All pencilpoints pointing to one point!
The pencils aren´t shapened on purpose, so they don´t really have a point.
But all the pencilpoints together make a new not really excisting point... a centerpoint!

Point Roadknight is a narrow ridge of dune calcarenite that parallels the adjoining Urquhart Bluff Beach. The point and its reef protrude 500 m to the east and afford considerable protection to the beach. The beach is 700 m long and faces north-east. It lies between the slippery Soapy Rocks and the point.
I remember our drafting subject during high school. Had a hard time at first, then enjoyed it later. My favorite part was perspective drawing, where you get to see your drawing in a more realistic approach (having a reference/vanishing point).

Taken at Odaiba Bridge Photowalk
Near the ruins of the old Santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix rail station. The trail is a reclaimed rail line that meanders through some beautiful desert scapes. It's not a hard trail, maybe 6 miles RT and relatively flat, but it has many surprise for the eyes along the way.
I'd go back tomorrow if there was time enough. I want to catch this place in the morning light.
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.
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
Good day/night flickr<3
View from Dead Horse Point State Park Utah. Adjacent to Canyonlands National Park. Photo was taken at sunrise standing on the edge with 1000 foot drop off.
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.

I captured this image of the Point Arena Lighthouse during a recent trek through Point Arena, California.
"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

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.

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.
