Wow we had an amazing time here! Curtis, Dave, and I were like kids in a candy store. There were so many beautiful sights and such incredible food. I can't wait to go back and spend even more time there.
At one point, I was sitting down for lunch and I felt this TREMENDOUS bite in my crotch area. I looked across the table and saw hollow-legged Richard (the proprietor) was sitting there, so that knocked him off the suspect list. I immediately went to the bathroom and took off all my clothes to figure out what bit me. And there was a BEE in my yoga pants! I couldn't believe it. I have no idea how that bee got in there, but it wasn't happy, and neither was I.

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! :)
Take a walk to the end of Exmouth beach and you'll find Sandy Bay which is accessible by the beach at low tide or via Orcombe Point via steps. Walk along Sandy Bay where you can stop off at the South Beach cafe and walk back over the cliffs back to Exmouth.
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.

View from Clark Quay, Singapore. Riverside Point is one of the numerous shopping malls located along the river. This was taken in the early morning. You can see my shadow reflected!
Have a nice week end dear friends!
The Point Vicente Lighthouse is an important landmark and beacon light relied by thousands of ships and pleasure craft. It provides a means of fixing their position, and ensuring their safe passage up and down the coast.
Was built in 1926 on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, the Point Vicente light source was dimmed during World War II to avoid aiding the enemy. It was automated in 1971 by the United States Coast Guard. The original third order Fresnel lens still revolves in the lantern room.
The Point Vicente Lighthouse is open for tours on the second Saturday of each month

Point Sur Lightstation is a lighthouse at Point Sur, California, 135 miles (217 km) south of San Francisco, on the 361-foot (110 m)-tall rock at the head of the point. It was established in 1889 and is part of Point Sur State Historic Park. The light house is 40 feet (12 m) tall and 270 feet (82 m) above sea level. As of 2015, the light was still in operation as an aid to navigation.
The point accompanied with a few clouds for the weekend.
I took this photo during one of my flights between Istanbul and Izmir. It is a place along the Aegean Sea. But I could not pinpoint exactly where this place is...

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 !
The Gibraltar Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located on the Toronto Islands in Toronto, Ontario. Begun in 1808, it is the oldest existing lighthouse on the Great Lakes, and one of Toronto's oldest buildings. The lighthouse is perhaps best known for the demise of its first keeper, German-born John Paul Radelmüller, whose 1815 murder forms the basis of Toronto’s most enduring ghost story.

The rocks at North Point are so interesting to photograph. Morro Bay's insane sunsets only add to the drama. Just remember to watch out for the tides or you and your camera will get wet.
Although this is not an HDR image, I used 32-bit processing and Nik fliters to achieve the final result.

We watched this buck follow a doe around for an hour this morning.
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.
A fine selection of DMU vehicles rest with a light dusting of snow in the triangle at Crown Point depot in Norwich. Nearest the camera is Pressed Steel Class 117 DMBS 51340, which displays set number 117331; the vehicle had previously worked in set L405, based in Reading, but had subsequently moved to Tyseley.
Behind are DMS 51391 and DMBS 51349; both vehicles previously worked in Reading-based set L413, but had also moved to Tyseley by then. They had been observed working around Norwich in the preceding months on Sandite duties, wearing set number 007.

Cigars, Cigarettes, Candy and Clean Restrooms! What more could anyone want? Sorry Donna & Keith. No vines or power lines. The building has seen better days, but the owner takes great care of his/her mailbox and storage container!
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.

Per atlasobscura.com: Beached on a sandbar in Inverness, California, the abandoned Point Reyes Boat would seem to be little more than a large piece of detritus littering an otherwise protected wetland, but don’t tell that to the droves of photographers that take advantage of its mouldering beauty. Known as the Tomales Bay Shipwreck, the Inverness Shipwreck, or the S.S. Point Reyes, the tall fishing boat was once in danger of being removed, but it was local photographers who actually saved it. The vessel was originally dragged aground by the land’s previous owner who had intended to fix the ship up. However, like many fixer-upper projects, he never actually got around to the repairs, leaving the boat, which still bears the name, “Point Reyes,” to decay on the shore. When the land was taken over by a wetlands restoration firm, the boat was an obvious target for removal. But thanks to the attention the local photographers and visitors gave the wreck, the company allowed it stay right where it was.
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.
Usually yard jobs work the north end of Rices Point yard in Duluth but this evening a CP crew had to drift down to the south end to pick up a few straggler grain cars for delivery to Riverland.
Taking in the view of the badlands at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park was one of my favorite experiences in the park. The eroded shapes of the badlands are really interesting and I feel like I could photograph there all day long.
