This afternoon I decided to take a drive to Cheticamp Island to the lighthouse area due to having seen some sea ice floating around. With tonight's mild south-east wind predicted, it likely won't be there tomorrow, then who knows if it'll be back this winter.
Not a whole lot of ice around, what could be seen from town is deceiving, but was still good to get out nonetheless.
Prints are available.
Seen here at Poole Stadium layover point for the Hants & Dorset Running Day in 1989 are two Leylands of varying vintages
On the left is ex-Bournemouth Burlingham-bodied Royal Tiger NLJ 268. Delivered in 1953 it had a cutaway entrance at the rear in addition to the front door. It was eventually converted to single door configuration for one-man operation (as it was in those days).
After service with Bournemouth it passed to Chesterfield Corporation, where it later became a mobile canteen.
In preservation it was converted back, more or less, to it's original format but gained a door at the rear of the saloon for its role as a mobile museum vehicle
It is now at Winkleigh with the majority of the erstwhile Bournemouth Heritage Transport Collection.
By contrast the Lynx, F102 RTR, was only three months old having been delivered to Southampton City Transport - by then trading as Southampton CityBus - in January 1989. It carried large CityBus logos on an all-white livery, although it due course it received Southampton red livery.
I believe the 'County Bus' logos refer to Hampshire County Council subsidised services - can anyone confirm that point?
"Bloody Point" on Daufuskie is named for a battle between colonists and Native Americans. An indian attack up the coast prmpted retaliation here. The dead trees, a common sight on the barrier islands of South Carolina, give the point a chilling, yet alluring, "boneyard" effect.
To the right, at low tide, a sandbar extends almost 1/2 a mile into the ocean. It is fun to explore, be be quick - the returning tide will kill you.

Another shot from Rocky Point after the sun had already gone down. This one was processed just using Capture NX2. I still haven't bothered to read the manual, but I'm having fun with it. 50 more days on the trial version.
The Point Betsie Lighthouse was built in 1858 and is listed on the National Register of Historical Places. It marks the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage, and is located just south of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and a bit north of Frankfort, Mi on the west coast of the state. The Lighthouse is owned by Benzie County and has strong volunteer support in its operation, maintenance and renovation.

The Stony Point lighthouse was built in 1826, and is the oldest lighthouse on the Hudson River. In October, 1995, the lighthouse was restored, relighted, and re-opened to the public for the first time since 1925, when it was decommissioned after having served for nearly one hundred years.
The lighthouse marked the danger to ships of a rocky promontory - Stony Point peninsula. Thomas Phillips of New York built the lighthouse (an octagonal pyramid made of blue split stone) - and a nearby keepers' house for $3350.

Went down to Jamison's Point this morning with some of the FOCUS crew, some great rock formations down here.
Birmingham tram No 33 passing Temple Point, a building at the end of Temple Row and Bull Street Birmingham.
I'm experimenting with transferring some of my old film pictures to digital. This picture is from around 1994 or so. It is the resort that used to stand in High Point State Park in Sussex, NJ. I took this from the observation deck of the tower that is there. I remember it was a very humid day and I nearly had heat stroke climbing the stairs. This building was torn down sometime in the late 90's
Yavapai provides perhaps the best panorama of the three points on this part of the south rim as it is the most northerly, and the closest to the Colorado River, allowing for unobstructed views up and down the gorge.
The river is just visible due north, at the end of Pipe Creek, immediately west of which is Plateau Point, reached by a branch of the Bright Angel Trail. In the other direction, the near ground is dominated by a long thin ridge running from Yaki Point, extending two thirds of the way to the river. Above and in the distance, peaks and points all the way to Desert View and Palisades of the Desert can be seen.
Three large canyons meet the Colorado on the North Rim. In the west, Trinity Creek flows from beneath Shiva Temple and joins the river near Hopi Point. Directly opposite Yavapai Point is Bright Angel Canyon, a long, straight drainage that provides the only maintained rim to river route on the north side of the Colorado. A few miles further east, Clear Creek forms a deep, twisting canyon that extends a long way northwards towards the distant Walhalla Plateau, above Cape Royal.
