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.

Pointing in the wildflowers
I have no idea what she was tracking, but there was something in the corner wildflower prairie that was extremely interesting to her. I took this as an oppertunity to sneak around and twitch some grass to keep her interested so I could get some photos. The end of season flowers, the goldenrod in full bloom and soft evening light are just lovely.
I met up with a mate Kelvin Bell at 2.00 am and headed off to Start Point for a go at capturing the Milky way.

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.
Built in 1903 this lighthouse is located in Port Townsend, Washington. USA.

Pigeon Point Light Station or Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway, 5 miles south of Pescadero, California, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The 115-foot, white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure. Because of its location and ready access from the main highway, Pigeon Point entertains many public visitors.
161/365 sorry guys for another leave pictures... I just love the color of the fall especially those leaves.
thanks for viewing and commenting
have a nice day
First day in Death Valley, I just barely missed the last light on the famous Manly Beacon and Red Cathedral landmarks, but I still got a decent image from shooting three bracketed exposures and merging to HDR in Photoshop.
The Point Atkinson Lighthouse is located in West Vancouver, B.C. at the entrance to Burrard Inlet and the harbour at the Port of Vancouver. The first lighthouse at the site was ccmissioned in 1875 and sits on Point Atkisnson which was named by Captain George Vancouver for a friend. It was replaced in 1912 by the current lighthouse which stands 18 metres (60 feet) tall. The station remains active but was automated in 1996. The land surrounding the lighthouse is now the 190 acre Lighthouse Park.
Pigeon Point Lighthouse is one of the most picturesque lighthouses on the Pacific coast. This pic really doesn't do it justice. The tower stands on a rocky promontory and has long been a landmark for ships approaching San Francisco Bay from the south. This headland, and hence the lighthouse, took its name from the ship Carrier Pigeon that wrecked here in 1853. It is the tallest lighthouse (tied with Point Arena Light) on the West Coast of the United States. And as an added bonus it is located right on route one so getting to it didn't involve any crazy detours!
This point is a tribute an early explorer, Major John Wesley Powell, who led the first documented expedition through Grand Canyon.
Have an amazing day, everyone...
"The antisolar point is the imaginary point on the celestial sphere exactly opposite the Sun. The apex of a rainbow will also form roughly 42 degrees above the location of the antisolar point."
I have never witnessed such intense color in a rainbow so I was likely close to this point. On my way home after shooting, the setting sun must have contributed to the colors as well. The colors in the rainbow effected the entire area and it didn't take much effort to find an interesting farmland to help the shot.

Arrowsic Island, Maine.
"Squirrel Point Light is a lighthouse marking the southwestern point of Arrowsic Island on the Kennebec River. It was established in 1898, as part of a major upgrade of the river's lights — the Doubling Point Light and the separate Range Lights on the point, Perkins Island Light, and Squirrel Point Light were all built at the same time. The light station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Squirrel Point Light Station on January 21, 1988.
Arrowsic Island is a large island on the Mid Coast of Maine, bounded by a number of tidal rivers. The main one, the Kennebec River, is on the west side of the island, flowing south from the major port and shipbuilding city of Bath to the Gulf of Maine. Squirrel Point is the southwestern tip of the island. The light station at Squirrel Point includes a tower, keeper's house, barn, boathouse, and oil house. The tower is an octagonal wood-frame structure, with the lantern house topped by a ventilator and surrounded by an iron railing and wooden bracketed gallery. A gabled sound signal chamber is attached to one side. The keeper's house is a two-story wood-frame structure with a cross-gable roof.
The United States Congress authorized improvements to the aids to navigation on the Kennebec River in 1895, and this station was built under that authorization in 1898. The oil house was added in 1906, and the station was automated in 1982. (Wikipedia)
The U.S. Coast Guard, which owns the property, has granted the Citizens for Squirrel Point a license to provide access to the site for the benefit of the public and maritime industry for purposes consistent with the repair, maintenance and historic restoration of the facility."
