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.

I visited this favoured site with the dual purpose to check out the reno work that has been undertaken and to find some waders. A little disappointed on both counts. Very little work undertaken since the clean-up last year. The few waders we found were a little too far away for decent pix. But I did come across 5 of these.

Series of five. Splash Point is a wonderful area to view Kittiwakes. Unfortunately the winter storms have taken their toll. The white scar is a rockfall this winter, showing how unstable the white cliffs are. The Kittiwakes are having to find alternative nesting sites.
This absolutely screamed out to be tweaked and twiddled.
So I obliged to within an inch of its life.

Sunset Point offers vistas of some of the most famous and breathtaking of Bryce Canyon's hoodoos. Directly below the point and to the south, the Silent City rises from the canyon floor, a maze of hoodoos and fins packed in tight formation.

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.

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
A second five-point buck has been hanging around for a few days. This is a different one from the other one we've seen. This one is a little smaller, perhaps younger. We don't see very many five-point bucks but many more three and four pointers.
So last Thursday, I began to get the itch to try for another Big Sur Pfeiffer Arch sunset shot, and by Saturday, I had made arrangements for a quick overnight trip up the coast. On Saturday morning, I turned on the audio version of Billy Crystal's "Still Foolin Em" and set off for the 320 mile trip up the coast. I knew that the national weather service was calling for mostly cloudy skies, but on the satellite, the clouds looked a bit broken and I thought I might get lucky with the sky above the arch. I arrived in Big Sur by mid afternoon, but the clouds had rolled in a bit too thick and I was bang out of luck in terms of getting any sunlight through the arch. I drove almost two hours back down South almost to Cambria to try to find some sun, but pretty much everything was socked in by that point. Feeling a bit down, I headed up to my motel in Monterey hoping for better luck that night. The moon actually came out after a 90 minute drive up to Pigeon Point and I had some decent luck shooting until the cops showed up. .
The next morning , I got up at 4:30 on a hunch that the same high clouds might hang around long enough to catch some of that early morning light. I arrived at 6 AM and was a bit nervous that the cops might return as the beach area didn't open to the public unti 8 AM, but at 6:30, I threw caution to the wind and set up the tripod as the sky was just beginning to light up. For the next 25 minutes or show, I fired off dozens of frames as the sky caught fire.
It was very cathartic for me to be able to finally get an early morning shot of this lighthouse after getting shut out over the Summer by fog. The clouds disappeared shortly after I shot the lighthouse, and there was quite a crowd down at the arch by the time sunset rolled around. I shot wider this year with the 14-24 and the fisheye and I hope to get some of those shots up in the next couple of weeks.
Then it was six hours back home. Definitely worth the drive last year, and definitely worth the drive again this year. I'm expecting it will definitely be worth the drive next year as well.
Asylum Point Lighthouse stands over Asylum Bay in Oshkosh Wisconsin, near the Winnebago Mental Health Institute from which it originally took it name when it was known as the Northern Asylum for the Insane. It was built in 1937 by the depression era Works Progress Administration, but it was rejected by the Coast Guard as a navigational aid and has never been lit.
Things don't always work out the way we want them to do. The important thing, is simply that we do the best we can with what we've got. Cheers.
Took my niece and nephew to the fair in Winkler, and couldn't help but look for something to point my camera to (other than the kids).
A little info:
The current Thomas Point light is arguably the most widely recognized lighthouse in Maryland and is the only screw-pile light on the Chesapeake Bay still in its original location. (The remaining 3 have been moved to museum settings.) It is the third light to mark Thomas point shoal.
