"Sunrise at Race Point Lighthouse​"
Provincetown​, MA
Race Point Light is a historic lighthouse on Cape Cod, in Provincetown, Massachusetts. It was first established in 1816, the third light on Cape Cod (after Highland Light (1797) and Chatham Light (1808)). The original light was a 25 feet (7.6 m) rubblestone tower that featured one of the earliest rotating beacons, which distinguished it from others on Cape Cod. In 1858 the light got a fourth order Fresnel lens and, in 1874, a second keeper's quarters. In 1875, after significant deterioration of the original tower, it was replaced with an iron tower lined with brick. The original keeper's house was rebuilt as part of the project. The station was electrified in 1957. The larger keeper's house was removed in 1960 and the other was updated.
The station has been restored by the Cape Cod Chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation, and both the keeper's house and the whistle house are available for vacation rental.
Race Point Light was added to the National Register of Historic Places as Race Point Light Station on June 15, 1987, reference number 87001482.
Half Dome, Liberty Cap, Nevada Falls and Vernal Falls at Sunset.
Glacier Point located on the south wall of Yosemite Valley at an elevation of 7214 feet offers stunning views ranging from Yosemite Falls in the west to the Sierra crest in the east. It is one of the world’s most dramatic vistas. You can get a commanding view of Yosemite Valley, Half Dome, Yosemite Falls, and Yosemite’s high country from the Glacier Point overlook.
Both sunrise and sunset at Glacier Point can be spectacular. Sunsets can be particularly spectacular if there are clouds to add drama to the scene.
Glacier Point Road closes due to snow, usually from sometime in November through May or early June. This year Glacier Point Road opened on April 30th, and I was fortunate enough to be in Yosemite that weekend with my son and my wife to photograph the dogwood spring blooms.
I saw that there were clouds in the forecast during the afternoon that Sunday so I decided to drive up to Glacier Point late afternoon on Sunday to photograph the sunset.
An old shot at Telegraph Point on the shore of the Skeena River, in between Terrace and Prince Rupert, BC. It's at low tide and sunset, that this scenery can be done, but remember, we are in the rain forest country, and cloud and rain is on the menu each day.
Thanks for passing by guys!

Penmon Point, also known as Black Point, or Trwyn-du in Welsh, is situated on the south east corner of Anglesey and overlooks the Menai Strait, the Irish Sea and Puffin Island. The name derives from Welsh: pen (which can mean "head", "end" or "promontory") and Môn, which is the Welsh name for Anglesey.
So we HAD to hike down the Bright Angel Trail of course, loaded up with hiking gear to stay overnight at Indian Garden.The trail went down, down and further down. I had a few panicky moments wondering how I would make it back up the next day. Once we arrived at Indian Garden we rested, set up camp and then hiked a bit more to Plateau Point for this view. Hiked back to camp in the dark. I survived it all. Met some great people along the way, lots of jokes and laughter. It was a fantastic experience, not to mention the views. The grandeur, the majesty...amazing.

"Punta de los Reyes…. God help the hapless mariner who drifts upon her shores."
Probably the story behind this specific boat is much less dramatic but the coasts of Point Reyes are dangerous and filled with ship wrecks.
This fish boat got stranded in Inverness.
A well know photography topic under magnificent late afternoon skies.
I used all kinds of Lee stuff and the photo is almost the same as on the CF-card, so almost SOOC. Much better than yesterdays owl photo that had purple fringing around the branches.
Could've chosen for a 16:9 crop?!

"A much-photographed Tomales Bay icon, the derelict fishing boat the Point Reyes, was severely damaged by a mysterious fire early Monday morning, and comments from angry Inverness residents are burning up social media over the loss of this beloved local landmark."

It was a beautiful foggy morning on this 19th day of January, 2025, so we loaded up the truck and headed up towards Cavendish on Prince Edward Island. There are some nice hills, farms and even ports on the way and I imagined that many of these might look awesome in the fog. I wasn't disappointed. This was taken where HIghway 6 (Cavendish Road) crosses the Hope River, site of the Raspberry Point Oyster operation. While everything was closed up for the winter, the scene was quite amazing. I love fog!

we cling to our own point of view as though everything depended upon it.
yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn and winter, they gradually pass away.

Bretaña Francesa - French Brittany
Recordaré para siempre como tomé esta foto. Esta parte de la costa Francesa es muy agresiva, con enormes acantilados. Ese dÃa el viento soplaba muchÃsimo y tuve que tomar la foto agarrado a una valla!. A pesar del viento hice una buena composición.
I will remember for ever how I took this photo. This part of the France's coast, is very aggressive with a huge cliffs. This day the wind was blowing so much and I had to take the photo seized in a fence!. In despite of the wind I made a good composition.
Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah
Dead Horse Point State Park is a state park of Utah, USA, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. The park is so named because of its use as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century. The "dead horse" part of the name is that the corral was abandoned, but the horses did not leave the corral, even after the gate was left open, and died there :(
