Rob > The tepui of Venezuela and Guyana contain some of the tallest cliffs on the planet, some up to 1000 meters (3200 feet) high. You're only seeing about 2/3rds of the full cliff in this photo.  They're really quite astonishing.  And scary.

Here, I pose near the edge of one.

Rob > Me, kneeling on the edge of a 2000+ foot sheer cliff.

I'm kneeling rather than standing, 'cause...well...it's a 2000+ foot sheer cliff.

Rob > Angel Falls as "seen" from the air.  

I put quotes around that word because I didn't actually get to see this as I shot it - it was on the other side of the aircraft from me.  I held my camera across the little Cessna over the pilot's shoulder and blind-fired about four shots.  Amazingly, not only did I get the falls in the shot, the composition wasn't too bad!

If you can't be good, you might as well be lucky...
