In order to capture a wilderness of Indian Ocean, I was standing at par in the reef to make a better view in this spot before getting sunset in the cloudy day. I just stopped my activity when the wave splash on me and my camera (i guess, the wave is higher than 2-4 m). Located in Point Genteng (Ujung Genteng), South Sukabumi, West Java (location : www.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Ujung-Genteng-Harbour).

Whitefish Point is located on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the extreme southeastern end of Lake Superior. It is a critical turning point for all vessel traffic entering and leaving this largest of all the Great Lakes. The Whitefish Point Light Station was established by Congress in 1849, and is the oldest operating lighthouse on Lake Superior. The present light tower was constructed in 1861 during Abraham Lincoln’s administration. Whitefish Point marks the eastern end of a notorious 80-mile stretch of shoreline stretching west to Munising, known ominously as Lake Superior’s Shipwreck Coast. Of the 550 known major shipwrecks lying on the bottom of the lake, at least 200 of them are in the vicinity of Whitefish Point. The 1975 loss of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald with her entire crew of 29 has become a world-wide legend. The wreck of the Fitzgerald lies just 15 miles northwest of Whitefish Point. The Light Station was operated exclusively by the U.S. Lighthouse Service from 1849 until 1923, when the U.S. Coast Guard established a Lifeboat Rescue Station here. The Lighthouse Service merged with the Coast Guard in 1939 and the Coast Guard closed the Lifeboat Station in 1951. All personnel were taken from the site in 1970, and the station was automated in 1971. The light station was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, but there was no money for restoration. In 1980, Whitefish Township approached the fledgling Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society for assistance in preserving this important property. The Society obtained a license from the Coast Guard in 1983 to commence museum operations and opened the first exhibits in 1985. The present Shipwreck Museum Building opened in 1987 and features the Edmund Fitzgerald's bell which was recovered from the wreck in 1995 and is rung each November 10th, the anniversary of the sinking, in memory of the 29 crewmen of the Fitzgerald.

Well what can I say about Nugget Point other than the fact that its an awesome place to shoot. Its by far the scariest place I've shot to date. I don't usually suffer from vertigo but by god this place is seriously high. Add a 50km south westerly wind to the equation and a couple spits of rain, not to mention a one meter wide shooting area and you have a recipe for disaster.
There was so much adrenaline running through my body my legs where sore for two days after the shoot.
Well anyway I finally got to sit back and admire by far my most rewarding shoot to date.
Hope you like.

This location draws me back time and time again. I can't get enough of this rocky coastline of Keahole Point that with every turn and crevice is a new exciting discovery.

You would have had to laugh if you saw me and my tripod crouched on a little rock in the middle of Oak Creek trying not to fall into the freezing cold water!

Lake Point Tower, 1968, was inspired by Mies van der Rohe’s 1922 design for a glass-curtained skyscraper in Berlin. Schipporeit and Heinrich took van der Rohe's unbuilt office building concept and converted it to a residential building. Despite differences — Lake Point Tower is much taller than van der Rohe’s original project, more regular in form, and its exterior glass curtain wall is tinted — many consider it a Mies van der Rohe building. Because of its height and lakeside site, the skyscraper had to be designed to withstand high winds. At the center of the building is a triangular core, 59 feet wide, that contains nine elevators and three stairwells. This core holds all of the vertical weight of the building, allowing the perimeter pillars on the facade to be much smaller. Chicago, November 12, 2016

Everything came together for this one at Coal Point, Bruny Island - the sunrise, the waves, the clouds and the water on the rocks for the reflections. Not bad for a mid-winter's day.

Point Hyllie will be an important part of the new urban space around Hyllie station square. The development consists of four tower blocks rising up from a column-supported base.
The tallest building will be approximately 95 m high, the next-tallest 49 m, and the final two between 29 and 23 m high. The two tallest buildings, the twin towers, will according to the architect symbolize a gateway to Sweden.
The project will encompass 300 homes as well as offices and shops, and will form a distinctive landmark in the area.
Woody Point has changed a lot during the past 18 years I've lived on the Redcliffe Peninsula. The seaside village feel has been replaced by the over-populated, over-priced, hustle and bustle that is all too common now in seaside townships across Australia. Meanwhile, a short 100 metre stroll from this highrise, many are living in tents and in squalor. This is Australia in 2025.

Just a few minutes after separation from its Vega launcher on 23 June, the Sentinel-2A satellite automatically activated its solar array and transmitter, oriented itself into an Earth-pointing mode, and started transmitting 'telemetry' – onboard status signals – to the ground.
Receipt of these first crucial data from the new mission marked the start of an intensive phase in the Main Control Room at ESOC, ESA's operations centre, Darmstadt, Germany.
For the next several days, an extended team of spacecraft engineers, systems specialists, flight dynamics experts and ground station technicians will shepherd Sentinel-2A through 'LEOP' – the launch and early orbit phase.
They will work around the clock to activate crucial systems and ensure the spacecraft’s health in the extreme environment of space. For Sentinel-2A, these will include release of the payload shutter lock, first transition to the nominal mode of operations and the first orbital manoeuvre – a burn using the spacecraft's thrusters – that is planned around 51 hours into the mission.
LEOP is also the first time that the mission operations team gets to work with the satellite in the real environment of space; despite the best preparations, unforeseen problems and challenges often arise that must be solved in real time by teams working and thinking on their feet.
As Europe's centre of excellence for satellite operation, ESOC is home to the engineering teams that control spacecraft in orbit, manage our global tracking station network, and design and build the systems on the ground that support missions in space. Since 1967, over 100 satellites belonging to ESA and its partners have been successfully flown from Darmstadt, Germany.

Point Bonita is located at the southwest tip of the Marin Headlands, gateway to San Francisco Bay. This is the perfect vantage point from which one can gaze out to sea where the bay meets the churning Pacific Ocean.
There is a lighthouse located, in this photograph, at the far end of Point Bonita. One must walk through a dark tunnel drilled through the mountain in order to reach the lighthouse. You can see the entrance to the tunnel near the terminus of the steep trail outlined by the white fence in this photograph. The lighthouse is maintained by the Coast Guard, with access provided by the National Park Service.
Ex-Yugoslavian Railways Class 83, 0-8-2, No.83158, passes the loading point at Grivice where coal is fed by conveyer belt from a large open pit coal (lignite) mine. The 760mm narrow gauge line opened in 1947 for coal haulage and is still in commercial operation today, largely using diesel traction with steam as a backup. The train on the right is headed by a diesel locomotive and will make its way to the washery at Oskova. Banovici, near Tuzla, Bosnia Herzegovina.
