* A second shot from Spurn Point this time looking inland. Spurn is well known as somewhere to see fantastic sunsets . However this evening it was not that spectacular but still rather enjoyable to see . This was taken looking across the Humber estuary towards the East Yorkshire “ mainland “ . There is not a lot of water in the shot just some very wet mudbanks .
If you are interested in the area there is a description of Spurn Point in the text of my previous post

DELFT Railway Station - Het nieuwe station is met twee ondergrondse eilandperrons een uniek station dat door het slimme gebruik van daglicht en kunstlicht als een open, overzichtelijke en veilige plek wordt ervaren. De spil van het station is het brede stijgpunt met de mezzanine (tussenverdieping) die toegang geeft tot de perrons, de fietsenstalling en de stationshal en een ruimtelijk geheel met deze hal vormt.
DELFT Railway Station - the new station with two underground Island platforms a unique station that through the smart use of daylight and artificial light as an open, orderly and safe place is experienced. The spindle of the drive is the wide take off point with the mezzanine level giving access to the platforms, the bike shed and the station Hall and a spatial whole with this Hall.

As one of the most iconic images of Scotland, Eilean Donan is recognised all around the world. Situated on an island at the point where three great sea lochs meet, and surrounded by some majestic scenery, it is little wonder that the castle is now one of the most visited and important attractions in the Scottish highlands.
Although first inhabited around the 6th century, the first fortified castle was built in the mid 13th century and stood guard over the lands of Kintail. Since then, at least four different versions of the castle have been built and re-built as the feudal history of Scotland unfolded through the centuries.
Partially destroyed in a Jacobite uprising in 1719, Eilean Donan lay in ruins for the best part of 200 years until Lieutenant Colonel John MacRae-Gilstrap bought the island in 1911 and proceeded to restore the castle to its former glory. After 20 years of toil and labour the castle was re-opened in 1932.

Glacier's Grinnell Point framed with autumn gold.
Fall is coming, hurray. Been a hot, smoky summer. Looking forward to a few good photo safaris when the colors are turning and the wildlife is on the move.
Thanks for taking a look. Always appreciated.
Have a wonderful Wednesday.
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,

Lowell Point recreational trailhead located in Seward, Alaska. The beginning of a awesome hike to south beach and the old military fort I have yet to take.
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.

Pigeon Point lighthouse is one of the tallest lighthouses in America and the tallest on the west coast. It stands 115 feet and perched on a 35-foot cliff in Pescadero, California. It was built in 1871 and still an active US Coast Guard aid.

Hexagonal in shape, Gibraltar Point Lighthouse was built of limestone from the Queenston Quarry near Niagara River and originally stood sixteen metres (fifty-two feet) tall, until it was raised nine metres (thirty-feet) in 1832 to a total height of twenty-five metres (eight-two feet). No light was shown from the lighthouse from May 30 until nearly the end of June in 1932 while the lighthouse was being modified.
John P. Rademuller was hired as the first keeper of the lighthouse, and he served until he met a tragic end, as reported in the January 14, 1815 edition of theYork Gazette:
Died on the evening of the 2nd of January, J.P. Rademuller, keeper of the lighthouse on Gibraltar Point. From circumstances, there is moral proof of his having been murdered. If the horrid crime admits of aggravation when the inoffensive and benevolent character of the unfortunate sufferer are considered, his murder will be pronounced most barbarous and inhuman. The parties lost with him are the proposed perpetrators and are in prison.
Three months later, the Gazette reported, “No conviction of the supposed murderers of the late J.P. Rademuller.” Though the details of what happened that night in January 1815 have been lost, legend has it that soldiers from the York garrison visited Gibraltar Point that night to obtain beer from Keeper Rademuller. Some accounts say the keeper refused to sell to the soldiers, and others claim he overcharged them, but all agree that the soldiers became enraged, killed the keeper, and disposed of his body.

Went out on this lovely winter evening ... feeling more like Spring with temperatures near 60 degrees F. Of course they are calling for potential measurable snow again by Friday here ... we'll see.
Been wanting to take some captures at the relatively new park along Middle River, called Wilson Point Park. Nice boardwalk along the river, with some neat structures around too. Had some fun with them here in the blue hour.
