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.

“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I don't live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.”
― Bob Marley
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.

“Ballad of the Heavens”
Banba's Crown, Malin Head, County Donegal, Ireland
Malin Head is Ireland’s most northerly point & these are the most northerly building on the mainland. The large tower to the right was named ‘Banba’ after the mythological patron goddess of Ireland. It was built by the British in 1805 as a Napoleonic lookout tower to help defend against a possible French invasion. It’s location was vital for daily shipping as the coastline around Malin Head are some of the most treacherous waters in the world with over 400 ship wrecks being recorded.
Malin Head is the best area in all of Ireland to observe the Aurora & Milky Way. This is due to it being so far north & there is nothing looking outwards to sea only total darkness. Total darkness with a clear sky & no light pollution is the secret to capturing great vivid photos of these two natural wonders of the heavens
I travelled here in hope of capturing the Aurora Borealis this particular clear night. Fortune shone down on me & I was able to capture both the Northern Lights & the galactic core of the Milky Way all in one photo! It really was like a ballad of the heavens above me!
Hope you enjoy! Please favourite & add me as a contact to view my newest upcoming works, Thank you

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.
While we didn't venture into the Wrest Pont Casino we did wander around an empty convention centre that abutted it. For some reason a Police Car was parked outside so perhaps there was something they needed to discuss with the centre. By this time the day was very hot so we cut our wandering and driving around Sandy Bay, Battery Point and other waterfront areas short and went home for a rest before more walking in the cooler evening. The grass in this outdoor area was fake hence the bright green colour. I do hate fake grass due to the plastic pollution it adds to the environment. Happy Bench Monday!

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.
Situated in a stunning location on the NSW coast just south of Wollongong, Hanson’s Bass Point quarry is a unique operation supplying high-quality basalt material by sea right into the heart of Sydney.

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!

"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!
