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.
We get some amazing sunsets in buffalo.
Im not sure why...
its ALWAYS colorful and the clouds I swear have a mind of their own.
They assemble in ways that always remind me that there is universal beauty.
Its been chilly lately.
Sleeping early today hopefully :D

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

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.
Low Point, situated on the eastern side of the entrance to Syndey Harbour, is both low and flat, making a light there even more critical. Over the years, the point has been known as both Low Point and Flat Point. Government records referred to the point primarily as Low Point up until 1908, and then switched to Flat Point in 1909. In 1953, Low Point became the official name, and that is how it appears on the Canadian Coast Guard’s List of Lights today.

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.

Peinture: "Nu assis à la chemise", Amedeo Modigliani (1917)
"Il y voyait bien davantage encore que le portrait sublime d'une femme dont il connaissait la peau, les cuisses, les hanches, les joues pourpres et la bouche incarnat. Il y voyait ce qu'elle ne lui apporterait plus, ce qu'aucune ne lui offrirait plus, évidemment pas la caresse amoureuse, mais cette richesse intense, l'absolue complicité qui lie le peintre à son modèle. [...] Comme si Chloé posant pour Modigliani, lui avait donné quelque chose qu'il avait connu naguère et qu'il ne percevait plus. Il regardait cette toile comme il voyait le monde, et il voyait le monde comme s'il avait les yeux crevés."
>>> Dan Franck.......in: Nu couché (1998)
"He saw in it much more than the sublime portrait of a woman whose skin, thighs, hips, crimson cheeks and incarnate mouth he knew. He saw in it what she would never give him again, what no woman would ever offer him again, obviously not the caress of love, but that intense richness, the absolute complicity that binds the painter to his model. [...] It was as if Chloé, posing for Modigliani, had given him something he had once known but no longer perceived. He looked at this canvas as he saw the world, and he saw the world as if his eyes were gouged out."

Was lucky enough to catch this on my beach walk during the winter months.
Lake Superior - Grand Marais, MN
Hanging down by the harbor late afternoon produced some nice shots of warm sunshine off the rocks and interesting cloud formations out over the lake. This is looking east towards the area called Artists Point.

For me the point of making these particular types of Kinetic Photographs is that the camera is not in my hands or under my control when the photograph is actually made. I set the camera’s self-timer, throw the camera into the air (sometimes as high as 15 feet or higher), the shutter releases—capturing the photograph—while the camera is airborne, and I hope that I catch my camera without dropping it. The photographic cycle is complete and all that remains is for me to upload my shots and see what has been captured and how. I upload most of the photos in the same orientation in which they were captured.
None of these photos are Photoshopped, layered, or composites...what you see occurs in one shot, one take.
Aren’t I afraid that I will fail to catch my camera and thus drop and break my camera? For regular followers of my photostream and my kinetic photography you will know that I have already done so. This little camera has been dropped many times, and broken once when dropped on concrete outside. It still functions...not so well for regular photographs, but superbly for more kinetic work.
Albeit supremely risky this is one of my favorite ways to produce abstract photographs.

Kinetic: Relating to, caused by, or producing motion.
These are called “Kinetic” photographs because there is motion, energy, and movement involved, specifically my and the camera’s movements.
