Zabriskie Point is a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, United States, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
The location was named after Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company in the early 20th century. The company's twenty-mule teams were used to transport borax from its mining operations in Death Valley.
If there are any "iconic" photos of the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Co. & Museum's operations in Portland, Maine, this one probably qualifies as well as any. In this image, the 33-ton Bridgton & Saco River Railroad #7 brings her excursion consist around the big, sweeping curve at Fish Point, during an afternoon excursion in June of 2018. The two-foot gauge trains operate here on about 1.3 miles of former Grand Trunk right-of-way, which run parallel to Portland's Eastern Promenade Trail. Although none of the Maine 2-foot railroads ever operated in Portland, and this line doesn't resemble any of the authentic operating locations at all, it is far more scenic than a typical, New England "tree-tunnel". The location, right downtown in Maine's largest city, also provides the museum with a much larger potential ridership pool than would be the case at one of the historic, 2-foot railroad locations, such as Bridgton, Monson, or Phillips.

A trip to Carmel, California meant a visit to Point Lobos, and an attempt at some Edward Weston-inspired photos of the famous state park.
Ive been wanting to visit this place for years. The ranger told me hes worked there 30 yrs and still havent seen it all, I only had about 5 hrs, oh well, we visited the lighthouse which was a hike in itself uphill to a visitors center, then good golly over 300 stairs down to the lighthouse itself. it looks doable till your legs start going numb, thank goodness they have rest benches along the way lol. I would not want to be here on one of the cold windy foggy days they have. the lighthouse is a 45 min drive from the park entrance, I wish I had more photos from other areas of the park but thats reserved for another visit.
This was part of an epic california roadtrip, feel free to check out my hiking tips vid in Yosemite here www.youtube.com/watch?v=JAHfTTuBbns
History
The Cleveland Point Lighthouse was the second light to be erected on this site, replacing an earlier beacon established in 1847.
This lighthouse was built in 1864 and though being the the typical timber framed Queensland lighthouse is unusual because it is hexagonal rather than round and is clad with weather boards instead of the metal cladding common elsewhere in this state.
It was built to accommodate Cleveland, once a thriving port in the middle of last century.
In 1872 the existing lens was replaced with the one from the Moreton Island light.
Two red sectors were installed in 1920 to indicate shoals off Peel Island, Cleveland Point, Banana Island and Raby Bay.
In 1934, the lighthouse was converted from kerosene to electric power. At this time the City Electric Light Company Limited became the responsible authority for the light.
The first local experiments in the use of laser beams as navigational aids were carried out from this lighthouse in 1969.
The light's second keeper, James Troy 1877-1927, holds the Australian record for being the longest serving lightkeeper at one lighthouse.
In 1976, the lighthouse was moved to a new location 30 metres to make way for a new beacon. Here it stood until renovated by the Redlands Shire Council in 1978.
Obsidian Projectile Point made by Native Americans. This broken point was in the fell field at 11,500 ft., about 1300 ft. above timberline. Conditions are extremely barren at that elevation and were probably just as harsh hundreds or thousands of years ago. It's very hard to imagine why Native Americans would be up there unless they were travelling a trail to somewhere else. Very few relics have been found at that elevation. White Mountains.

This is the Marshall Point Lighthouse, in Port Clyde, Maine. It was featured in the movie Forrest Gump :)

Kaligonga, was her name, and still it is.
With the period of time, other than name she lost everything.
Her pride, her strength, her beauty....all of it.
But from the bridge over it, it seems different.
Sometimes its amaizing.
