Black Point Fissures. These deep, narrow cracks occur on the crest of Black Point, a volcanic cinder cone on the north side of Mono Lake. The cone was formed about 13,000 years ago during an eruption that began beneath Lake Russell, the Pleistocene ancestor of modern-day Mono Lake. These cracks are the result of rapid cooling of the volcanic rocks in the glacially-fed lake. Inyo National Forest. Near Lee Vining, Mono Co., Calif.

The Point Pinos Lighthouse in Pacific Grove, California.
Its Third Order Fresnel lens has served as an active aid to maritime navigation since its lamp was first lit in 1855.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Back to last weekends photo stroll at Landguard Point, Felixstowe.
This is an old Jetty that is right at the tip of the point and where the Rivers Orwell and Stour flow into the North Sea.
Here's a bit of info from the www: (source www.geograph.org.uk/photo/982614)
These timber baulks once carried rail lines to the end of the jetty. The railway was linked to Landguard Fort where, in the latter part of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century, a system of using submerged mines was devised to protect the approaches to Harwich Harbour.
The railway was used to transport the mines, using hand-pushed trucks, to the jetty where they were loaded on ships and deployed in the harbour.
Thanks for taking the time to visit. Any comments or faves are appreciated

"Bone pointing" is a method of execution used by the Australian Aborigines. It is said to leave no trace, and never fails to kill its victim. The bone used in this curse is either made of either human, kangaroo, emu or even wood.
Before it can be used, the kundela (bone) is charged with a powerful psychic energy in a ritual that is kept secret from women and those who are not tribe members. To be effective, the ritual must be performed faultlessly. The bone is then given to the kurdaitcha, who are the tribe's ritual killers.
These killers then go and hunt (if the person has fled) the condemned. The name, kurdaitcha comes from the slippers they wear while on the hunt. The slippers are made of cockatoo (or emu) feathers and human hair - they virtually leave no footprints. Also, they wear kangaroo hair, which is stuck to their bodies after they coat themselves in human blood and they also don masks of emu feathers. They hunt in pairs or threes and will pursue their quarry for years if necessary, never giving up until the person has been cursed.
The condemned man may live for several days or even weeks. But, he believes so strongly in the curse that has been uttered, that he will surely die.

Obviously, a bone that still has a pulse isn't used.

Low tide at Victoria Point ( Vicky Point, as the locals call it ) in Queensland. The mud flat went out for about 50 m or so, and I learnt a valuable lesson about the further out you go, the softer the mud, and the more you sink ! I guess every good photo has a story behind it.
Landscape 2. this place is a 30 min bike ride from my flat in Wellington... hope this didn't break lockdown :)
On this day last year we were visiting my 83 year old friend Connie who owns a beach front home in Point Roberts Washington which is the American end of the Tsawwassen Peninsula created by the 49th parallel cutting it in half.
Point Bonita Lighthouse, the guardian of the northern tip at the entrance of the Golden Gate, is located at the end of a sharp rocky peninsula that extends into the Pacific Ocean from the Marin Headlands not far from San Francisco, California. This was the third lighthouse built on the West Coast (1854) and the last manned lighthouse in California.

Ice building up at Point Betsie last month. No light just bitter cold wind. But the ice was spectacular!!

Pigeon Point Lighthouse - on Route 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) in California. Having passed this place on numerous occasions, always in the fog, I finally got lucky - and what an amazing sunset I got to see :-)
