This historic 19th century lighthouse sits on high bluffs so it doesn't need to be tall. It was built to aid navigation into the large bay and harbor just south of here. It's located in Point Fermin Park and lies on the north side of the bay that has the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach Port, the busiest port in the U.S.
Landguard Point in Suffolk, UK. Sometimes it's noticing the little things next to the very big things they pay dividends. This twisted rope caught my eye as i walked down to the wrecked rail jetty. I stopped and weighed up the situation and decided i would commit my blue hour time to this comp over the iconic and ever popular jetty comp. For me this simple comp works perfectly, the twisted weathered rope and beach faded posts works so well with the swelling sea and pretty scattered cloud sky.

So I rose early to visit Point Arkwright on the Sunshine Coast, and this is what it looked like before the sun rose...behind a cloud. I thought about replacing the sky with a more colorful one from after sunrise, but (a) I'm not sure I *want* to do this and (b) I'm not sure I *can* do this. At least I put a big rock in the foreground of my wide-angle shot for once. :-) Perhaps you should just look at Matt's great photo instead!
Part of the western wall of the Palisades of the Desert, Comanche Point rises up like a recumbent lion, its head facing into the sun, the mighty Grand Canyon below at its feet. In the distance the gash of the Canyon of the Little Colorado River cuts across the plain, and the cliffs of the Paria Plateau catch the last sunlight.
Spurn Point is a 4.8km long sand spit, sometimes an island, and in places only 50m wide, which forms the edge of the River Humber estuary in East Yorkshire with the North Sea on the other side. For me, it has a special story as my wife's first husband, a TV film cameraman, died tragically there, with another man, in a horrific helicopter accident in the Humber. My trip to Spurn was almost exactly forty years after that accident and I did want to produce one image which would show something of the harsh environment and uncompromising character of the place. These groins have felt the power of the wind and waves that the harsh monochrome treatment is intended to emphasise.

Although we were not able to visit the Lighthouse due to it's not being open during our visit, we were able to see it from a distance. It was a foggy, cloudy morning. Typical coastal winter weather.

"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.
