently exposed in the cliffs are the Chinle Formation of the Colorado Plateau. Its rocks are of the Glen Canyon Group above and the Moenkopi Formation below.

When traveling in northern California, I visited Petroglyph Point. I will be posting some the amazing petroglyphs I viewed in coming days.
The sign read:
"For thousands of years, the hill rising in front of you was an island. Ancient Lake Modoc lapped against its base, scouring cliffs. Later, Native Americans canoed to these cliffs to carve symbols in the soft volcanic tuff, and Mudocs still tell of Kamookumpts, creator of the world, who sleeps here."
"As you walk along the base of the cliff, a trail brochure will guide you past petroglyphs and through stories of Petroglyph Point and the native peoples who have gone before and continue today."
