There are a plethora of paths across Heyshott Common so it pays to have your wits about you when finding the right route
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!!
Point Reyes Lighthouse perched above the Pacific Ocean. It's a short half mile hike to the lighthouse overlook from the parking lot and then 300 steps down to the lighthouse. Which means its 300 steps back up!

Road trip southwest USA 2014
Day 6 : I stayed quite late photographing Monument Valley by night. What was planned was sleeping in my SUV near Muley Point. But I found a cheap motel in Mexican Hat (38$ the night), so I slept in a warm bed and took a good shower the following day. That was worth it! I was in perfect shape to start a new day, especially I had 2 parks in the agenda : Arches and Canyonlands!

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.

Traveling on the PA Turnpike, saw the full moon in and out of the clouds, waited, clicked just as we were passing a sound barrier wall which fills the bottom of the frame. The top wedge is the car window frame.
Marshall Point Lighthouse, seen from the ferry, returning to Port Clyde, Maine, USA from Mohegan Island on September 23, 2015. I had seen this light from the shore, in the past, but not from the sea side.
after driving two hours north of san francisco, almost 60 miles of long, narrow, winding road, over cliffs and valleys, the driveway to this lighthouse was already closed when i got there. i walked a quarter mile to get to the front of the steps only to find that the steps leading to the lighthouse itself is closed too. worst of all i didnt bring my 70-300 lens, never expecting that theres a gate that is that far to the lighthouse.
point reyes lighthouse as described in several travel books, is the foggiest and coldest part of the california coast, that getting a clear view such as this is rare. i guess that was the one big consolation for me.
Because we booked our holiday with Virgin Holidays we were entitled to an early entry to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. But because Universal had extended their opening hours, our early entry time was pushed back to 7am. An early start for sure, but worth it to see the sun rise over the snowy roofs of Hogsmeade. Unfortunately we were too busy running between shops and rides to get everything done before the crowds swarmed in to take any decent photos (all the photos I took are nothing but snapshots). By the time we slowed down and I took the time to take some decent shots, the crowds were in and we were ready to move on. This is one of the only ones I was in any way happy with.
All worth it though, to be able to experience the whole land with minimal waits and crowds.

Some time ago I was hired to handle a shoot for the folks of Silo Point. They had 5 furnished models they wanted photographed for sales needs. These are a couple of the more "candid" shots of those units, edited in an appropriately stylized fashion.
The property itself was built out of the shell of what used to be Baltimore's old B&O Grain Elevator, a popular abandonment of maybe a decade ago. While I typically decry the deaths of such gorgeous industrial structures, the way this particular one was rejuvenated into such a spectacular building is amazing. Aside from the spaces themselves being gorgeously well developed and furnished, the heritage of the building's history was well maintained in the retention of much of the original concrete infrastructure and use of old gears and ironwork being fashioned into the aesthetic appeal of the building.
Certainly looking forward to working with these folks again. What they achieved with the landmark is nothing short of incredible.

This is a better view of the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse than the previous one, which also includes the Straits Bridge; this is from the opposite (water) side. The house here is one of the more elaborate, or impressive, keeper's houses. (This photo replaces an earlier one, also taken from this side.)
The Mackinac Point Lighthouse was added to the Natilonal Register of Historic Places in 1969.
Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are joined by the Straits of Mackinac; however, a sign near the bridge indicates that the lighthouse is located on the Huron side, so I have counted this as a Lake Huron lighthouse. The Michigan Lighthouse Conservancy lists Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse as a Lake Huron lighthouse, as well.
