* 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

Isn't it just like Heaven
When You walk into the room
There's not a thing that's hidden
When every eye is on You
Can't get enough of Your presence
It's the perfect point of view
Isn't it just like, just like
Just like Heaven?
Hmm, come a little closer, stay a little longer
Hmm, I can't get enough of You
Hmm, come a little closer, stay a little longer
Hmm, I can't get enough of You
Doesn't it sound like Heaven
When You're singing over me
There's not a voice more constant
Your melodies, they never cease
Here I will stand in Your presence
In my true identity
Doesn't it sound like, yeah, it sounds like
Just like Heaven

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%.
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.

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.

Wanted a Sunrise, but poor planing meant I didn't get here till gone 10am, it was one of those days when everything went against me.
A combination of strong wind and bad technique left this shot quite mushy, but the brief sunset light with lots of dust in the air made for a good scene nonetheless. Grimes Point is an archaeological site near Fallon NV with some of the oldest petroglyphs around. The NV Rock Art Foundation notes that this site dates back 8,000 years, when the shoreline of ancient lake Lahontan filled the desert floor below.
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.

Located five miles north of the Dead Sea at 380 meters below sea level, this sacred site on the River Jordan offers visitors a profoundly authentic spiritual journey. As the revered location of Jesus Christ's baptism by John the Baptist, it marks a monumental turning point in human history and the birth of Christianity. Visitors can also explore numerous surrounding churches. To fully enjoy this remarkable site, plan your visit during the cooler months to escape the extreme summer heat of the Jordan Valley.

... at Pemaquid Point. A great sunset there while we visited. Ms. Krach purchased two 'to be used' metal prints from a company through Living Social I think. This shot may be one that I get done in metal (aluminum).
