On our way from Eureka to Half Moon Bay California we stopped off at Pigeon Point Lighthouse just as the sun began to set. We had been in the car for quite some time driving through Northern California where temperatures were near or over 100 degrees. We weren't dressed properly for the chilly temps we encountered here along the coast...lots of shivering and camera shake in some of the pics I took!
Pigeon Point Lighthouse in Pescadero, CA. Days of wind and rain finally gave way to a beautiful sunset on the pacific coast. This lighthouse is perched on the cliffs in central California, 50 miles south of San Francisco.

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my photography.
I rarely get to take photos in the morning. (Unless its grabbing a quick shot around the house before my wife goes to work.) But I was on vacation last week so I took the opportunity to get out to Oak Openings as the sun was rising.
One thing I can't live without is being out and about in the fresh air and it always helps if the weather is lovely!
This was at approximately my half way point (to my planned destination) after cycling up the steepest of hills, I had to stop for a breather and drink of water! Finished my cycle with a nice 38.5km recorded! Looks like, I'm back on my bike, as long as the weather remains good!!

Start Point lighthouse was built in 1836 to protect shipping off Start Point in South Devon England. Start Point is one of twenty nine towers designed by James Walker. The tall circular tower is 28 metres (92 ft) high.
The Georgina Point Lighthouse (also known as the Active Pass Lighthouse) sits at the Northern tip of Mayne Island on Georgia Strait at the entrance to Active Pass, a channel between Mayne and Galiano Island (a main ferry route from the Vancouver Area to the Victoria Area). The original light station was established in 1885, however the current light was built in 1940. The lighthouse was decomissioned in 1969. It is currently on part of the Parks Canada Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. Photos taken on July 28, 2020 from a B.C. Ferry passing by.
This was the highlight of the trip for me with the Medicine Wheel a close second. The views of the Colorado River from Dead Horse Point rival those at the Grand Canyon, in my opinion. I didn't want to leave. I would like to spend a whole day in this area and shoot in various lighting conditions.

Dead Horse Point State Park offers magnificent views of the canyon country of southeastern Utah including the pinnacles and buttes of Canyonlands National Park. The mesa that is Dead Horse Point overlooks the Colorado River 2,000 feet below. The final scene of the movie “Thelma and Louise” was filmed here.
Before the turn of the century, mustang herds ran wild on the mesas near Dead Horse Point. The unique promontory provided a natural corral into which the horses were driven by cowboys. The only escape was through a narrow, 30-yard-wide neck of land controlled by fencing. Mustangs were roped and broken with the better ones being kept for personal use or sold to eastern markets. Unwanted culls of "broomtails" were left behind to find their way off the Point. According to one legend, a band of broomtails was left corralled on the Point. The gate was supposedly left open so the horses could return to the open range. For some unknown reason, the mustangs remained on the Point where they died of thirst.

Here's a Rework of an Image I did earlier in the year. One of my friends wanted it printed so I thought I'd fix it a little and re upload it.

Mori Point at Sharp Park State Beach in the city of Pacifica, San Mateo County, California, overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The 105 acres of Mori Point are now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) and, thus, protected for all time. The views are breathtaking. Coastal scrub plants cling to the ground.....their way of coping with the frequent gusty winds which blow over the hillsides. High up above the cold waves below, the site boasts sweeping views from Point Reyes all the way to Pedro Point. Mori's nature includes coastal bluffs, coastal prairie, and freshwater ponds.
Mori Point has been the site of many enterprises over the years. Originally part of the Spanish San Pedro Land grant, Spanish missionaries grew barley, corn and beans, and grazed cattle. The Mori family settled in Pacifica in the 1890s and began farming the land. By the 1920s the primary family business was the Mori Point Tavern, which became a much-loved drinking establishment through the Prohibition years. An alleged raid in 1923 resulted in the confiscation of 2300 whiskey bottles by federal agents. In the following decades the tavern business declined, and the building eventually burned to the ground in 1966.

A pair of FEC GP40-2s sit out a quiet Sunday morning at City Point. The lead unit and the cars that follow will be added to southbound rock train 335 in the early hours of Monday morning. The large Cemex facility seen in the distance is no doubt a good customer for the Florida East Coast.

The Voyager Point footbridge is a single span arched bridge of steel providing a 2.5m wide footpath for pedestrians and mobility carts. It replaced the former timber footbridge closed in 2001.
Commenced off-site in the first half of 2003, on-site construction started in early July. At a cost of $1.8 million the footbridge was officially opened on the 19th May 2004 by Federal Member for Hughes Danna Vale with Special Minister of State Senator Eric Abetz.
A Brief History:
The original timber footbridge was constructed in 1950 to enable residents and the East Hills Migrant Hostel access to East Hills shops and train station. The bridge collapsed in the 1956 flood and one local resident did a good neighbourly deed by providing a temporary boat service accross the river. Described as unsafe, the Commonwealth eventually stepped in to provide a ferry service that cost 5s for adults and school children 2s, 6d a week expressly at the passenger's own risk.
There was a long running dispute between federal and local government over who should fund bridge maintenance. On September 11, 1987 residents on the opposing river bank had their suburb officially named Voyager Point. The bridge still flooded and was described as dilapidated in 1989. Falling further into disrepair it was threatened to be demolished in March 2001.
On the 13th July 2001 Council closed the footbridge to pedestrian traffic after the Federal Government commissioned an independent report condemning it for safety reasons. A couple of months after closure, boats were still navigating under the footbridge despite a warning sign indicating possible falling debris.
The Federal Government had agreed to build a new footbridge but with delayed construction, local residents and students were furious with the inconvenience having to make alternative travel arrangements. One year after footbridge closure, residents protested in the streets and the Voyager Point Progress Association requested documents under FOI. The Association also challenged State Government land revaluations as they believed the consequent tax increases were unjustified with the footbridge out of action.
On the weekend of 24th August 2002 an army vessel crashed into the footbridge pylons causing substantial damage. This complicated matters further as it was subject to an insurance claim and part of the bridge was removed to make it safe.
As the banks of the Georges River reside in two local government shires there were several draft agreements between Liverpool & Bankstown Councils with the Federal Government. The final agreement had the new footbridge Federally funded and built with ownership and maintenance to be passed to the local councils. There were numerous bureaucratic obstacles to overcome including State Government approval to span the Georges River and the airspace above it. There was also dispute between Local Councils and the Federal Government over the requirement for Development Applications.

Today I visited Point Roberts in Washington State. I checked out the beach at Lighthouse Marine Park. During my visit I saw 5 new "lifers" for me. Although one might be wrong, but still a lot for one day.
** Just off the parking lot this Bald Eagle was perched on a pylon and was not concerned about the cars.

I have no methodical way of editing and so today's post is back to my California trip. I edit what I feel and I've been yearning for the ocean in a big way.
This is a capture just as the sun was setting at Rocky Point off the Big Sur coast line.
