Manchester State Beach - New Years Camping Trip
While the roads to here weren't all that pleasant for a 30' trailer, the views were spectacular. We stayed at Manchester KOA (4 Star Rating BTW) and drove to the Point Arena Lighthouse. The road from hwy 1 to the lighthouse drives a long a scenic route along the scenic bluffs.
We stopped at two look out points, one further up and this one. We had both kids but placed them in backpacks, there is no guard railing and one excited running kid could easily go off the ledge. There wasn't any clouds or exciting sunset but we had to choice, if I wanted a shot this is what we got.
I took a few shots, under and overexposed and had a hard time finding a good color composition. After downloading the new Photoshop CC I decided to play around with B&W. I ran three different post processing editions, Lightroom only, Photoshop & Nik programs. I decided to keep this one from PS and will ponder later what still can be done.
"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.

The lighthouse looks as though it has a bend in it... but I checked and it is straight :P
Hung around this cool little cove for a while to watch waves crashing against the lava rock.

This was a popular spot close to the top of one of the hills overlooking Port Hercule and we had to loiter around the area waiting for a chance to photograph JJ in the Frame! Shame about the weather, but it was still an attractive area.
Frame, also known as the Photo Point, is a popular tourist attraction located in Monaco. This unique spot offers visitors the opportunity to capture stunning photos with a picturesque backdrop. The location is known for its eye-catching art installation that serves as a frame for the scenic views of Monaco. As you explore Frame, you will be mesmerized by the beauty of the surrounding area. The art installation blends seamlessly with the natural landscape, creating a perfect setting for memorable photographs. Visitors can spend hours admiring the views and capturing the essence of Monaco through their camera lenses. (From Evendo.com)
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.

Been dying to see this place, and on my way back to Los Angeles from Santa Cruz, I made a stop and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It has a very unique environment, which makes it thrive with life and one of the only places in California with water as blue as it is.
Good morning, everyone! I hope your new year is off to a great start. And if it isn't here is a little Pittsburgh eye candy to help out For those of you that have followed my work for a little while, you may have noticed I like a little symbolism in my photos and I try to come up with creative titles that have double (or triple!) meanings. Today's photo is no different. You all know that the tip of the city at the confluence of the 3 rivers is the point...right? Well that's not where this photo gets it's namesake. Not entirely at least. You'll notice looking at the right corners of the image that there are distinct lines that form triangles (again, one of my favorite compositional elements!) that "point" right to the heart of the city. That's the other point...there's that word again...of motivation for this photo!

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.
