Mulholland Point Light, 1B4, Narrows Road, Welshpool, New Brunswick, Canada
Captured from the other side of Union Cove with the International Bridge in the background.
I wasn't sure how much lens I would need to make this capture, so I brought the 150 - 600 mm zoom on my little hike along the north shore of Union Cove to make this capture. Luckily 150 mm was short enough to include a good part of the bridge, since I feel it adds an interesting element to the image. And made even a bit more interesting in that there are quite a few lighthouses in Maine that have bridges from the mainland (or larger island) to lighthouses on smaller islands just off the shoreline. The International Bridge, of course, doesn't go to the lighthouse, but I liked the way the short tele stacked them up and made it look like it did.
Regarding distances:
The lighthouse was about a quarter mile from the camera, and the bridge was about another quarter mile from the lighthouse, so distance and perspective play a big role in how things line up in this image.
The curved building in the background is one of my favorites in Hong Kong.
Taken with the Panasonic GX7 using the 12-35mm F2.8 lens.
Created by Sweetlemon Jewell, this is defnetly one of the most amazing creations in SL.
It worths so very much a visit ;)
Meet you there :)

This mark was on the same wall at St John's church, but about 1.5 m above ground level.
The website, Trigpointing UK has pictures of many, many trigpoints, and this one appears to be unique, with that deeply-cut triangle going through the traditional benchmark.
So, while I will include this in my Banchmarks album, I believe this is a "3rd Order Trig Point" to use the terminology that's used to describe them.
Now, imagine some dude from Ordnance Survey rocking up to your house today and chiselling a mark on the wall ... that could lead to a fun exchange of words!
Norton Point in Edgartown is a great place to be at the end of a day of fishing. You get great views of the sun setting over Katama Bay and Edgartown, even when rendered as black & white.

A bench on the bluff at Coal Chute Point, with inlet and peninsulas leading toward green hills, Point Lobos
A few days ago I needed to go make photographs, following a period during which that has not been possible, so I headed off towards the Monterey Peninsula with a vague plan that might have ended up here at Point Lobos or could have taken me further down the coast highway. It was overcast further north and inland, so I figured that by going south a bit I could find better light. In fact, I did, though it was not without its challenges — though the challenges of thin clouds (with their softened light) and haze usually appeal to me.
Without thinking about it a lot I ended up at Point Lobos, a place I have visited regularly since my family first came to California when I was four years old. Needless to say, this is familiar territory for me! I arrived shortly after the park opened and I headed straight to Whalers Cove and soon saw the peninsulas across this bay fading into atmospheric haze and finally to the "impossibly green" hills of the coastal range — and I knew that this would be my first subject for the day.

The 11-pointer was hanging out with a couple of does. The rut should begin any day now.
Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States of America
Iconic Waterfall in Yellowstone. Can just see part of a rainbow to the right of the falls.
I captured this Rhododendron bloom in our front entrance on my way to work this morning. I like the way the waterdrops have arrows pointing to the center.
Note the dipping limestone pavement, just like Cressy Lakeside. Beautiful, subtle geology in Prince Edward County.
I have fond memories of Point Judith. When I was a child my family would visit our grandmother who lived "across the street from the ocean." Vacation wasn't complete until we scrambled a half mile along the rock beach before reaching the lighthouse. We would work up an appetite on our trek so there was no choice but to stop at Aunt Carries on the way back.
Now her house has been replaced with a three story monstrosity (currently under construction) and the lighthouse is fenced off with a menacing sign posted by Homeland Security. The area is much busier now but its still just as beautiful as I remember it.
Look at him dribble. Greater Yellowlegs feeding in a tidal pool on Bolivar Flats in Galveston County, Texas.
This image was shot from the left hand side of the Zabriskie Point Overlook in Death Valley National Park. I wanted a different take on the location having mostly seen pictures that include Manly Beacon in their composition. So upon arriving before sunset, I plopped down my tripod and gave the area a once over for unique framing options. The textures in this particular area popped as the last bit of the sun’s rays danced over the tops of the formations.
I’ve been mulling over the concept of visual density recently. Surely, I’m not the originator of the concept but haven’t come across a definition so I’ll elaborate as I have come to understand it. Visual density is quality of perception. Each of us have our own tolerance level for how much visual information in a given scene we can process. Training or constant exposure to a larger volume of information allows someone to increase their visual density tolerance, consider how someone going into the FBI or law enforcement is trained to cut through all the varied visual stimuli to remember details. As a personal example, we are moving and were looking at new schools for my son Fane last week. While comparing the top two options, one of the things that came to mind was the structure of the classrooms in terms of visual information. One was full of color and literally drew the eye to the ceilings before you could hit a visual break. The other was more muted. The composition of shelving and toys was mostly wooden with nothing taped/tacked onto the walls. You visually stop at the waist as an adult. My wife and I made a decision based upon what we thought would be less distracting thus more conducive to concentration and learning. Another child might be able to process the plethora of information in the first school. So, individuals have unique tolerance levels.
As it applies to photography, black and white has less visual density than a like color image. Perhaps this is why so many architectural images are converted to black and white so the eye can move across and around without the added distraction. In this shot of Zabriskie Point, my first inclination was a black and white version that focused on the linear zig-zags of the formations. It didn’t come close to succeeding without the pull of color. Color in this case was necessary to the image’s visual density or the structure would fall apart. The eye didn’t know where to go. Maybe as a modern art expression this might work but certainly it would fail to convey the natural beauty of the scene.
Foggy morning at the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse on the Northern California Mendocino coast.
Its Third Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1909, and has served as an aid to mariners ever since. According to the nautical charts, it casts its beam twenty-two miles out to sea six times a minute.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
La pointe du Millier est un cap situé sur la commune de Beuzec Cap Sizun, entre le pays de Douarnenez et le Cap-Sizun, situé à l'extrême ouest de la Bretagne, dont les falaises atteignent jusqu'à 70 mètres de hauteur. Cette pointe forme l'entrée de la baie de Douarnenez avec le cap de la Chèvre.
