This is a photos of Mono Cliffs which are a rift in the Niagara Escarpment somewhat north of Toronto in the Caledon area. 

This photograph was taken from a single engine light plane about 30 minutes after the dawn of an October morning when the trees were at the height of their autumn colour display. Our altitude was probably about 900 m

NOTE The dark band is not a river it is the shadow of the nears side cliffs cast into the valley. Since this is very early in the morning the sun was quite low in the sky behind us.

It might take a few million years to get anywhere but you can imagine what this amazing mountain has "seen" in its time...

Mont Aiguille (el. 2085 m./6842 ft.) is a mountain in the massif du Vercors in the French Prealps, located 58 km (36 mi) south of Grenoble. The mountain is most noted for its first ascent in 1492. Charles VIII ordered that the peak be climbed, so one of his servants, Antoine de Ville, made the ascent using a combination of ladders and other artificial aids.  This makes it particularly important to climbers and is now climbed many times each year. 

SAILING THE TECTONIC SEAS by David Cale

The mountain rears magnificent 
like a titanic ship’s prow 
it cuts through countless dawns 
sun warmed or storm wracked 
mute testimony 
to the tectonic brooding 
of the planet below our feet 

I am tempted to feel small 

But a mountain is just a mountain 
not a comment on me
