There is a small area in our backyard, below a rock wall, that doesn't get mowed. I find some real treasures down there :)
Bass Point is a headland in Australia on the New South Wales south coast. The point was named by Matthew Flinders in around 1800, after his friend and fellow explorer George Bass. Wikipedia
* Given that Spurn Point is relatively close to Hull I guess it's surprising I do not go there often. It is the oddest and wildest part of East Yorkshire with huge skies. However I find it too desolate to really enjoy, though some of my friends who are serious birders love it . This shot was taken on the narrowest parts of the spit. On the left hand side is the North Sea and on the right the waters of the Humber estuary . The little wooden cabin is a shelter in case a high tide cuts you off from the mainland which is not uncommon. You can see the lighthouse which is about four miles further along the spit.
Its a hard place to describe so I will borrow some text from the Yorkshire wildlife trust .
From the Yorkshire wildlife trust website
Spurn Point (or Spurn Head as it is also known) is a narrow sand spit on the tip of the coast of the East Riding of Yorkshire, that reaches into the North Sea and forms the north bank of the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is over 3 miles long, almost half the width of the estuary at that point, and as little as 50 yards wide in places. The southernmost tip is known as Spurn Head or Spurn Point and is the home to an RNLI lifeboat station and disused lighthouse. It forms part of the civil parish of Easington.
Spurn Head covers 280 acres above high water and 450 acres of foreshore. It has been owned since 1960 by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and is a designated National Nature Reserve, Heritage Coast and is part of the Humber Flats, Marshes and Coast Special Protection Area.
The peninsula is made up from sand and shingle as well as Boulder Clay eroded from the Holderness coastline washed down the coastline from Flamborough Head. Material is washed down the coast by longshore drift and accumulates to form the long, narrow embankment in the sheltered waters inside the mouth of the Humber estuary. It is maintained by plants, especially Marram grass . Waves carry material along the peninsula to the tip, continually extending it; as this action stretches the peninsula it also narrows it to the extent that the sea can cut across it in severe weather. When the sea cuts across it permanently, everything beyond the breach is swept away, only to eventually reform as a new spit pointing further south. This cycle of destruction and reconstruction occurs approximately every 250 years. The now crumbling defences will not be replaced and the spit will continue to move westwards at a rate of 2 metres per year, keeping pace with the coastal erosion further north.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO

DEW POINT
The dew point is the temperature at which dew would form assuming all other conditions remained the same. The dew point is a function of the air temperature and humidy. The dew point temperature can never be higher than the air temperature. If the dew point temp and air temp are the same, than the humidity must be 100%.
Eastern Point is "the other" Cape Ann lighthouse - Annisquam's ugly sister. Perhaps I'm being unfair. I don't like it nearly as much as Annisquam, not because it is ugly, but because it has a stubborn, "hard to get" character. This may all change after I charm it with my first drone dance (coming soon 😄!).
Point Lookout Lighthouse ~ Original lighthouse built in 1830. In 1927, the lighthouse was expanded toward the Potomac River and divided into a duplex so that two families could live in the lighthouse. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1966.
A sundown at the Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. It was a very cold December day after the sun set. It was also a very warm looking sunset. This was shot a couple of months after the record setting flood that swept Death Valley. Some of the roads were still closed. National Park Services from CA, NV, and AZ contributed to restoring most of the main roads.
The low area in Zabriskie Pont is now covered with light colored sandstone sediment from the heavy rains. Earlier that year, the low area was dark colored.
Later after blue hour, I took a hike down into the low grounds for some panoramas. It was cold, and the ground was hard. The winds had picked up and the temperature had dropped about 20 degrees once the sun went down. Nevertheless, a peaceful hike.

Golden hour at Glacier Point, with views of the Merced River Canyon, Half Dome, Liberty Cap and the Ansel Adams Wilderness in the background. I've not been here for more than five years, so I was happy that the road to Glacier Point opened last week. We were fortunate to arrive before the road was reclosed due to snow.
Happy Wednesday! Thanks, as always, for stopping by and for all of your kind comments -- I appreciate them all.

A sunrise worth sharing taken on Saturday morning with a telephoto lens at Torquay Beach in Victoria, Australia. The swell was large and colours vivid.

McGulpin Point Lighthouse (1869) is located on a bluff overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. It was deactivated in 1906 and until recently the lighthouse was a private residence.
Emmet County purchase the lighthouse for $720,000 in the summer of 2008. In the Spring of 2009 Emmet County replaced the long missing light & lantern room and began returning the residence portion of the lighthouse into a museum dedicated to the history of McGulpin's Point Light and the surrounding McGulpin family land. Since May 30th, the McGulpin Point Light shines across the Straits for the first time since 1906.
The grounds are open anytime. McGulpin Point Lighthouse is now a museum, but I think the best reason for entering the building is to climb the winding red stairway to the top of the tower. Even better it's FREE!
Thank you for taking the time to visit, have a wonderful weekend. :-)
A slightly different perspective on one of the Elegug stacks. From here it looks like an needle, or the "aim point" at the end of a rifle!
The light was very strange here on this evening and the colours were fabulous. An enchanting place to be, all alone with a camera! In the spring this stack is full of nesting seabirds, particularly Guillemots and Elegug is the Welsh word for that species.
Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean from the spectacular Big Sur Coast, the Point Sur Lighthouse stands as a silent sentinel to a by-gone era.
Point Sur, a National Historic Landmark, is the only complete turn-of-the-century light station open to the public in California.
From 1899 until 1974, families lived and worked in the buildings atop Point Sur. Today the place is a ghost town.
The unique stone lighthouse still guides ships with its light, though it is now totally automated.
Thank you for your comments,
Gemma

Shortly after shooting the lighthouse posted before this, and after the sun had set, I was shooting some long exposures on the water and looked up and saw this amazing sky. It only lasted a few minutes but it was one of the best I've ever seen.

The first peoples in Cape Naturaliste were the Wardandi Aboriginals, who called it "Kwirreejeenungup", meaning "the place with the beautiful view". In 1801, the French navigator Nicolas Baudin stopped here on 30 May during his exploration of Australia. The French were mapping the coast of New Holland (Australia). Baudin named the bay they found Geographe Bay, after his flagship, Géographe. Later, the cape was named after the expedition's second ship, Naturaliste.
