These are the cliffs of Aquinnah located on the western tip  of Martha’s Vineyard.  These multicolored cliffs have been of interest to geologists and paleontologists for many years helping them to recount millions of years of the earth’s formation.  Bones of camels and wild horses as well as fossil bones of ancient whales have been found in the cliffs.
Many years ago people were allowed to climb the cliffs… today the cliffs are protected by law against such adventures.    The cliffs look different in each season… this particular picture of them was taken in the fall when the cliffs are exhibiting  cooler colors from the vibrant oranges that appear in the summer. To walk beneath the majesty of the cliffs allows you a closer look at the drama that took place in their formation. 

There’s not too much more I can say about the cliffs, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves.  

But if you visit Martha’s Vineyard you must try and see them, you won’t be disappointed they are spectacular.
