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!

Point Park lies at the northern end of Lookout Mountain, overlooking the city of Chattanooga and the Tennessee River.
I went on a bucket list trip to California in 2024. While I was there, whale watching was also on my list. So we launched from Dana Point into the bay. While we didn't see any whales... we were graced with the presence of two huge pods of dolphins! A monumental moment in time.
Check out my California album for more images from that trip.

"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."

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.

Tacking Point was named by Matthew Flinders in 1802, on HMS Investigator.
This lighthouse is one of five along the northern NSW coastline designed by noted colonial architect James Barnet. The other four lighthouses are at Clarence Head, Fingal Head, Richmond Head and Crowdy Head. Four of these five original lighthouses, including Tacking Point, are still in use.

Drum Point Light is one of three survivingChesapeake Bay screw-pile lighthouses. Originally located off Drum Point at the mouth of the Patuxent River, it is now an exhibit at the Calvert Marine Museum.
A low tide, a beautiful calm evening and a painted scene at the waters edge. Two fishermen left their tackle and wandered out aways along a submerged sandbank. I don't know if they had a reason for doing it but I'm glad they did.
The first stop on today's photo adventure was Fifty Point. Yesterday's rain and snow had produced some cool icicles
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 :(

The Point-class sealift ships are the result of the Strategic Defence Review and are designed by Houlder Ltd for the strategic transport of military cargoes and vehicles in times of need. The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has purchased a 22-year charter from Foreland Shipping (previously named AWSR Shipping), who own, operate and crew the ships, utilising them as merchant vessels when they are not required for military service.
This is John Ford's Point, in Monument Valley. A very famous vista where many, many Western movies were filmed. Check out the awesome campsite I got, (below). I had a panoramic view of the Mittens right out my front window. I stayed for a few nights, until I ran out of water. I was pulling my hair out the whole time because I couldn't connect to the internet at all. The view was AMAZING! But the campground was a bit short on amenities. I'm not a real picky camper, so when I say 'amenities' I don't mean, there was no Jacuzzi, and cocktail lounge. I just wanted some water. No electric is fine. That's why I invested so much money in solar panels. The price was not too bad. $15 a night. But... I have never seen a campsite with absolutely no water available. And, can I at least have a garbage can to put my junk in? They said I can go to a town about 10 miles away and buy some water. WOW! What a great deal!!! So, finally I moved to a real campground a few miles away. It's got electric and water, and all that fancy stuff. And... At $42 a night, it holds the record as the second most expensive campground I have EVER stayed in. The most expensive... The Florida keys. That's understandable. There is very little land there, so space is at a premium. The Navajo Indian reservation is 26,000 square miles!!! The only reason I went... They have Wi-Fi, so my internet will work, since my own connection has no signal here. After paying $42, I find out that if I want the Wi-Fi password, that's an extra $4 per day! Yay!
I have always been fascinated by the Native American people. Their culture, crafts, traditions, their entire way of life. I have always felt horrible about how unfairly our forefathers screwed them over. That being said, I have spent quite a bit of time over the past few months on Indian Reservations. Turns out, that a lot of the best stuff to photograph in the entire southwest is on Indian land. I've got to hand it to them. They are doing a very good job of sticking it back to us, and milking you for every penny they can possibly get for every possible thing that they can possibly think of to charge you money for. Typical visit to a beautiful vista, at a reservation... pay the entrance fee at the gate. Then, pay to park your car. You can see the vista you want to shoot from where you parked the car, but you can't walk across the street to see it without paying a guide to show it to you. Then you end with a stop at the concessions stand to buy a cup of Coffee. Only $2. Not bad. Unfortunately you didn't bring your own cup. A cup is another $2. Where's the sugar? Sugar is another $2. Cream, $2. You go to sit down... Wait... Were you planning to drink that here? That's another $2...
This is a complete dramatization of course... I actually don't drink Coffee.
