I had a couple of good late afternoon sessions with my favorite subject matter-shorebirds. There were few people on the beach, the light was great and the birds were pretty cooperative. I didn't move more than 10 yards in any direction for 90 minutes, the birds came and went practically in front of me. I had 2 afternoons and one morning like this. I'll post more as I sort them out.

Yosemite Valley and El Capitan from Crocker Point, on the rim of the Yosemite Valley. Definitely one of the most memorable places in California and the world.

Sunset on the shores of Crescent Beach in Siesta Key at an area known as "Point-of-Rocks."
Point-of-Rocks is a natural outcropping of flat, smooth beach rock located at the far southern end of Crescent Beach. It can be thought of as a natural boundary between Crescent Beach and Turtle Beach. The rocks begin on the beach and extend out into the water for about 300 feet.

Spent the day in the Hamptons and had a chance to get out to Montauk.
The only editing was some rotation and crop. Guess I could have used that clone stamp tool to remove the SUV up there :)
The lighthouse on Portishead Point in the servern estuary is an unusual black pyramid shaped structure atop a square concrete base. The unusual tower, unique in design, was built by 'Chance Brothers', near birmingham - it would likely have been pre-fabricated at their factory ready for assembly on site. The tower dates from 1931, is 9 metres in height and is accessed by an elevated walkway supported by concrete pillars.
Recently due to financial restraints, the tower has not been painted and the metal has rusted and the tower has deteriorated so much that the Bristol Port Company is concerned about it's strength and is discussing plans to replace the tower, despite local opposition.
Originally a Fog Bell was hung from the corner of the tower but has been removed due to concerns of whether the structure could still handle it's weight - it is now in storage somewhere in Bristol.
The locals are campaigning for the bell to be put back on site as well as for the tower to be restored somewhat, being an important surviving example of a unique Chance Brothers design.
The White light, mounted on the square gallery at the top of the tower gives 3 quick Flashes every 10 seconds and is visible for 16 nautical miles.
We've driven by this a zillion times, but never dreamed we'd see it like this! that is US 1 there on the right. When I took this it was destroyed both north and south of this stretch making Big Sur into an island.
This absolutely screamed out to be tweaked and twiddled.
So I obliged to within an inch of its life.
Glacier Point was the wonderful surprise of the holiday that I wasn't expecting to get to see. Reading guides to the park before I left suggested that the road up to Glacier Point doesn't normally reopen till mid May but this year, the road was open from the end of April.
From this massive vista, you sit almost 1000m directly above the Yosemite Valley floor, looking down towards North America's tallest waterfall and some of the most distinctive mountains in the World. I did promise I wouldn't stand right on the edge and I generally keep my promises but in this case, getting a good look at impending death was something I just couldn't resist.

Pigeon Point Light Station or Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway, 5 miles south of Pescadero, California, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The 115-foot, white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure. Because of its location and ready access from the main highway, Pigeon Point entertains a large number of public visitors.
Dead Horse Point State Park is a state park of Utah, USA, featuring a dramatic overlook of the Colorado River and Canyonlands National Park. The park is so named because of its use as a natural corral by cowboys in the 19th century. The "dead horse" part of the name is that the corral was abandoned, but the horses did not leave the corral, even after the gate was left open, and died there. The park covers 5,362 acres (21.70 km2) of high desert at an altitude of 5,900 feet (1,800 m).
North Point Park is an 8.5-acre (3.4 ha) park located along the north side of the Charles River in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Boston's West End, created as mitigation for the taking of planned parkland for the construction of the Big Dig.
The lighthouse at Point Atkinson was built in 1914 and replaced the original wooden structure, it marks one side of the entrance to English Bay, Vancouver, BC
