7 . ●Cliffs of Moher, Ireland

These famous cliffs along England’s southeastern coast are as rich in history as they are in beauty. They stand tall along the Strait of Dover, separating England from France and continental Europe.

●Mount Thor, Canada

The name Mount Thor may inspire fear or respect — as well it should, considering this is the steepest, tallest cliff in the world. Mount Thor reaches an astonishing 4,101 feet above sea level, and the utter greatness of its vertical incline keeps it from being successfully climbed up until 1965. Today, it remains a challenging and popular place for rock climbers.

Across Africa

For six hours we shot through the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera     1     I used words. I had finished three notebooks and considered     2     (start) the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.

As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty — we hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something     3    (catch) my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was     4     I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them—brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they       5    (be) there next to us.

I shouted to Dan: “Look!” but he was in such a deep sleep that it was impossible to wake him up before they disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake     6     up?”

“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”

“Typical,” he said. “The     7     (good) photos are the ones we never take.”
