Built to Thrill, Cliffwalk can safely support 45 tonnes (100,000 pounds)—equal to the weight of 35 adult orca whales and stretches 213 metres (700 feet) along Capilano Canyon. Non-invasive and over-engineered at the same time, Cliffwalk is supported with only 16 anchor points set into the cliff.
Cliffwalk, a Canadian Signature Experience, opened in 2011. It reaches out from the granite cliff face above Capilano River offering breathtaking views and unique perspectives of the Capilano Suspension Bridge Park and its lush Rainforest vegetation. www.capbridge.com/experiences/cliffwalk/
Cape Farewell is a headland in New Zealand, the most northerly point on the South Island. It is located just west of Farewell Spit. First mapped by Abel Tasman, it was named by British explorer Captain James Cook in 1770 —it was the last land seen by his crew as they departed on the ship's homeward voyage.
You can have an awesome track along the cliff to meet the Tasman Sea beginning of Farewell Spit up to Wharaiki Beach.

This rather short cliff walk is located at First Summit (2,168 m) right above Grindelwald in the Bernese Oberland. It is very stable and not dangerous at all.
First and the cliff walk can best be reached by cable car from Grindelwald. The gondola ride takes 25 minutes and offers spectacular views.
Thank you for your visits / comments / faves!
Simply WOW!
The wild northwestern coast of the South Island is the perfect place for a day adventure. You can start with the massive cliffs at Cape Farewell and the nearby Wharariki Beach.
Going further north form Cape Farwell you’ll find the Farewell Spit, with it’s distinctive Kiwi shape curving round Golden Bay.
Cape Farewell is a headland in New Zealand, the most northerly point on the South Island. It is located just west of Farewell Spit.
This area was discovered by Abel Tasman first. Some years later Captain James Cook passed this headland in 1770. As it was the last land seen by him and his crew as they departed on the ship’s homeward voyage, he gave this beautiful cape its name – Cape Farewell.
You can do the „Cliff Top Walk“ which is 2-3 hours one-way along the heights of the coast East of the cape and joins the area with the beginning of Farewell Spit. There are stunning views all along the walk of the Tasman Sea to one side, of the sanddunes in the northeast. As well as of the towering cliffs and rocky, primal landscapes to the shoreward (east) side.
One of the mansions in Newport RI blocking my view of the sunset, I didn't even notice this until my brother told me to look back, it was an amazing scene.

Cliffwalk is a series of narrow walkways, stairs, and viewing platforms anchored to the sheer cliff face with suspended cantilevers. Cliffwalk hovers as high as 30 storeys above the Capilano River Canyon and Rainforest.
This caught my eye, when on the walk along the cliffs at Lizard Point in Cornwall. A random, long flight of stairs coming all the way to the sea. The access was unfortunately sealed off and the stairs seemed partly damaged.

I would settled for this outbuilding which is located on the property of a large, sprawling mansion on Cliffwalk, Newport, Rhode Island.

On the cliff walk at Ardmore is another "holy well" called Father O´Donnell´s Well, which is supposed to heal all kinds of eye ailments. I can't vouch for the truth in that but it's a pleasant place to sit a while. On the headland you can see one of the two watchtowers that were used during the war.
Wishing you all a fun filled Friday. :-)))
Aside from the main point of interest in this place - The Twelve Apostles, I admired this golden cliff lit in late afternoon glow. Everyone fled to it's edge to get the best view of the famous rock formations.

It gives me great pleasure to share these views of the Cliffs of Moher. Here we can see O'Brien's Tower and Branaunmore sea stack at it's base, further down Nags Head. The weather was not the best on this particular day, it misted rain and the wind was fierce but that didn't worry me. I was dressed perfectly in light layers, a windbreaker jacket with a hood, I was as close to heaven as a soul can be.
Have a lovely Saturday my friends. :-)

Cliffwalk
Hovering as high as 30 storeys above the Capilano River Canyon, Cliffwalk is a series of narrow walkways, stairs, and viewing platforms anchored to the sheer cliff face with suspended cantilevers. [...]. Cliffwalk stretches its way 213 metres (700 feet) along Capilano Canyon. Non-invasive and over-engineered at the same time, Cliffwalk is supported with only 16 anchor points set into the cliff.
Cliffwalk reaches out from the granite cliff face above Capilano River. It’s high and narrow, and in some sections open grated walkways are all that separate you from the canyon far below. Follow the path for breathtaking views and unique perspectives on the surrounding landscape and rainforest vegetation.
This is the view from Cliff Walk in Radcliffe-on-Trent (not to be confused with Ratcliffe-on-Soar which is about 10 miles further west and has the famous power station...). I've never really thought of the land around the Trent being especially hilly so was surprised to find these cliffs and this view. The train viaduct (I've been over that on the Grantham to Nottingham train) is visible at the top left. I might try this again one day with a bigger camera perhaps, ideally with some nice clouds out and about to help the scene. This was a grey old day but still an impressive view.

A final scene from Bardolph weir with an emphasis this time on the white water. Both the houseboats from earlier photos are in the background this time.

The Cliff walk, also known as "Monastery Walk", around Ardmore Head is one of the most beautiful loop walks in County Waterford. There´s lots to see along the way, so let me take you on a little photographic excursion along this scenic hike.
Ardmore in County Waterford is believed to be one of the oldest monasteries in Ireland. Saint Declan converted the people of the Decies an ancient principality of southern Ireland, to Christianity about 400 AD.
We started the cliff walk at Ardmore Cliff Hotel
Saint Declan's Well and Hermitage is situated a little way up the cliff walk, next to the sea, overlooking the beach and Ardmore Bay. It was used to baptize the Christian missionaries. Declan also built himself a monk´s cell next to the Holy Well to retreat into seclusion.
This is a very special place it feels like hallowed ground and it's breathtaking beautiful. :-)
The weir at Bardolph on the river Trent. It's pretty huge.

Love the green reflections on the wet surfaces of floor & granite block.

I really liked this composition but it was not an easy scene to capture. There was a rock wall directly behind me and the waves were coming in and out so I'd have to climb up and try to sneak in a shot between those waves. I wanted to get the whole scene in focus but without a tripod and the light fading I couldn't really go any lower than f7.1. I eventually went back to do a redo but the scene was totally different, I will post that photo at a later date.
