Most of the plants was beginning to sink in the earth, specially in this dry summer.<br />They are in danger, because the cliffs are falling by the water erosion and many animals step on them.</span><br /></span><br /><div style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cactushorridus/84876886/in/set-1815574/" title="cactus horridus"><img src="http://static.flickr.com/38/84876886_99b4d155d3_m.jpg" alt="" style="border: 2px solid rgb(0, 0, 0);" /></a></div><span tyle="font-size:85%;" style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Here is Daniela and Enrique (and Florencia).
