As we were taking off from Martin State Airport, we had a nice view of Wilson Point there that sticks out towards the Chesapeake Bay. I marked on the photo where my Dad's house is located. Also marked some other features in the photo like downtown Baltimore, etc.
Just about all the homes there on the end of Wilson Point ended up with water in them when Hurricane Isabel came up the East Coast. You can see how easily that thin peninsula does not provide a lot of protection from water being blown in from across the large bay.
Fort Point has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush 1853, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.
Ka’ena Point, the northwestern most tip of the Hawaiian island of O’ahu, is to my back here. This smallish triangle of land at the point of the island is fenced off to protect the Laysan albatross nesting colony in front of me from predators that would raid their nests and eat their eggs.
Point Betsie Light is located on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan — at the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage — north of Frankfort in Benzie County in Northern Michigan. Construction began in 1854, but it was not completed until 1858, and began service in the shipping season of 1859.
The name Point Betsie originates from the Native American people who were in the area and communicating with the French at the time. The French "Pointe Aux Bec Scies" comes from the Indigenous word "Ug-Zig-A-Zee-Bee" which People of the Three Fires [Tribal] Council gave to a river flowing into Lake Michigan just a few miles to the south, where sawbill or Merganser ducks thrived. Translated, Point Betsie means Saw Beak Point.

Point Arena Lighthouse is perhaps the most breath taking lighthouse along the California coast. The tallest of the lighthouses in California, its location along the Mendocino County Coastline is also the closest to the Hawaiian Islands --not that it means anything--it's just a fun fact. Usually there is healthy blanket of fog draped along the coast during the spring months. I was lucky on this early spring morning to catch this venerable old lighthouse aglow with the radiant light of a brand new day.

Knights Point Outlook. Back in the 50's, the area was surveyed by Norman McGeorge and the Point was named after his dog Knight.
A view of Lizard Point from just east of Souter Lighthouse at Whitburn. A warm sunrise gave way very rapidly to a grey day. Here the last of the colour is absorbed by a 4 minute exposure as it melts away.
The Point Bonita Lighthouse was first lit on May 2, 1855. Lens: Fixed, second-order Fresnel purchased from Paris for $7,000. First fog signal used on the U.S. West Coast was at Point Bonita. An Army-surplus, eight-foot long, 24-pounder siege gun from the Benicia Arsenal.

3135 feet of elevation gain in 3 1/2 miles. And that's all that I have to say about that...
Mildred point is one of the highest viewpoints on the South side of Rainier next to Van Trump (which is kinda in view to the right) and of course Skyline which if you lost your baring's you might find yourself on the summit of the volcano... It is also unique in that it doesn't take you to a lovely spot, nay, it takes you to a chasm, a rocky valley carved and eroded by many a lahar and landslides depicting the more volatile aspects of the Grand Lady. Up and to the left you can just discern the Kautz Glacier and the birth of the creek by the same name as it is expelled into the world via waterfalls and a downhill run that would make a bobsledder cry. The chill wind is in your face and ruffling your clothes all the while the sound of water surrounds you interrupted occasionally by the sound of a boulder bouncing down the steep slopes and the insanely loud CRACK of the glacier melting in the Summer heat. I was alone as I'd set off at dawn and I couldn't find a bird, squirrel, dear, elk, bear, nor human in any pics or in person, it was eerie, just me and the mountain that I'd not seen in what felt like ages sharing a moment.
God rest the Queen, long live the King.

Blow it up, lots to see in there.
To me this rock looks like the profile of a Hamadryas Baboon. This is a rocky headland near Rockingham, Western Australia

Spent a few weeks out on Nantucket this summer and was lucky enough to get some nice shots of the lighthouse and the stars.
CC Week 5 - Vanishing Point
It may be a boring photo, but of all the photos I have taken this week, this one best illustrates the idea of a vanishing point, as you can see lines converging from all sides.
A view from Windy Point looking north. This the start of the Samuel H Boardman State Scenic Corridor when heading south.
"Samuel H. Boardman State Scenic Corridor is a linear state park in southwestern Oregon. It is 12 miles (19 km) long thru a thickly forested, steep and rugged coastline with a few small sand beaches. It is named in honor of Samuel H. Boardman, the first Oregon Parks superintendent.
The Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Oregon Islands Wilderness protect wildlife and habitat on all of the approximately 130 rocks and islands along the corridor's shore." wikipedia

Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
Loch Linnhe is a sea loch on the west coast of Scotland. The part upstream of Corran is known in Gaelic as An Linne Dhubh (the black pool, originally known as Loch Abar), and downstream as An Linne Sheileach (the salty pool). The name Linnhe is derived from the Gaelic word linne, meaning "pool"
Loch Linnhe follows the line of the Great Glen Fault, and is the only sea loch along the fault.[2] About 50 kilometres (31 mi) long, it opens onto the Firth of Lorne at its southwestern end. The part of the loch upstream of Corran is 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) long and an average of about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) wide. The southern part of the loch is wider, and its branch southeast of the island of Lismore is known as the Lynn of Lorne. Loch Eil feeds into Loch Linnhe at the latter's northernmost point, while from the east Loch Leven feeds in the loch just downstream of Corran and Loch Creran feeds into the Lynn of Lorne. The town of Fort William lies at the northeast end of the loch, at the mouth of the River Lochy.

One from last year, which seems a long time ago now. This is the point between Little Salmon and Salmon Bay where a pair of sea eagles next on the sea stack at Rottnest Island.
Zabriskie Point composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
Zabriskie Point was used as surface of Mars in the film Robinson Crusoe on Mars; The Joshua Tree. Zabriskie Point is also the name of a 1970 movie by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni; its soundtrack features music by British band Pink Floyd and Jerry Garcia.

For the first time in over twenty years we took a trip to Spurn Point yesterday. A good deal has changed in the interim period. For one the road from the visitor centre top the lighthouse has been washed away, so unless you are lucky enough to take one off the paid "Unimog" trips the only means of access is an eight mile return walk. What. pleasure that was and for me the highlight was a walk through a wild flower meadow where much of the bird life seemed to be concentrated. This photo of a Meadow Pipit was taken there.
Although the Meadow Pipit is still a numerous bird in the UK it is declining in numbers. Having spoken yesterday with a local warden he advised that a the main reason was the lack of insects that are a key component of the birds diet. The biggest threats are that of intensive agriculture and pollution in the forms of pesticides and fertilisers

Another shot of Beckley Point in Plymouth, taken on an evening out with Jay Stone.
Beckley Point is Plymouth's newest student accommodation tower block and at 23 floors it's the tallest building in the South West. A lot of local people think it looks ugly and is a blot on the landscape, but at night I think it looks pretty cool.
I do like doing night time photography, I don't do enough of it but I think we're quite limited in Plymouth. We don't have lots of lit up buildings and futuristic looking skyscrapers like they do in London, so once you've shot an area here at night there aren't really many options left.

Casa Loma, also known as Rocky Point, is one of many famous locations on Donner Pass. Here the railroad runs right above the American River Canyon, overlooking the river 2000 feet below. However, on this day the fog was heavy in the canyon so the majority of it was not visible.
On a Friday morning the ZLTG2 roars uphill through Casa Loma. A couple minutes later, the westbound counterpart would meet it as they race downhill with a cloud of smoke and the smell of burning brakes following it on the steep grade. Not long after both trains cleared, the OCS would pass westbound following only a couple miles behind the Z.
