It always amazes me when I look at cliff landscapes how small we are in comparison to nature. While people were walking around sightseeing, I noticed a tiny blue dot in the middle of the cliff.

Another nice shot of this immense cliff. I agree with Billy, that person on the rock really amplifies the size of this cliff.
