This holiday was one of railways and lighthouses. This was by far the most accessible at Chanonry point. My thanks to Siorrachd Rois for pointing the way
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 Pleasant, OH (Clermont County)
Point Pleasant was platted in 1813. A post office called Point Pleasant that was established in 1826 remained in operation until 1983. By 1833, Point Pleasant had about 130 inhabitants. The Ohio River flood of 1937 inundated the community.
Point Pleasant was the birthplace of U.S. President Ulysses S. Grant. The one-story cottage where he was born was taken by barge on a tour across the country, then by rail to Columbus, Ohio, where it was displayed at the Ohio State Fairgrounds. It was returned to Point Pleasant in 1936, where it has been restored with period furniture and opened to tours. (1)

Montauk Point Lighthouse was the first lighthouse on Long Island and was commissioned by George Washington in 1795. It recently became a National Historic Site. The Keeper's house (the brown building in front) is a mini-museum with a lot of history about the various keepers going back to the earliest days.
This is the South Eastern part of a small peninsula in my neighborhood called the Point. Great place to jog, stroll, bike or to grill.
This was taken RAW, originally using portrait mode and processed in ViewNX using Vivid. Then used Photomatix to HDR with one file. HDR'd enough to just get the layers of the clouds to stand out and bring the trees and steps out of silhouette. Somehow, the dimensions got a little larger. This was not intended.

We drove up to see this cute lighthouse yesterday. There were only a few cars but several out-of-state plates. This shot is a poor replica of Flickr contact John Bald.
Pemaquid Point Lighthouse is the only place in the United States where you can tour Maine’s first land-based lighthouse opened to the public, get married, spend your honeymoon, and pay for it all using the only U.S. money ever to bear the image of a lighthouse—Maine’s official quarter featuring Pemaquid Point Light.
This picturesque light has attracted many, including Edward Hopper, who captured its image in his 1929 watercolor, “Pemaquid Light.” Today, Pemaquid Point is one of New England’s most visited and photographed lighthouses, drawing over 100,000 visitors annually.
When Bartholomew Gosnold sailed to Pemaquid in 1602, the area was already a port of call for French, Portuguese, Spanish and English fishermen and the occasional coastal trader. Still, it was bit surprising to see Native Americans in western garb board the Dartsmouth and greeted Gosnold in English. (Lighthouse Friends website)
This one is an out-take. I tied each glass together with a fishing line near the base. The idea was to pull over all three glasses at the same time (to the right), but when I pulled the line broke, and only the blue glass actually fell over. I kinda like it though. A happy accident.
Lighting Info: 580 EX II on full power camera right shot into an umbrella. SB 26 on full power camera left shot through an umbrella. I used a 3'x3' sheet of black acrylic for the table and some black velvet as the background. The "glasses" are actually plastic. Good thing too, because they ended up crashing to the ground multiple times.
Next time I'm planning to put up two sheets (or white shower curtains) on the sides to act as defusers (instead of using umbrellas). I don't like the reflections of the umbrellas in the sides of the glass.
Post Processing: I cleaned up a lot of small dust specks using the spot healing and clone stamp tools in Photoshop. I also selected the background and painted it black to remove any stray specks and the fishing line.
