The Mrs. and I did our own bit of sightseeing before settling in for the Sausalito and San Francisco Fireworks.
This is one of several panoramas I did. I like the next one of Tennessee Cove the best of all. Wait for it... :-)
Note: Fireworks coming in a few more days - or you can watch the video snippet of the SF fireworks.

'Cliffs of Moher Panorama'
Panorama created by stitching 5 photos together using Canon's PhotoStitich utility.
Varkala is the only place in southern Kerala where cliffs are found adjacent to the Arabian Sea. These Cenozoic sedimentary formation cliffs are a unique geological feature on the otherwise flat Kerala coast, and is known among geologists as Varkala Formation and a geological monument as declared by the Geological Survey of India.

Through the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, Congress designated the Red Cliffs National Conservation Area (NCA) in Washington County, Utah “to conserve, protect, and enhance …the ecological, scenic, wildlife, recreational, cultural, historical, natural, educational, and scientific resources” of public lands in the NCA.
The Colorado Plateau, Great Basin Desert, and Mojave Desert overlap in Washington County. In this transition zone, unusual plant and animal species have evolved, including the dwarf bearclaw-poppy and Shivwits milk-vetch, small native plants that grow nowhere else on earth. The hot, arid Mojave Desert provides habitat for diverse wildlife, such as kit fox, Gambel’s quail, and the Mojave Desert tortoise. This native tortoise is listed under the Endangered Species Act and is at risk of extinction due to habitat loss and other factors. The newly-designated Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas are also within this NCA. Here, hikers, backpackers, and equestrians can enjoy scenic vistas, solitude, and natural quiet, just a few miles drive from local communities.
More than 130 miles of non-motorized recreation trails (hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trail riding) are available for public use in the NCA. The Red Cliffs Recreation Area offers camping and day use areas, in a developed site where fees are collected. All motorized vehicle travel, including Off-Highway Vehicles, is limited to designated roads in the NCA. No motorized or mechanized vehicle travel is allowed in the Red Mountain and Cottonwood Canyon Wilderness areas, without special authorization from BLM.

The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland's top Visitor attractions. The Cliffs are 214m high at the highest point and range for 8 kilometres over the Atlantic Ocean on the western seaboard of County Clare. O'Brien's Tower stands proudly on a headland of the majestic Cliffs. From the Cliffs one can see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay, as well as The Twelve Pins, the Maum Turk Mountains in Connemara and Loop Head to the South. The Cliffs of Moher take their name from a ruined promontory fort “Mothar” which was demolished during the Napoleonic wars to make room for a signal tower.
The Cliffs of Moher are home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland. The area was designated as a Special Protection Area (SPA) for Birds under the EU Birds Directive in 1986 and as a Refuge for Fauna in 1988. Included within the designated site are the cliffs, the cliff-top maritime grassland and heath, and a 200 metre zone of open water, directly in front of the cliffs to protect part of the birds' feeding area. The designation covers 200 hectares and highlights the area's importance for wildlife.
This popular swimming hole gets more than it's fair share of displays of bravery as individuals, couples, and groups leap from the cliff into the deep waters below. the drop is about 30 feet. Maybe a little more.
The Cliffs of Moher range for 8 kilometres along the western seaboard of County Clare, at the highest point the cliffs are 214m high. Down below is the mighty Atlantic Ocean. To appreciate this scale more fully, view this image in full screen and you’ll see a tiny man walking along the top of the nearest cliff.

Sutro Baths was on "fire" by the water reflection. I added the 6 star filter to make the picture little bit more dramatic of the street lamp. Do you like this idea? I do like your input and suggest of this star filter add on.

The popularity of Bude as a seaside resort dates from Victorian times. In the 19th Century it was notorious for its wreckers, who plundered the ships that came to grief off the coast - more than 80 between 1824 and 1874.
In 1823 the Bude Canal was dug to carry beach sand - used as a fertiliser - 20 miles inland to Launceston and for exporting local produce. It was this waterway that brought development to the town. The canal is now used for pleasure-boating and fishing.
The town overlooks a wide bay of hard golden sand flanked by spectacular cliffs and protected by a breakwater. There is a seawater swimming pool under Summerleaze Downs which means safety for swimmers even at low tide. Crooklets and Summerleaze beaches have extensive flat sands when the tide is out and these Atlantic-pounded beaches have been described by Australian surfers as the "Bondi of Britain."
This is Hunstanton beach at early hours of sunrise. My first time trying to produce a panoramic image.
