Point Bolivar Light is in Port Bolivar, Texas. The lighthouse was built in 1872. It was retired in 1933 when it was replaced by another lighthouse.
Statue of Captain Luis Pardo who sailed the Yelcho and rescued Shackleton's men who lived here for 137 days. Today the place is called Point Wild after Frank Wild.
Chanonry Point (Scottish Gaelic: Gob na Cananaich) lies at the end of Chanonry Ness, a spit of land extending into the Moray Firth between Fortrose and Rosemarkie on the Black Isle, Scotland.
Lighthouse
An active lighthouse situated at the tip of the point was designed by Alan Stevenson and was first lit in 1846.] The lighthouse has been fully automated since 1984 and is operated by Northern Lighthouse Board.
70 miles to the east these clouds were all being funneled into the northern Cascade range creating a massive downpour that I had traveled through earlier in the day. Here though they did not rain and instead created a spectacular checkerboard of dark cloud and blue sky that the sun illuminated as it set.

They are crossing MA 8A and paralleling West Hawley Road in the quaint little town best known for rafting in the Deerfield River and skiing on the flank of Mount Institute at Berkshire East whose barren slopes are visible in the upper right.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to aid ships sailing along the rocky Northern California coast heading in to San Francisco Bay after a number of ships, most notably the Carrier Pigeon for which the lighthouse is named, sank on the shallow rocks just off shore. It is the tallest of the lighthouses in California and along the western cost of the United States standing at 115 feet (35 Meters). It's proximity to San Francisco, easy access from historic California Highway One and the remarkable scenery surrounding the Lighthouse makes it the most popular and picturesque lighthouse along the entire Pacific Coast. The first-order Fresnel lens which illuminated the New England style tower with 24 beams of light has currently been removed while the upper portion of the tower undergoes restoration. The lighthouse still functions with a smaller Coast Guard Beacon mounted on the exterior of the lighthouse.
Upon our arrival the entire area was covered in cloud when finally the sun broke from beneath the clouds at just the right angle to create a glow on the clouds above while still illuminating the lighthouse, rocks and breaking waves. The deep orange hues of the setting sun caused the red rock and fence to almost glow in red light. Yet there was still enough white light to bring out the blue waves below. This didn't last very long and scenery was constantly changing causing us to dash around the lighthouse to try and get the best angle on the ever-changing light. Days like these are hard to come by. The lighthouse is usually covered by fog or in stunningly clear
skies. But every so often, you get one of the most spectacular sunsets you will witness as the sun slips below the horizon of the Pacific.
No, those are not specks of dust to the right of the lighthouse, but seagulls and pelicans soaring high above the cliffs in a light ocean breeze. They show up nicely in the full 36Mpixel version. The green just below the lighthouse is actually ice plant that hangs from the rocky bluffs like
brilliant green and red curtains. I wish I could do more than just describe the soft smell of the salt air, the sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below in order to make the scene inclusive.

I recently got back from a wonderful trip to New Brunswick. The main aim of the trip was to photograph fishing weirs. Despite that, I just couldn't resist photographing some lighthouses, including this lovely one on Campobello Island, so I'll start my postings from that trip with a short series of lighthouse images. It will take me a while to go through and process the weir images, so stay tuned for those!
Mulholland Point Lighthouse first went into operation in 1885. It overlooks the Lubec Narrows between New Brunswick (Canada) and Maine (United States). The land you see in the background is Maine and the boats you can see are in Lubec harbour, Maine, though the lighthouse itself is in Canada.

The thing about this view at Point Lobos was the tree on the right, what an amazing sight. And one pick of it wouldn't be complete unless in a pan grabbing the small bay as well.

Candid street portrait taken in Glasgow, Scotland. Not sure if she is just gesticulating to him or if he has some food stuck around his mouth somewhere. Either way I love the many stories that this image can conjure up.
One of the coolest places I have been. Lighting was all wrong for pictures, but the area was incredible. After a very remote drive on the Navajo Indian Reservation, we had this point to ourselves and did not see a person for almost five hours. Beautiful Views, wild horses, California condors and crazy roads!
