Made it back to High Point State Park last month and was lucky to have some interesting skies to work with.
The monument is located on the highest point in the state of New Jersey and offers some really beautiful views. It also means that it can be pretty windy and the clouds were scudding by at a decent clip.
Standing there looking up at the monument with the clouds moving behind it makes your head spin a bit. Good times! :)
located at Diaz Point near Lüderitz, Namibia.
The lighthouse opened in 1915. It is 28 m high with a lantern and gallery set on a one-story-high hexagonal stone base. The tower is painted in red and white bands. The foghorn is 450 m north of the lighthouse
Zabriskie Point at Sunrise
Even if you’re not a morning person, drag yourself out of bed and get out to Zabriskie Point for sunrise. The good news is that this overlook is only a six-minute drive from the recently renovated, historic Inn at Death Valley, which can serve as your base, so you won’t lose much shut-eye.
Nor will you have any regrets as the first light of day begins to illuminate the golden badlands below the point, including the prominent triangular spire of Manly Beacon, while the towering Panamint Range across the valley takes on a pinkish-red glow.
Zabriskie Point is a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
The location was named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company's twenty-mule teams were used to transport borax from its mining operations in Death Valley.
A very nice day at one of my favorite spots. Quite blustery however making the sun's warmth feel less warm with northern gusts coming off the water. Cattails bending and the leaves whip back and forth. Clouds with so many wonderful shades and colors properly dressing up a crystal blue sky.

50 005 Collingwood about to depart from Paddington with the 17:10 to Oxford on a bitterly cold January evening
The tip of the park made for a rough lake on a very cool and breezy day and kept the bird migration at bay
A l'extrême Ouest du Finistère Nord, la falaise de granit plonge dans l'Atlantique. Il faudra y retourner avec un ciel plus intéressant et un peu plus de temps disponible... Depuis les Pyrénées, cela va pas être tout de suite !

We watched this buck follow a doe around for an hour this morning.
Death Valley from Zabriskie Point. A photographers dream for sure and I imagine this landscape is equally intriguing to geologists.
Shot this for the Dogwood52 Challenge Week 41. This is my friend Ann getting up closer. I stayed up high so it would work for the Challenge.....Landscape - Get High. It was busy, lots of people and hard to shoot without getting someone in the shot.

Idaho's Initial Point is a volcanic butte rising from the western Snake River Plain. Beginning on April 19, 1867, surveyors mapped the entire state starting from this butte. Every piece of land in the state is referenced by its direction and distance from a brass survey marker located on top of the butte.
Neist Point, Isle of Skye, has been one of my favourite locations from my first trip to Scotland. For sure, it won't be my last one :)
It was cloudy that day. We couldn't get and good images for the Golden Gate Bridge. We were lucky the other side of Point Bonita's sky gave us some nice color. At least we have something to go home.
