Pigeon Point Lighthouse, one of the tallest on the U.S. West Coast, was built in 1872 to warn ships of the treacherous coast, inspired by the 1853 wreck of the clipper Carrier Pigeon (hence the name) and several subsequent deadly shipwrecks, including the Coya. Now an active Coast Guard aid, the lighthouse tower is undergoing major restoration but still functions, while the keeper's quarters serve as a hostel, making it a historic landmark rich in maritime history and natural beauty.

River Point, previously known as 200 North Riverside Plaza, is a 52 story 730 ft. tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, located at 444 West Lake Street. The 52-story building has 1,000,000 sq ft of floor space. It sits on air rights above active railroad tracks and as well the subway portion of the CTA Blue Line, which affected the angle of some support columns, which in turn produced the parabolic arch in the base of the building.
The iconic Nugget Point (or 'The Nuggets' as referred to by the locals) is located near Kaka Point. There is a car park area from where you commence your walk to the Nugget Point Lighthouse. Wave-eroded rocks, which are likened to the shape of gold nuggets, can be seen from the viewing platform at the end of the path.
Shot at twilight from Point Molate Beach Park. I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice park here on Pt. Molate with great views of Mt Tamalpais and San Pablo Bay. It's nice to see we have some clean open space here. Bravo!
Shot of Promontory Point in the Great Salt Lake from Antelope Island. The tone from NIK Filters is just an experiment.
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.

These female Tule elk and their offspring were seen in a Tule elk refuge location in Point Reyes National Seashore, California.
It was a foggy day, so it helped photographically to get fairly close to these beautiful creatures.
The map location is only very approximate, as I was taken to this location by a guide.
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.
'At the still point of the turning world.
Neither flesh nor fleshless;
neither from nor towards;
at the still point,

another imaginative contribution to a walking trail; this second one is on the west side of the park at the base of a large tree.
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.

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.
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.

Hiking above Dana Point I saw the striking formation of the harbor entrance. Looks like a well protected little beach on the right. What a beautiful place to live now. Tons of hiking trails to explore, restaurants to visit..all within walking distance. Oh, and there are more dolphins here than anywhere else in the world!
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
A sea stack lovers treasure trove.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend!
The last image from my photo walk down on the coastline between Hopeman and Lossiemouth in Morayshire, Scotland. This is Covesea Lighthouse which I have been meaning to revisit to photograph for some time. I also recorded a vlog whilst I was there which you can see over on Youtube at youtu.be/l7BCfNfUL6o
To me this rock looks like the profile of a Hamadryas Baboon. This is a rocky headland near Rockingham, Western Australia
Neist Point, Duirinish, Isle of Skye: the most westerly extremity of the island.
This view is just as big a cliché as Elgol and is, almost always, crawling with photographers around sunset. Just to make my attempt slightly different, I used the NDx1000 filter to get a long enough exposure to smooth out the sea.

See www.karlwilliamsphotography.co.uk/tutorials for a tutorial on the use of the NDx1000 filter for long exposures.
