Torry Battery has been a landmark for Aberdeen since 1860. On a promontory at the entrance to Aberdeen Harbour it has a history of coastal defence, emergency housing and a sanctuary for migratory birds. It replaced a series of earlier structures going back to 1514.
The Battery was built due to fear of invasion from the sea. It is a fort-like structure and was manned by a volunteer force - The 1st. Aberdeenshire Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers)...the forerunners of today's T.A.'s.
It was armed with 9 heavy guns.
The Battery was dismantled in 1895, but was still
used as a training ground. Smaller guns were installed again and the Battery was manned permanently during WW1.
Between the wars the barracks were used as temporary living accommodation due to an acute housing shortage.
During WW2 there were anti-aircraft guns and searchlights and again, after the war, the barracks became housing until 1953.
There is no record of piped water at the Battery, so we can assume the defence forces through the years relied solely on the well for clean water.
The remains are now a scheduled monument.

On the east side of PEI along the Northumberland Strait. Between Nova Scotia and PEI, you can go nuts taking fotos of lighthouses. If you don't, your spouse will!! lol
Cheers Ant for the heads-up about this spot, well worth many more visits I reckon!
We had some nice wispy clouds about today which was a relief after seeing only clear skies on the way down to Potter Point this morning. Turned out to be a really nice sunrise.
I've included Ant working his magic in this shot so you can appreciate the scale of this area.
Cheers

Shi Shi Beach, Olympic National Park
There is no doubt that Shi Shi Beach is the most beautiful beach in Olympic National Park. Point of Arches, a mile-long cavalcade of sea stacks and natural arches, at the south end of Shi Shi Beach is truly a paradise for photographers. It is also featured by the unique rock formations on the ground. Camping and watching sunset at Point of Arches became the most amazing experience during this trip.
To camp overnight on Shi Shi Beach, one needs to get the wilderness camping permit from the visitor center in Port Angeles or Forks. You DON'T need to buy the Makah recreation pass in Neah Bay, since the pass is for day visit. But when approach to the Shi Shi trail head, try to find the closest house who has available park space advertised, and pay whatever they charge you for overnight parking. Overnight parking at the trail head is not allowed.
BTW: the new flickr interface seems to be not friendly to photos with portrait orientation. Make sure to press "L" to view them in full screen mode, otherwise the photos are resized and compressed in a wield manner...

Short trip to Beluga Point. The first sunny day that we have had in a few days. I had to take advantage while the sun was out. As my wife says, "Make hay while the sun shines".

This little kitty was a long way off, so I couldn't get a great shot, but its the first cat in the wild I have ever captured.
Arnish Point lighthouse near Stornoway, on a rare sunny day.
The simple shapes here made me try a different tonemapping technique, and I went for something slightly grungy.

While I have paid a visit to Point Arena a few times over the years on my visits to California, my efforts never seemed to produce acceptable results. On my last visit, the light tower had been totally sandblasted and was a concrete color as it was receiving a makeover.
The weather forecast for the day of this visit also called for mostly cloudy skies and a chance of rain. When I arrived early in the afternoon I was greeted by sun with the clouds being just inland off the shore. That changed later on when the cloud cover backed back over the water but I decided to wait for the sun to dip below them. After about an hour and a half wait I was greeted with this view. I am glad I stuck around.
26a Sturgeon Point light
The Sturgeon Point Light Station is a lighthouse on Lake Huron in Haynes Township, Alcona County, northeastern lower Michigan. Established to ward mariners off a reef that extends 1.5 miles lakeward from Sturgeon Point, it is today regarded as a historic example of a Cape Cod style Great Lakes lighthouse.
Brace yourself, because at the top of the path you'll hit the windiest point on the Pacific coastline, where you literally have to be careful not to get blown off the cliff.

The Full Moon rising over the canyon on the evening of Sunday, October 9, 2022, as seen from Yaki Point on the South Rim. The first full moon after fall equinox is often called the Hunter's Moon.
For those planning a visit to Grand Canyon National Park this fall, here is a link to 2022 sunrise/sunset times along with moon phases and moonrise times > go.nps.gov/sunset (4276)
What's your preference? Would you rather see a spectacular full moon rising over the canyon? or do you prefer a dark night sky with thousands of stars and the Milky Way overhead?
Knowing the dates of the full and new moons can help when planning your trip.
As an International Dark Sky Park, Grand Canyon is a great place to look up and see one of the darkest night skies in the country.
