Point Bonita Lighthouse is a lighthouse located at Point Bonita at the San Francisco Bay entrance in the Marin Headlands near Sausalito, California. Point Bonita was the last manned lighthouse on the California coast.
The southernmost point in continental Asia is across the bridge. I found this amuzing, since both Sentosa and Singapore are islands.
Helene enjoying the view of the Sognefjord. Shot on Day 28 of project 365. About 10 meters from the point I shot day 28 to the right.
Have to admit that Flickr is kind of addicting. There is lots of rubbish there but also some amazing high quality photography. It’s way to easy to get lost for several hours ;)

Zabriskie Point, Death Valley National Park, California; late spring, sunrise; winter is probably the best season for this photo; also perhaps should have stood further to the right, so the peak is not lost in the shadow behind

School children in the Body Worlds exhibition at the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia. The controversial exhibition of preserved human cadavers and embryos caused a storm of protest in the States but continues to attract busloads of people each weekday. Anatomist Gunther von Hagens aggressively defends his plastination technique through copyright suits and his stance means visitors who pay to see the exhibition cannot use cameras or cell phones while touring the exhibition space.
Centre Point was built as speculative office space by property tycoon Harry Hyams, who had leased the site at £18,500 a year for 150 years. Hyams and Seifert engaged in negotiations with the London County Council over the height of the building, which was much taller than would normally be allowed and was highly controversial; eventually he was allowed to build 32 floors in return for providing a new road junction between St Giles Circus, Oxford Street and Tottenham Court Road, which the LCC could not afford to build on its own. Hyams intended that the whole building be occupied by a single tenant.
On completion, the building remained empty for many years. With property prices rising and most business tenancies taken for set periods of 10 or 15 years, Hyams could afford to keep it empty and wait for his single tenant at the asking price of £1,250,000; he was challenged to allow tenants to rent single floors but consistently refused. The prominent nature of the building led to it becoming a symbol of greed in the property industry. Some campaigners demanded that the government of Edward Heath should intervene and take over the building, and at one point in June 1972 Peter Walker (then Secretary of State for the Environment) offered £5 million for the building. Eventually Hyams agreed to let the building by floors but the arrangements were stalled.
A more intriguing speculation was that the government was paying Hyams "a heavy but secret subsidy to keep it empty" for its own purposes. Various conspiracy theories circulated about what those purposes might be. One common theme was that since the building was 100% air-conditioned (a rarity in London at that time), and sited over Tottenham Court Road tube station and its deep tube lines, this would somehow make it useful to the government in the event of nuclear war.
Since July 1980, the building has been the headquarters of the Confederation of British Industry. In 1995 Centre Point became a Grade II listed building. Noted architecture critic Nikolaus Pevsner described Centre Point as "coarse in the extreme". In 2009, the building won the Concrete Society's Mature Structures Award.

A cat I've seen around lately. Pretty but I always hate to see cats running loose, especially in the street. Anyway, this one's really pretty. I thin this color is tabby point, but feel free to correct me.
U.S. Military Academy Cadets, faculty, staff and community members observe a U.S. Army capabilities exercise at West Point, New York, on August 28, 2025. The exercise served as the culminating event of the academy's branch week during which cadets had the opportunity to explore and learn about the various branches they will eventually commission into.

Treacherous boulders, slippery with seaweed form a rocky beach extending 1km around the headland at Copt Point in Folkestone. This rocky and challenging terrain is the result of the eroding cliff face. The area has become rich in a wide range of brachiopods, bivalves and gastropods. Crinoids and belemnites are also commonly found. These fossils, unearthed from the fragile crumbling cliffs date back to the Cretaceous era (110-80 million years ago) and draw many visitors. This rocky shoreline is where I took the photos used in this HDR image.
HDR stands for High Dynamic Range.
It’s a term used to describe a way to ‘digitally develop’ your photos using the tonal information contained in multiple exposures of the same shot. Combining a normal shot with a slightly underexposed shot and a slightly overexposed shot ensure that you have a good amount of detail in both the shadows and the highlights. A little creative post processing using photoshop can enhance the image and add some atmosphere.
