Pilots cottages on Llanddwyn. The pilots also manned the lifeboat station which was later run by the RNLI. A small light was established in 1823 by the Caernarfon Harbour Trustees as a navigational aid for entering the Menai Straits and Caernarfon harbour.
Banff's Pilot Mountain (9629 ft, 2935 m) is one of the most visible mountains along the TransCanada highway as it resides in a bend of the Bow Valley, therefore, it can be seen from either direction for quite a distance, hence a landmark for travelers.
Some people shoot birds and wildlife, others bugs and flowers. I'm addicted to peaks and mountains, and the beautiful ecosystems that surround them. Hope you don't get weary of primarily peak posts....
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
We've had some strong wind lately. More on its way tomorrow - statewide weather warning has been issued.
I spotted this beautiful cutter sailing down the Solent on Sunday. Looked into her history and to my surprise found she was not built one hundred and twenty years ago but in 2007 in Falmouth based on the Bristol Channel Pilot Cutters She was built to her original spec but for bronze fittings instead of iron and a twin sandwich plywood deck encased in epoxy resin and overlaid with teak. The interior fit out is beautifully done with all the mod conns.

The row of four small cottages on Llanddwyn Island was built for the pilots who helped boats navigate into the ports along the Menai Strait. This narrow channel dividing Anglesey from the Welsh mainland posed a threat of grounding on sand banks to the boats calling mainly at the ports of Caernarfon, Y Felinheli and Bangor to collect the fine roofing slate produced in the hills of North Wales. As well as guiding commercial shipping, the pilots crewed the Llanddwyn lifeboat until its wathdrawal from service in 1903.
Late afternoon in Sydney today.
Friday, 23rd January, 2026.
A pilot boat slicing across Sydney harbour near the Bradleys Head Lighthouse. A late afternoon sailing regatta in the distance.
So today after finishing work at Chatswood at 6.00pm I decided, rather suddenly, not to face the evil Lane Cove Tunnel and the hideous M2 in peak-period, but instead drive down to Mosman and check out the Sydney Harbour National Park.
I parked the car in a car-park near Athol Hall (a heritage building now serving as a cafe/restaurant), and tackled the Taylors Bay Walking Track which takes you through the National Park to Bradleys Head. All along the track you can see the harbour and its rocky foreshore through the trees.
You emerge from the forest near Bradleys Head Lighthouse, where there are little beaches with views across to the city.
I then waited for the sunset and took a zillion photos from the beach beside the Bradley's Head Ampitheatre. See:

The Matterhorn of the West.
As pointy as they get.
"Pilot Peak is a striking pinnacle in the immediate northeast of Yellowstone National Park. It is part of the volcanic Absaroka Range which forms the massive eastern escarpment of Yellowstone Plateau. It's sharp point made it an unforgettable landmark.
Pilot Peak proved invaluable to pioneers of the Greater Yellowstone region since they, along with the nearby Tetons, mark the boundaries of the steaming plateau known as Colter's Hell. The Washburn expedition in 1870, credited with 'discovering' Yellowstone Park, used Pilot Peak to guide them to the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and the incredible Geyser Basins beyond."
Thanks for taking a look!
May your week be wonderful!

On Llanddwyn Island. Anglesey.
The pilots resided here and met sailing ships that were heading up the Menai Straits.
Great in the Summer, but a nightmare in the Winter months I would have thought if you personally know the Menai Straits.
Nice storm brewing over our rented cottage in the far distance...good move coming here l'd say. :-)
Pilot Mouintain as seen from the Bow Valley Parkway, early morning on a frigid day in Banff National Park.
These are Short-finned Pilot Whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) messing about in a large pod off Baja. They are very deep diving whales so quite difficult to catch at the surface. There were about forty whales in this pod doing lots of spyhopping and tail-lobbing. I think there is a third animal visible here in front of the spyhopper. They are often found in large groups and are called Pilot Whales because they were believed to be piloted by a leader. The phrase "drop the pilot" means to abandon an untrustworthy or incompetent leader but it was also a 1983 single for Joan Armatrading.
Pilot Knob in the distance. Sunrise in the sierras in mid June 2020. Kings Canyon NP is in the wayyyyy distant ridge. June is now my preferred time to venture into the mountains! August was the champion but sooooo many years of smoke filled skies and too many people have lost its 1st place rank. Probably should get some snow shoes? Thought on June backpacking......
What an adventurous way to get to work! A harbor pilot is working his way around the deck of a pilot boat to, literally, jump onboard this cruise ship. The harbor pilot can assist the captain in bringing the ship to and from port, or they could take control of the ship and bring it in and out of port on their own.
I totally messed up on this one! With a very quick grab of my camera, I just didn't think to check my shutter speed, as it was a little too slow for action like this!
