Fort Worden, Port Townsend, Washington
(Point Wilson Light, built in 1914, is an important navaid overlooking the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, the waterway which connets the Strait of Juan de Fuca with Puget Sound.)
The railing is quite functional but everything points to the old railway inn that used to service the old railway line that is no longer there. So the vanishing point form, the absence of colour and the meaning; the receeding past, seemed to align quite nicely.
We found this really great view at Gamboa Point on Highway No 1. I loved the lonely palm trees at the upper beach. In the background you can see the bridge over the Big Creek Cove.
The lighthouse at Hurst Point on a wet and windy day. Its a very interesting and atmospheric place near Milford On Sea on the south coast. There also Hurst Castle which is very interesting and great views of the Needles and the Isle Of Wight.
Continuing my Brisbane Tourist Guide ;)
Kangaroo Point is located on a peninsula formed of harder rhyolite rock which the Brisbane River flows around. On the northern tip of the peninsula the Story Bridge connects it to the central business district and the suburb of Fortitude Valley.
The suburb of Woolloongabba is located to the south. The six-laned Main Street runs from Story Bridge to Woolloongabba. The landscape of Kangaroo Point is predominantly high rise apartments towards the tip of the peninsula while the other end is predominantly low-medium density apartments and houses.
Kangaroo Point is a popular recreation spot, conveniently close to the city and the South Bank Parklands. The Kangaroo Point Cliffs, situated on the east bank of the city bend of the Brisbane River north of the Maritime Museum, opposite the Brisbane River Stage and the Queensland University of Technology at Gardens Point.

The cliffs are a popular picnic, rock climbing and abseiling site. The steepness of the cliffs was increased by quarrying operations which mined the volcanic rock or rhyolite lava flows which form the cliffs. These lavas were deposited in the Tertiary period about 30 million years ago and filled up an ancient river valley. They currently form the banks of the Brisbane River.

Nugget Point / Tokata at the northern end of the Catlins, Otago, New Zealand takes its English name from the rocky islets, here highlighted in late afternoon sunlight, which were named by early whalers as "The Nuggets". The Maori name, Tokata, translates as rock.
The lighthouse first operated on 4 July 1870.

It's been a lovely day, sunny and warm 🌞😊 perfect time for riding my bicycle to the lighthouse this afternoon. I took this image from the cliffs, standing on the coast path. Beautiful view, thankful I am to be here. South Wales Coast, Nash Point Lighthouse. Bristol Channel Coast, United Kingdom.
Coppermine Point Lighthouse was orginally located, 3 kilometers away, at Coppermine Point, Batchawana Bay. The wooden pyramidal lighthouse was built in 1910 and deactivated in 1969. Subsequently, it was moved to its present location overlooking Hibbard Bay / Lake Superior, as part of a restaurant- -the restaurant failed, the lighthouse abandoned and allowed to decay. Five second exposure with a six stop B+W ND106 solid neutral density filter.
This was the magnificent view that greeted us at Bryce Canyon upon our arrival, close to sunset. This is from Sunrise Point.

Petit-duc maculé | Eastern Screech Owl | Megascops asio
Deux jours après avoir aperçu son mâle au trou no 2, j'ai retrouvé la dame Petit-duc de forme grise (celle à la moustache carré) au trou no 1, ce même trou où elle a été vue à plusieurs reprises l'année dernière, ce même trou où elle a été si joliment captée en janvier avec son mâle! J'espérais bien pour le jour de la Saint-Valentin les retrouver ensemble, lors de cette courte visite par -20°C ... Et bien non, madame était seule...
Autre point de vue...
Sur cette photo il s'agit toujours du même oiseau dans la même cavité, seule ma position a changé. En m'approchant au pied de l'arbre afin de faire une prise en contre-plongée, j'obtiens ainsi un point de vue complètement différent... Observation intéressante, on peut apercevoir ici l'effet d'un petit coup de vent qui aura tout «échevelé» son aigrette droite!
Please take your time... to View it large on black
A classic view of the lighthouse beyond the cliffs. This is one of the best places imaginable for watching the sunset. A short walk visiting Neist Point, most western point on Skye. This spectacular headland is a good place for bird, dolphins and whale-watchers. The made-up path ends just before the lighthouse and cottages, where are on fenced private land. The complex was built in 1909 at a cost of £4,350 - the engineer being David A Stevenson of the famous Stevenson family of lighthouse builders. A place to look out for breaching fins and blows in the sea. Have a look at the walking route.
Photo taken on a boggy path northwest from the car park for about half a kilometre. The stormy wind up here almost blew my camera from my neck!!!
Een bekend en prachtig uitzicht op de vuurtoren achter de rotsen. Dit is een van de mooiste plekken van Skye om de zonsondergang te bekijken. Een wandeling van een uur brengt je naar het meest westelijk punt van Skye: Neist point. Een goeie plek om uit te kijken naar vogels, dolfijnen en walvissen. Een klein wandelpad brengt je naar het vuurtoren complex. Het vuurtoren complex was destijds in 1909 gebouwd voor maar £4,350 door David A Stevenson. Een bekende familienaam die meer vuurtorens bouwden. Zie hier de wandelkaart.
