Point Clark Light is one of six “Imperial Towers” constructed around Georgian Bay and the Bruce Peninsula by John Brown in the early 1850’s. All six towers still stand.
Built between 1855 and 1857, the Point Clark light is the only Imperial Tower located on the mainland, and therefore accessible by vehicle. The 90-foot high limestone tower warns mariners of a dangerous shoal which lies a few miles off shore. The tower is topped by a 12-sided lantern framed in cast iron.
The light has been proclaimed a Canadian National Historic Site, and continues as an active aid to navigation.
The keeper’s dwelling and garage also survive. The keeper’s dwelling has been turned into a maritime museum owned by the Canadian Parks Service and operated by Huron Township.
Cedar Point amusement park near Sandusky, Ohio, is known for its roller coasters. Several of them soar into the sky in a view taken across Lake Erie from the Marblehead Lighthouse park.
nous suivions les rails pour aller au collège, le cœur battant du danger que l'on défiait. L'odeur du métal nous faisait penser au sang, alors nous nous allongions, l'oreille posée sur le métal pour débusquer le prochain train. Puis le sol se mettait à trembler, notre cœur à battre, nos jambes à se dérober. Nous restions debout sur la voie. Le péril avait des contours flous, réel mais pas véritable. L'ombre de la locomotive grossissait dans le froid et le noir du matin d'hiver. le bruit s'amplifiait, la catastrophe s'annonçait. C'était au dernier qui resterait. nous sentions qu'il 'y avait bien chaque fois un fou parmi nous qui irait trop loin. alors nous cédions en nous jetant sur le bas coté bien avant de sentir le souffle de la locomotive. Le cheminot nous apercevait, l'air éclatait tout à coup du klaxon, et le train passait en nous soufflant sa chaleur dans le fracas de la sirène mêlé au grincement des essieux. Submergés de peur, de bruits et de fureur, nous dévalions les cailloux en éclatant de rire.
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.
One day in March I saw that there was going to be a minus tide at the Oregon coast so I jumped in my car and drove like crazy to get there before the tide came in. It's the same day that I was greeted by snow over the coast range.

I went to scout out some areas for later photo sessions today. My travels took me to the shores of Lake Erie, specifically to Rock Point Provincial Park, just South-East of Dunnville, Ontario. The point is aptly named, as the sedimentary rock shelves project out from the park into Lake Erie, representing a significant navigation hazard in the already very shallow lake. As luck would have it, Rock Point has a big boulder on the 'beach'. I believe it is an erratic, i.e a rock carried here by glacial action some 10,000 years (or so) ago. The composition of the rock appears to be granitic, unlike the local sedimentary rock formations. Mother nature was not particularly cooperative today, bringing periodic snow flurries in the sub-zero (Celsius) temperatures as heavy clouds obscured most of the sky, but kindly providing a small break for the small 'god-beam' phenomenon seen out over the lake. On the shore near the camera position, you can see a heavy deposit of what appears to be gravel, but which is, instead, shells of zebra-mussels. This invasive species is believed to have been introduced in ballast from European sea vessels in 1988 and now is well established in Lake Erie (among other lakes and waterways). - JW
Date Taken: 2014-12-29
Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm, ISO100, Aperture priority mode, f/11 (to get depth of field required), 1/80 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee: bring up shadows, reduce highlights slightly to preserve detail in 'god-beam' area, slightly increase black level, boost vibrance, apply noise reduction, sharpen. PP in free Open Source GIMP: load image twice as layers, bottom layer for sky and top layer for shore, adjust the shore layer tone curve to get a good looking shore area disregarding the impact on the sky, adjust the tone curve of the sky layer to get good contrast and highlights disregarding the impact on the shore area, use a soft edged eraser tool to remove the sky from the top/shore layer revealing the better sky in the layer below, create new working layer from the visible result, increase saturation to bring out the colours in the boulder, slightly boost contrast and reduce brightness to get a more natural (to me) look), sharpen, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.

My photo of the loco stabling point adjacent to March station was taken on 24 July 1982. My notebook suggests that the Class 47 is 47083, but I think this was still named "Orion" on this date, and I'm not sure the loco in my pic is carrying a nameplate...
I recorded one of the DMU cars visible as 51265 - according to Railcar.co.uk this will have been paired with either 56189 or 56467 at this date. 51265 was withdrawn from service at Norwich Crown Point depot in January 1986 and was scrapped by Mayer Newman in Snailwell. The working was recorded as the 17.12 from Peterborough - presumably the unit was in the process of running onto the westbound track for its return journey.
I captured this image of the Point Arena Lighthouse during a recent trek through Point Arena, California.
We didn't expected it but when returning from North Ronaldsay the ferry didn't go between the islands but around Sanday so tried to take a few shots as the sea was wild at that time.
"When the whole universe weighs upon us there is no other
counterweight possible but God himself--the true God, for in
this case false gods cannot do anything, not even under the name
of the true one. Evil is infinite in the sense of being indefinite:
matter, space, time. Nothing can overcome this kind of infinity
except the true infinity. That is why on the balance of the cross a
body which was frail and light but which was God, lifted up the
whole world. 'Give me a point of leverage and I will lift up the
world.' This point of leverage is the cross. There can be no other.
It has to be at the intersection of the world and that which is not
the world. The cross is this intersection."
~ Simone Weil

Little Sable Point lighthouse, on the Michigan shore of Lake Michigan at almost the exact midpoint of the shore, was built in 1874. It was the last Michigan lighthouse to be converted to electric light.
I climbed the 130 steps to the top to admire the view.

Was lucky enough to catch this on my beach walk during the winter months.
Lake Point Tower, 1968, was inspired by Mies van der Rohe’s 1922 design for a glass-curtained skyscraper in Berlin. 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.
