Extending out dramatically over Niagara Gorge, the architectural wonder of the Niagara Falls USA Prospect Point Observation Tower provides unobstructed views of the wild cascades of Niagara Falls, as well as the raging whitewater below.
The tower provides the only panoramic view of all three Niagara Falls. Bird watchers love it because they can spot peregrine falcons, bald eagles and the many different gull species present in the Niagara Gorge.
I tried to get this shot last year and got skunked so I was pretty happy to get it this year! The balloon glow at the Colorado Balloon Classic over Prospect lake.
....or what's left of it. This was a 19th Century commercial adventure that failed: bringing well-to-do adventurers from Lake George to the peak of Prospect Mountain turned out to be not very lucrative.
Nearly three solid days of rain and fog showed us why a lighthouse was needed at the entrance to Prospect Harbor, Maine. The original lighthouse in a thriving fishing village was activated in 1850, but was replaced in 1891 with the current wood framed lighthouse. As most modern, working lighthouses, Prospect Harbor Light was automated in 1951.
Prospect Hill tower / park in Somerville MA is a great sunset view spot in the winter, since the sunset has migrated further south and most of the trees have lost their leaves. It should get even better for the next few weeks as the sunset moves further south till the solstices and the last of the fall foliage falls off.
(In the summer, it's just an ok sunset view spot - it's pleasant to be there, but much of the sunset ends up behind thick tree leaves.)
First film role with a Makina W67… great experience using this iconic camera. This building was designed and built by Frank Gehry. It’s situated next to the Battersea Power Station in London
He is not prospecting gold or catching fish. He is collecting boulders to be used for construction of roads, buildings and infrastructures to enrich our civilization. Someswary River has been carrying stones alongwith sand and silt from the mountainous upstream for hundreds of years. After days of hardwork he earns a meager amount to feed his family only.

The overlook at the Opabin Prospect, looking out over Lake O’Hara and Mary Lake, is one of the best hike-rewards I’ve ever seen.
Thanks for looking! I appreciate all your comments and faves!

Madagascar - Un travail sale et épuisant. Exploiter quelques lopins de terre serait sans doute plus rentable. Mais l'espoir -illusoire- de faire fortune, incite ces paysans à se reconvertir dans la prospection d’or.
Madagascar - Exhausting work. Continuing to exploit a few plots of land would undoubtedly be more profitable. But the illusory hope of making a fortune encourages these peasants to retrain in prospecting for gold.
UP 2646 sits in a prime spot in the East Minneapolis Yard underneath the distant Prospect Park Tower. With fences and other obstructions, I was waiting for the ideal time to get a train and the tower together in the same frame. East Minneapolis has been a busier part of the UP's local network with the addition of intermodal container service making for a higher likelihood of getting both objects in the frame.
I'm sure there used to be a stile here, now it's a kissing gate, but this spot along the Cotswold Way near Bath is still called Prospect Stile with a lovely view over Kelston Round Hill. We parked at Bath Park and Ride this week and walked the six miles along the Cotswold Way into Bath, a lovely city to approach this way. And after a well earned cuppa, got the bus back.
