Point Park lies at the northern end of Lookout Mountain, overlooking the city of Chattanooga and the Tennessee River.
"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!

LEE BIG STOPPER
LEE .9 HARD GRAD
Hey Everyone, My wife and I are just over one week in on our road trip. Found a McDonald's with wifi ; ) For full update and photos check out our blog at....
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.

Burr Desert, Utah - February 2015
Provia 100f 4x5, 90mm Caltar Lens
2 seconds at f32, 2 stop hard GND filter and warming filter
This is from a quick getaway to Utah earlier this week. There's endless places in the desert to enjoy some quiet time during the unusually warm winter weather.
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!! : )
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.
Tacking Point Lighthouse was built in 1879. Lighthouse Beach, Port Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia..

Whitefish Point
Luce County, Michigan
Another re-edit of an old photo that I like. Though you can't see them in the photo, the mosquitos were unbelievably bad. A swarm of them all around me and I was completely unprepared wearing only shorts and a teeshirt. I literally shed blood for this photo!
The lighthouse dates to the 1860's. More than 200 shipwrecks have occurred nearby. The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald made famous in a song by Gordon Lightfoot was a few miles offshore from this lighthouse. Due to all of the shipwrecks that have happened nearby, the "Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum" was built on the grounds of the lighthouse. A fascinating place to visit.
Kingsdown.
I'd stopped t have a chat with Nigel Jarman at Hope Point when he spotted this white tailed eagle way out to sea being mobbed by herring gulls - needless to say looking straight into the sun. After a minute or two the gulls moved off and a raven took over. Slowly it got closer eventually went right over our heads albeit very high (judging by how small it was on the shots I took). It then started to to go north towards Kingsdown but changed it's mind and flew back towards us (very distant) then inland when we lost sight of it.
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.

We sure did get some dramatic skies at Point Reyes last weekend. This was definitely one of the best coastal sunsets I've seen; between the amazing colors and huge clouds we got some pretty epic skies!
It took me a while to decide on which shot to post from this viewpoint, as I took a ton of photos from this location while the sun was going down. I tried a few different processing techniques on the various shots but I think this one captured the drama the best. This is actually a blend of two exposures by hand in Photoshop. It was a lot of work but I think it came out really well.
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 :(

thanks for all visits and comments (:
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 was one of my last shots of this sunset. I really liked the way that the lighthouse was silhouetted against the orange sky. I zoomed in with my lens and got a closer view. This gave me nice lines and gave me a contrast between the sky and silhouette.
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.
This is the Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, on a rainy day. The area is referred to as "Artist Point", but apparently there were some mistakes made in the naming of it, according to this link: www.yellowstonepark.com/artist-point/ . A beautiful location, regardless of the name :)
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.
