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

Glaciar point in Yosemite is one of the best places to get a good view of the park. We were tired after our hike to upper yosemite falls the previous day, so we went their by car instead of hiking. This place definitely is one of the "places" that you should visit in yosemite. Yosemite is a huge park and I have a lot more to see.
Fun fact: The place I took the photo from was under 600ft of ice during ice age
Going to use this image to fill in one of the weeks we missed in her 52 Weeks. I like the grass on her beard, the grass was mowed that morning and it had rained. =D

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.

On the extreme right of the picture you can just see a bit of the Broadway Market.
"Fells Point's history started long before Baltimore became a city. The town was founded in 1730 by William Fell and became a major port and shipbuilding center. In 1797, the town combined with Baltimore Town and Jones Town to form the city of Baltimore. Fells Point's prosperity continued as immigrants flowed to the area to fill the jobs quickly being created. However, the professional class moved north to higher ground and lower densities, leaving behind the area's more diverse working class.
Numerous antique stores can be found along Fleet Street.
It's this diversity and working class spirit that has imbued most of Fells Point's character throughout the years. The area has some of the largest concentration of bars in the city. But in recent years more boutiques and restaurants have opened to serve the growing professional class that has come back to the area and participated in its gentrification.
Many folks from out of town had been afraid to travel east of Baltimore's Inner Harbor to visit the area. But development of the city's posh Harbor East community has replaced aging brownfields and served as a bridge, connecting the Inner Harbor with Fells Point. The area's two Main Streets include Thames and Broadway with the intersection of the two streets forming the heart of the community. Other shops and restaurants can be found along Aliceanna and Fleet Streets.
Broadway is the heart of Fells Point.
A stop at Fells Point is recommended for anyone visiting Baltimore. Almost no chains have moved into the area yet, so most stores are unique. And although this part of town has become increasingly upscale, you can still find good prices.
Retail Hours
Stores are open seven days a week. Some even have late night hours, staying open to as late as eleven p.m. or midnight.
Parking
Parking isn't too hard to find if you follow the signs. Many garages have been built in the area in recent years. On street parking may be difficult to find at peak times, however, and many sidestreets are off limits except to residents with special permits. Keep your eyes open. A new metering system has been adopted in the city for on-street parking. You place your money or credit card in a machine and in return you are issued a ticket that you post inside your car.
Restrooms
Clean public bathrooms are difficult to find. If it's an emergency, there's a "Public Comfort Station" on Aliceanna Street but this location is not recommended.
Visitor's Center
The Baltimore Waterfront Promenade connects Fells Point to the Inner Harbor.
For more information you can try the
Fells Point Visitor's Center (1724-26 Thames Street, 410-675-6751). There's also a Visitor's Information kiosk at the foot of Broadway at Thames Street.
Attractions
There are plenty of attractions in Fells Point to help give you a good idea of what makes the community special. For something you don't see everyday, step inside the
Baltimore Tattoo Museum (1534 Eastern Avenue, 410-522-5800). You may even step outside with one of your own.
There's also the Water Taxi (800-658-8947). Once popular mainly with tourists, it's starting to take off with commuters who want to bypass the clogged city streets. You can take a direct and scenic route from Fells Point to Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Another way to travel between the two communities is to walk along the Baltimore Waterfront Promenade, which rings almost entirely around the harbor.
Fells Point may be known for its nightlife, but if you want to meet a different kind of "nightlife," check out Baltimore Ghost Tours (410-522-7400) featuring The Original Fells Point Ghost Walk and The Fells Point Haunted Pub Walk.
Tips
Broadway Market (South Broadway between Fleet & Lancaster Streets, 410-396-3100) is one of several markets that are unique to Baltimore. It features a collection of stalls selling a wide variety of foods. You can eat at a counter or get takeout and enjoy your lunch at one of the local parks.
Also, for that local Fells Point flavor, you'll want to try some crabs and one of the best places for that is Obrycki's (1727 East Pratt Street, 410-732-6399). They were listed in the book, 1,000 Places to See Before You Die. So you know you gotta visit.
There's also Bertha's Restaurant and Bar (734 South Broadway, 410-327-5795), one of Baltimore's favorites. Their specialty is mussels, which they sell with a wide variety of dipping sauces."

Devil's Point, Located less than half a mile distance from Clifton Beach. It is an adventures place and if Arabian Sea is calm you may want to catch a good size fishes too.

The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.
This lighthouse was built in 1908 to replace an earlier version after the original brick lighthouse was damaged beyond repair in the Great San Francisco Earthquake.
Constructed of reinforced concrete, this lighthouse was built by a company that specialized in smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.
At 115 feet tall, the Point Arena Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on the U.S West Coast (tied with Pigeon Point)
Point Arena is the closest point to Hawaii on the U.S. mainland, which makes this as close as I will probably ever get to Hawaii.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Many shots of Cedar Point's latest coaster, Valravn. The ride hangs passangers over the edge then drops.

Our Tri Point hike is family (and dog!) friendly and bursting with color ☀🌸🐶
A half-mile trek that ends at the intersection of Oregon, California, and Nevada, the hike offers panoramic views, a bit of history, and some truly amazing wildflowers.
