Ha! But yes, maybe we should move on and someone post another one.
Last hasn't visited the site since the 20th so may be off doing other things.
We can always revisit this one later.

Grand Canyon but does not look quite like I remember it, but that is what I will go with.

Looking for the name of the location I'm on/about to visit just ahead.

[GregR]

The edge of death by the look of it!!!!

[sandym]

Yaki Point?

[johnw]

The edge of death by the look of it!!!!

It felt a bit like that looking over it . Still a good 300 or 400 m to the bottom.
Although the name of this place has more to do with horizontal than vertical.

Yaki Point?

Not Yaki Point. I've descended into the inner canyon about 900m vertical and probably around 9 km distance from the rim.

[sandym]

Bright Angel track or South Kaibab?

[johnw]

Bright Angel track or South Kaibab?

Two very different answers a fair distance apart.
One of them is partly correct but I'm not looking for the name of a trail.
The much visited feature I'm both on and looking at has a specific name. Some good clues in my previous post.
Clicking my photo twice to fully zoom in will give more detail, which may or may not help.

[johnw]

I have posted from this spot previously in the game, albeit not from this aspect.

[ribuck]

Plateau Point. I'm surprised by how undeveloped the trail appears though.

Correct ribuck. The engineering on Bright Angel Trail becomes more rudimentary on the horizontal plateau once past Indian Gardens.

[ribuck]

Thanks johnw.

The following cliffs are in England. They share their name with a nearby town.

Hunstanton Beach Cliffs, Norfolk.
Carrstone, chalk (limestone) and some iron oxide I'm led to believe.

[ribuck]

That's correct, johnw.

As the photo shows, it's one of the sunniest places in England. "Sunny Hunny" they call it.

[johnw]

Lots of interesting places in the UK. Long time since I visited, hopefully again one day.

USA:

Glacier Bay NP, Alaska USA

I will start the bidding with Alaska.

[johnw]

You've narrowed it down. Which location in Alaska?
You don't need to name the glaciers, just the locality.
