Just before sunrise by the White House Crow Point North Devon on the River Taw Estuary at low water, with the mud fats reflecting the early morning light.
This picture is about a Sunday afternoon bike ride in the beautiful landscape of the South San Francisco Bay Area, specifically Palo Alto Hills and Woodside. If it were not for bicycles this picture would not exist.
Point B (see note) is the apex of this particular afternoon's ride. Also, the big picture here, and I don't just mean the picture, is definitely one of the main reasons why I returned to California.
Time was really lacking this week: no opportunity to really catch great shots, no time for advanced processing. However, I still wanted to create something, so I simply took some photos on the way back from a family visit (some landscapes and trees along the road), and processed them a few hours, trying to obtain an interesting result. It's probably not an unforgettable image, but at least I hope it is a bit fun!
From the archives which I seem to be looking at quite a lot lately. Sad news about Whitney Houston, such talent, such a waste.
Fox Point, is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located on the Aspotogan Peninsula in the Chester Municipal District on the Lighthouse Route (Nova Scotia Route 329).

This shot required a lot of patience because of the number of visitors - well, at least because of 2 of them. Some photographer set up against the lighthouse and shot his model who was posing on the picnic table. For about 45 minutes both his tripod and the model did not move. Ultimately this required 5 stacked exposures (one for FG DOF and 4 to "paint out" various people).
It only took waiting three hours for the weather to cooperate, and it finally pulled through in the nick of time.
Sugar Express’ “Sugar Eggspress” final run would be the 4 PM train out of Clewiston, departing on-time with a moderately full train. Following a successful catch at the Sugarland Canal trestle, a hectic 4.1 mile drive would ensue, driving along unmarked dirt roads through private cane fields, dodging loose rocks and an unexpected closed gate [a story me and Richard will tell until the end of time].
I would arrive to the spot at Liberty Point with no less than 3 minutes to spare, the 148’s CB&Q 5 chime audible from about a mile away. With the train clear of the Shawnee cane loadout to the south, the engineer opens up the throttle through the Liberty Point curve to continue their run to Moore Haven at track speed, 40 MPH. A gap between clouds finally allowed the sun to shine down on the Class 141 Pacific as it sweeped around the curve headed west.

Fort Point State Park
Stockton Springs
Waldo County, Maine
Continuing from Portland toward Bar Harbor, we made a slight detour to Fort Point Lighthouse, checking off another Maine lighthouse not previously visited. Located near the mouth of the Penobscot River on Penobscot Bay, Fort Point Light Station was established in 1836; the current keeper's house and light tower were built in 1857. The lantern room atop the square tower has a 4th-order Fresnel lens with a 250 watt halogen bulb and focal plane of 88 feet, providing a beacon visible 10 miles away; the light and fog signal are automated. Fort Point Light Station was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987 (87002269). Fort Pownall, the fort at this location, was built in 1759 at the urging of Massachusetts Governor Thomas Pownall (Maine was then part of Massachusetts -- Maine became a state in 1820), to help keep the French and Indians out of the coastal area. In March 1775, the Loyalist in charge of Fort Pownall worked with British forces to remove guns from fort, but American forces burned the blockhouse and filled the moat, making the fort useless to the British. Fort Pownall Memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 (69000028). Both National Register sites are now part of the 120-acre Fort Point State Park; created in 1974, the park has more than one mile of Penobscot River frontage.

This was shot at “Sarimbun end”, located near Lim Chu Kang Road and situated on the western end of Singapore. 2 xp HDR . Temp increased a bit to strengthen the transparency of the stones in the water. F16; 20s and I think 10s ;iso100. View On Black
Beyond this point and the Johor Straits, one can see Malaysia. A flurry of mobile sms told me I’m logged onto the Malaysian Mobile operator’s cell site. The water is quite silted and outlined with mangroves. It’s always great fun and inspirational to go photo shooting with another photographer,…..but NO …… not just another…. went with my extremely talented friend Daniel Cheong
And thanks to stimbijik for providing details on the location.

I've been intending to shoot this photograph for a long time. The combination of lockdown and having more time to myself has provided the opportunity.
Point Upright, as it is correctly called, marks the end of the long beach in front of the settlements of South and North Durras. On this morning I was a little late rising, and while the clouds did not light up as much as hoped, it was still a spectacular display.
At this sunset point,if we see the sky and the sea both are visible along the mountain ranges.So its difficult to visualise from where the sea starts.It seems both are joined and its difficult to figure out the difference from the sunset point.

Spurn Point, situated at the mouth of the Humber Estuary in Yorkshire, has been a vital part of the UK’s defences since the early nineteenth century and especially during the First World War. Defence installations date right back to around 1805 back to the Napoleonic wars. It is now a nature reserve. Concrete and wooden relics are dotted all down the beach, fighting with nature preventing nature from running its course allowing the movement of Spurn.
Who knows what will happen between this final battle between Man Made & Mother Nature herself. I believe nature always wins in the end

With military precision, there's a straight line in every direction. The ranks of graves command attention from visitors to an armed force's cemetery on Point Loma, overlooking the city of San Diego in California.

WC GP35m 4002 rests away the weekend in Stevens Point, WI along with EMD lease unit 1558, one of the ex-N&W/ NS "Bricks", as a westbound works the yard in the background. Shot in March 1996.
Point Reyes is the windiest place on the Pacific Coast and the second foggiest place on the North American continent. Weeks of fog, especially during the summer months, frequently reduce visibility to hundreds of feet. The Point Reyes Headlands, which jut 10 miles out to sea, pose a threat to each ship entering or leaving San Francisco Bay. The historic Point Reyes Lighthouse warned mariners of danger for more than a hundred years.
For me Aguereberry Point is one of the most amazing viewpoints in Death Valley National Park. It is located in the Panamint Mountains high above the valley floor on the opposite side of famous Dante's View.

I think this is my favourite shot from my recent trip to Start Point.
It was blowing a gale and I had to crouch over my camera to stop it being buffeted by the wind, I had to go for a low angle on the tripod to keep any movement to an absolute minimum. This was a 20 second exposure, I took about 20 shots just hoping that one would be in focus, I just about got lucky. I like the foreground interest with the wild flowers and the way the headland leads your eye to the lighthouse and the blurred skies, cant wait to go back again. Incidentally in between shots I was kept amused by a seal who seemed quite interested in what I was doing and kept coming up real close, a stunning place to be.
