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
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.
Groynes :
are man-made structures that are built perpendicular to the shoreline of a coast or river. They are designed to limit erosion by disrupting the natural flow of water and preventing sediment from moving away from the area. Groynes are usually made out of wood, concrete, or stone.
I saw this one next to the trail at Abbotts lagoon, Point Reyes, California, USA.

This is very near the most eastern point of Italy.
Everybody takes a picture of the famous light house, but I preferred to stop at these ruins: they looked so much better in the viewer!
Il punto più a est
Questa foto è stata scattata nei pressi del punto più a est d'italia.
Tutti scattano una foto del famoso faro, ma io ho preferito fermarmi nei pressi di queste rovine: erano più fotogeniche!
Pigeon Point Light House is about 45 south of San Francisco. It's a state park as well a hostel. Next time I go to California I think I'll stay here at least one night.
Having just returned I'm a bit excited about a few images I've captured. Check out the ice plant. I'm sure during the summer there is plenty of color with the blooms.
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 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.
