Tacking Point Lighthouse is Australia's third oldest lighthouse. It was built on a rocky headland about 8 kilometres south of Port Macquarie in 1879, to a design by Colonial Architect James Barnet.
Tacking Point was named by explorer Matthew Flinders in 1802 during his circumnavigation of Australia.

The name of this spot pretty much says it all...easy to see how Yellowstone got its name when you're standing here looking at this canyon. I'm always amazed at how different it looks each time we visit, depending on the time of day, the season, the lighting, etc. One thing's for sure though, it's always awe inspiring to stand at this point and marvel at Mother Nature's artistic ability.
Have a great Wednesday....looks like it's going to be a hot one here today with temps nearing triple digits...yikes!!!! Appreciate all your visits and comments :-)
Northernmost point in the Hawaiian Islands. No longer in use due to solar powered LED lights now, but incredibly beautiful. During the winter it is a great place to watch migrating whales.
Spent a week in Kauai, Hawaii, the Garden Isle. So lush with lots of rain and not so commercialized. First time to visit there. Will be posting a LOT of photos from our trip. Many just tourist type photos with my basic lens since we were spending time with family.
The Europa Point Lighthouse stands proudly at the very tip of Gibraltar. Its great beam lights the way for mariners sailing through the often turbulent Straits of Gibraltar, where the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meet. Before the lighthouse was built, sailors relied on flames flickering from the nearby chapel of Our Lady of Europa. The lighthouse was constructed in 1838 and became known as the Trinity Lighthouse at Europa Point.

Point Arena Light is a lighthouse in Mendocino County, California, two miles north of Point Arena. It is approximately 130 miles north of San Francisco, in the Fort Point Group of lighthouses. The lighthouse features a small museum and gift shop. Guided tours of the light station as well as self-guided tours of the grounds are available daily. The original lighthouse, built in 1876, was heavily damaged by the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, and had to be demolished. It was subsequently rebuilt, and the current lighthouse began operation in 1908. It is 115 feet tall, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

Only a very small chunk of what is probably the most beautiful and varied stretch of coast in California.
The view from Bonne Bay Inn, at Woody Point, Gros Morne, Newfoundland. This is pretty well straight out of camera, quite an amazing colour.
This beautiful lighthouse sits on the point at Fort Wordan in Port Townsend. Without realizing it...this is the lighthouse that I made into gingerbread this year...
You can see the photo in my photostream of the finished gingerbread project.....
On New Years day the sky was blue, it was crisp and cold but a perfect day for exploring. I have been here many times...but it wasn't until I stood right here, in this spot...that it occured to me....WOW...THIS IS THE LIGHTHOUSE I CREATED IN GINGERBREAD THIS YEAR !!!!
More than 6500 Trig Points, or Triangulation Points, were built across Britain between 1936 and 1962, as part of a big project to re-triangulate Britain. The last observation was made in 1962 from Thornley Gale, Cumbria.
This one is at the top of Arnside Knott. It's easy to see that it isn't used any more as trees obscuring the view had grown up around it. However, trig points are still marked on OS maps, and useful landmarks for walkers.
GPS has made these markers redundant for survey purposes.
Lizard Point is located at the southern tip of the Lizard Peninsula, and is the most southerly point on mainland Great Britain.

Polaroidweek Day 5, Photo 2: I’ve shot numerous Polaroids of this abandoned fishing boat in Inverness over the years and I’m always surprised it’s still there.

Sometimes including people adds a useful sense of scale to a landscape image.

Bethlehem Steel’s Patapsco & Back Rivers painted one of its EMD-re-engined Baldwin S12’s in a bicentennial scheme. Here the tribute unit works at the mill in Sparrows Point, Maryland.
Just a short drive past the smelliest toilets in the entire Western world lies the fabulous Zabriskie Point, in Death Valley. Everyone else shoots this when there are deep shadows just after sunrise, or well before sunset, in order to show the play of light and contrast on these badlands. Instead, I present this fantastic landscape well after sunset, when the colours come alive to those who can see.
Dedicated to Patric Shaw.
