Start Point is a promontory in the South Hams district in Devon, England, grid reference SX832370. Close to the most southerly point in the county, it marks the southern limit of Start Bay, which extends northwards to the estuary of the River Dart.
The rocks of the point are greenschist and mica-schist, formed by metamorphism of Devonian sediments during a period of mountain building towards the end of the Carboniferous period.
The name "Start" derives from an Anglo-Saxon word steort, meaning a tail. This root also appears in the names of birds with distinctive tails, like the redstart.
As a result of the many shipwrecks in the area, Start Point lighthouse was built in 1836 to alert ships to the danger of the point and its surrounding rocks. The lighthouse, and the area's birdlife, make it a popular spot for visitors, and Start Point is accessible to walkers from the South West Coast Path.
The Start Point transmitting station is located on top of the promontory, just north-west of the lighthouse. Built in 1939, it nowadays transmits only a single broadcast, BBC Radio 5 Live.
Lamacraft Farm is near Start Point and a quarter of a mile from South Hallsands.
Rawley Point juts out into Lake Michigan (there's a lighthouse here.). Its main feature is a series of beach ridges formed as the lake dropped and paused from higher glacial levels over thousands of years. A beautiful place to be at any time, but especially pretty during sunrise.
Cold day at Dead Horse Point. Colorado River, San Juan County, Utah.
The legend of Dead Horse Point originates around the turn of the 19th century when cowboys would round up the wild mustangs that roamed the mesa. It is said, a herd was driven down the neck of the peninsula, its sheer cliffs forming a natural corral, and the 30-foot-wide entrance was fenced off with branches and brush. For reasons unknown, the herd was left or forgotten. After a period of time with no food or water, they succumbed to the harsh desert elements, with the Colorado River in view 2,000 feet below. It is rumored those horses can be seen and heard still roaming the area.
The Point Wilson Light is an active aid to navigation located in Fort Worden State Park near Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington. It is one of the most important navigational aids in the state, overlooking the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, the waterway connecting the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound. The lighthouse was listed on the Washington State Heritage Register and the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.

This was one of the most colorful and scenic views of our entire trip. One never knows what to expect from this great state of Utah. Just when you think that you have seen it all, you drive into Dead Horse Point State Park and find this magnificant view. The weather on this particular day was perfect. We were blessed with excellent light to photograph this beautiful spot.
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. The park covers 5,362 acres of high desert at an altitude of 5,900 feet
Best viewed on black and large size.
A different view of the same lighthouse but without texture this time.
An other (kind of) "natural" HDR.. Not looking for a really tonnemapped look for this one either.
An HDR (5 shots blended in Photomatix) and a bit of color tweaking!! =)
Mainly using the "selective color" + "hue and saturation". I also did "Shadows and Highlights" and "Curves" adjustments. All that in CS3.
I don't like however how Flickr changes colors of photos!
Oh well...
Have a nice week-end!! : )

West Point is a cape and an unincorporated community located in the southwestern corner of Prince Edward Island, Canada.
West Point Lighthouse, a square tapered tower, was built in 1875 by the federal Department of Marine. The West Point Lighthouse Inn, Museum and Restaurant was established in 1984.
The West Point Development Corporation, a non-profit organization, maintains the lighthouse as a navigational aid beacon, although the living quarters of the lighthouse are now used as a unique country inn and museum.
This lighthouse was first lit on May 21, 1876.
Point Atkinson Lighthouse is a lighthouse erected on Point Atkinson, a headland in southwestern British Columbia named by Captain George Vancouver in 1792, when he was exploring the Pacific Northwest in the ship Discovery. The first wooden lighthouse went into service in 1875 and was replaced by a reinforced concrete structure in 1914.
Lighthouse Park is approximately 75 hectares in size and a nationally significant natural park within West Vancouver. It has important natural and cultural resources and very high levels of use by local residents and tourists. The park is a biologically rich and unique resource and is an example of a remaining old growth coastal forest in the Lower Mainland. The lighthouse and light station grounds at Point Atkinson are a national historic site and one of the most photographed and recognizable landmarks in the entire Lower Mainland.

Sunrise at Nugget point, NZ. When I arrived at this spot the whole scene was shrouded in fog. A few japanese photographers had already set up their tripods. After some time they lost patience and left the viewpoint. Good for me. Shortly afterwards the fog lifted and revealed this nice coastal view and it was nice and quiet.

"Thelma & Louise Point" on the Colorado River from the "Potash Road" below Dead Horse Point State Park, Utah USA.
This is where "Thelma and Louise" drove their car off the cliff at the end of the movie of the same name.
This is accessed from Utah Highway 279 along the Colorado River northwest of Moab, Utah. This road becomes the "Potash Road" that weaves through the colorful potash ponds and eventually ends up in Canyonlands National Park as the "Shafer Trail".
