Looking west across the St Clair River towards Port Huron Michigan from the Point Lands in Sarnia Ontario.
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.

Eagle Point sits on the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River from the Iowa side. The river is pretty wide here. The stuff in the river are dying lilies.
Ces derniers jours furent pluvieux, puis ensoleillés, puis pluvieux, puis venteux ... puis ensoleillés !
Bref, une multitudes de ciels et de lumières sur cette pointe si photogénique.
Point Cabrillo Lighthouse near Mendocino .. Given a prior visit to the beautiful Heceta Head Lighthouse in Oregon, we have visited two of the three British-built lighthouse lenses in operation in the U.S. today
The Lantern Room at the top of the Tower houses a 3rd order British-built Fresnel lens by Chance Bros. with a range of 13-15 miles. The lens was originally powered by a kerosene oil lamp. There are only two other British-built lighthouse lenses in operation in the U.S. today: a 1st order lens at Heceta Head Lighthouse in Oregon and a 2nd order rear range light at Ambrose Channel, Staten Island, New York.
Many years ago my grandpa asked me if I wanted to go on a photography trip with him, and if I could go someplace where would it be. I listed off a few places, and one of the places I listed was the Big Sandy and Clinchfield. I was always fond of the scenery and countryside that was in the surrounding area of the two subs, and always wanted to go out to take some pictures.
Well, life got busy, and kind of messy, so the trip never happened. Flash-forward to almost 5 years later, Im living in a new state, my grandpa passed away, and my friend said he was going to be in the area, so I took a couple days off of work, to go out and get some pictures with him.
Pool Point was a shot that I’ve seen done hundreds of times, and was hoping to at least get get a single picture there. Luck was on our side, and we were able to get a train over Pool Point.
G766 had traveled all night up the Clinchfield, with daylight just starting before he got to Pool Point. Quite happy with how it turned out. Thanks for reading this essay I’ve just written. Thank you Papa for getting me into the hobby, and encouraging me to follow what I wanted to do, wish you were here to see what I'm doing now. This one is for you Papa.

50 point near Hamilton just past sunset. Looking at it, you wouldn't expect that the biggest city in the country is just on the other side of the water.

A few more images from my new ND1000 filter. I'm really starting to enjoy what this filter can do, especially with scenes like this.
