A beautiful morning along the California coastline with the Pigeon Point Lighthouse keeping vigil.

I got to see some very heavy rain on the drive home from Prescott. I stopped at Sunset Point to get some photos of the ever changing sky. (Explored 8/22/13 #258)
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!! : )
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.
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

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.
At the entrance to Puget Sound is the lighthouse on Point Wilson. Mount Baker is in the background on the mainland.
One of my all time favs from archive. Hope you like it :-)
@ WTP gate, Point wilson, VIC. 2010.
Spent the day birding and photographing various species.
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.

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.

This is the steeple of a church on Ocean Drive near downtown Corpus Christi, TX. You can see Corpus Christi Bay in the background. This is a very steep, pointy steeple, it puts the steep in steeple.

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.
An obscure view of the passing point on a scenic railway. A double image composed to give an absract view of a commonplace event.
