This was based on a render I found on the web many years ago and I fell in love with the architecture so I saved it but sadly I can’t find the source anymore to give due credit.
Start Point, South Hams, Devon.
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.

Pigeon Point Lighthouse, Pescadero, CA
Postcard from my collection.
Description on back of the postcard:
Pacific Coastlands.
A field of pumpkins grows on the fertile marine terrace near Pigeon Point. Originally called La Punta De La Ballena (Whale Point), its name was later changed to commemorate the wreck of the American clipper ship Carrier Pigeon in 1853. The magnificent lighthouse has guided travelers between Santa Cruz and Half Moon Bay since1872.

Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, a mountainous and scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in South Africa.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada.
If you would like to read about my trip through the largest Bay of Fundy islands of Grand Manan, Deer Island and Compobello Island, take a look at the blog post about my Bay of Fundy Islands trip .
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.
Couldn't sleep so i took the chance to go up to Stanage to catch the sun rise.
After checking the composition i finally stumbled on the Trig point, rather than the classic mill stones.
Found it hard to find compositions in these tank traps ....

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.
