Restos del desembarco de Normandia durante la segunda guerra mundial. Los ranger escalaron hasta la cima utilizando cuerdas bajo el fuego de las fuerzas alemanas y conquistaron la cima. Poco después pudieron comprobar que los cañones no se encontraban allÃ, los alemanes los habÃan ocultado tierra adentro. El puñado de rangers supervivientes, localizaron e inutilizaron los cañones, aguantando dos dÃas las posición frente a repetidos ataques alemanes. Gracias a ellos, los buques americanos, canadienses y demás pudieron desembarcar en las playas de Normandia.

Sorry for non long English explanation (i have limited english!). This is from the D-Day in second world war. From the point du hoc, a strategically place that rangers attacked before the boats came to the beach. Thanks to come!
Sundown over the Point Arena Lighthouse.
The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California.
This is the third lighthouse on this point. The original lighthouse was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
Its lantern room once housed a First Order Fresnel lens.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
La pointe du Millier est un cap situé sur la commune de Beuzec Cap Sizun, entre le pays de Douarnenez et le Cap-Sizun, situé à l'extrême ouest de la Bretagne, dont les falaises atteignent jusqu'à 70 mètres de hauteur. Cette pointe forme l'entrée de la baie de Douarnenez avec le cap de la Chèvre.
Palos Verdes Point - Mid 1950's
This "found photo" is one of 1000's that I stumbled across at an estate sale. This is a great collection of travel photos from the 1950's and 1960's from across the globe.
The ruins of Fort Crown Point, built by the British in 1759 to secure the strategic Lake Champlain arrows against the French it is now a national historic landmark and part of the Crown Point Historic Site.
Here is another shot from Eastern Point. I am so glad I got to visit this area while I was back East. I never though the East would have a coast like I get out here, not sure why I thought that. Just means I will have to make some more trips out that way and see what else I can find.

To depict this room 2-point vertical perspective was used to partially open up, or unfurl, the space while keeping within the bounds of acceptable distortion. The two (primary) vanishing points are on a vertical line; if they are spaced too far apart any advantages of this perspective method are reduced.
The room's true verticals converge at the lower vanishing point; the horizontals that are directed away from the eye appear to approach infinity — which is the upper vanishing point. The room's horizontals (to the eye) are unaffected, and remain parallel.
In the absolute coordinate system of the room, the open door exists in its own rotated auxiliary co-ordinate system; in the perspective process the door also has two (secondary) vanishing points — which lie on a horizontal line (in the picture plane) that passes through the upper vanishing point of the room. The door's horizontals (at the top and bottom of it) converge at the auxiliary vanishing points on the Hz line through the upper absolute vanishing point. The verticals of the door behave exactly as those of the room – they converge to, or radiate about, the lower vanishing point.
The chair can be considered as being contained in a box-like orthogonal space; this box, which is turned to some arbitrary angle, has a (tertiary) pair of vanishing points that also lie on the Hz line through the upper vanishing point.
This vertical configuration of two vanishing points can give quite dramatic effects – for particular scenes where orthogonal objects have not been rotated about a vertical axis. Once any such rotation has occured (however small), as with the door or chair, then the auxiliary vanishing points flip to being on a horizontal line. Some of the pencil construction lines are intentionally left visible.
This sketch was done on one page of an A5 notebook — and the top and bottom (the primary pair) vanishing points are on the page. The picture has been cropped from the full page scan.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - It was an overcast day at Dana Point. This view is looking out from the Pirate Cave.
Over 400 capstone projects were featured today at the 20th annual Projects Day highlighting innovative designs linked to Army readiness, modernization and war-fighting capabilities at multiple locations at West Point. Since May 2000, Projects Day assembles cadets from the academy's military training and academic departments and students participating from nine colleges and two sister academies.

I went to Formby point on Sunday enroute to Crosby to look at the
Anthony Gormley statues, more of which later. We were just about to get in the car when I spied a couple of ladies taking photographs, I walked over and thought this fox was stuffed, it was literally 10 feet away from us. Apparently it is that used to humans it pretends to have a limp to gets food from passers by who feel sympathy for it...it has been doing this for four years!!!!.....it has even taught it's cubs to do this...amazing!!
The West Point Scoutmasters' Council hosts the 54th Annual West Point Camporee from April 29 to May 1. This year over 6,500 Scouts and parents participated in the event at Lake Frederick.
Back in the day, if you were traveling by train from the west to Manhattan, this is the point where you would now be traveling by water.
JimFlix gave me the idea to paddle the entire length of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Leg two of my mission started at the Empire Beach, and ended at the Point Betsie Light. The hot August sun, and the cold Lake Michigan water created hazy conditions that made the horizon nearly disappear.

On May 17, 1642, on a point of land at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and another, smaller river, Father Vimont held a mass celebrating the founding of Montréal, attended by Sieur de Maisonneuve, Jeanne Mance and their companions. On May 17, 1992, on the very same site, Pointe-à -Callière, the Montréal Museum of Archaeology and History, opened its doors.
Until the Museum opened, only historians knew about the "Pointe à Callière," so named because it was here that Chevalier Louis Hector de Callière, third governor of Montréal, had a home built in 1688. Today, the point has actually become part of the shoreline of the Island of Montréal, but its name lives on and is better known than ever, thanks to the Museum.
The Museum was founded as part of celebrations to mark Montréal’s 350th birthday, and owes its existence largely to the significant archaeological discoveries made on the site during the 1980s. In fact, the Museum and its site are inextricably linked. Rising above evidence of more than 1,000 years of human activity, it houses remarkable architectural remains, displayed in situ with absolute respect for their integrity. Pointe-à -Callière is the only sizeable archaeology museum in Canada. The hundreds of artifacts it houses are grouped into six main sections: the Éperon, a modern building that has won many architectural awards; the archaeological crypt on the lower level; the renovated Ancienne-Douane building (Montréal’s first Custom House), the Youville Pumping Station, the Archaeological Field School and the Mariners House. The museum of a site, a history and a city, Pointe-à -Callière delves into the past to foster a debate on urban issues both local and global, and to encourage visitors to reflect on the future.
The crumbling remains of Boddin Point lime kiln is long overdue its collapse into the sea. The old fishing boats mirror its forgotten working past.
