To me this rock looks like the profile of a Hamadryas Baboon. This is a rocky headland near Rockingham, Western Australia
Point Arena Lighthouse is perhaps the most breath taking lighthouse along the California coast. The tallest of the lighthouses in California, its location along the Mendocino County Coastline is also the closest to the Hawaiian Islands --not that it means anything--it's just a fun fact. Usually there is healthy blanket of fog draped along the coast during the spring months. I was lucky on this early spring morning to catch this venerable old lighthouse aglow with the radiant light of a brand new day.

One from last year, which seems a long time ago now. This is the point between Little Salmon and Salmon Bay where a pair of sea eagles next on the sea stack at Rottnest Island.
Pan Am Railways' Plainville, CT turn jobs EDPL and its' counterpart PLED were tough to get, as they were mostly a night time operation. During the summer of 2015, early morning northbound runs on the Springfield Line were becoming common. On this clear July 24, 2015 PLED had a pair of CT assigned EMD GP40's 350-352 leading the way, shown here crossing the Connecticut River at Warehouse point, just north of Windsor Locks, CT.
Another shot of Beckley Point in Plymouth, taken on an evening out with Jay Stone.
Beckley Point is Plymouth's newest student accommodation tower block and at 23 floors it's the tallest building in the South West. A lot of local people think it looks ugly and is a blot on the landscape, but at night I think it looks pretty cool.
I do like doing night time photography, I don't do enough of it but I think we're quite limited in Plymouth. We don't have lots of lit up buildings and futuristic looking skyscrapers like they do in London, so once you've shot an area here at night there aren't really many options left.

Nash Point has claimed many ships , as Nash sands necessitates ships from Swansea and west Wales having to go through a narrow passage close to this headland. the two lighthouses at Nash guide marine traffic through this passage, but there've still been lots of wrecks in this area. Shipbuilding is by Robert Wyatt on my playlist. More linocuts today.
Zabriskie Point composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.

There is a point when you cannot walk away
When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the word you say
There is a point you must decide, just to do it 'cause it's right
That's when you become a point of light
There is a darkness that everyone must face
It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste
And that darkness covers everything in sight
Until it meets a single point of light
For the first time in over twenty years we took a trip to Spurn Point yesterday. A good deal has changed in the interim period. For one the road from the visitor centre top the lighthouse has been washed away, so unless you are lucky enough to take one off the paid "Unimog" trips the only means of access is an eight mile return walk. What. pleasure that was and for me the highlight was a walk through a wild flower meadow where much of the bird life seemed to be concentrated. This photo of a Meadow Pipit was taken there.
Although the Meadow Pipit is still a numerous bird in the UK it is declining in numbers. Having spoken yesterday with a local warden he advised that a the main reason was the lack of insects that are a key component of the birds diet. The biggest threats are that of intensive agriculture and pollution in the forms of pesticides and fertilisers
The Anvil Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located near Swanage in Dorset, southern England. The lighthouse is built of local stone and was completed in 1881. It was opened by Neville Chamberlain's father, then Minister of Transport. The lighthouse tower is twelve metres tall, the height of the light above the high-water mark is 45 m (148 ft). The light is positioned to give a waypoint for vessels passing along the English Channel coast.

Montana Rail Link's nightly LAUBOZ-20 rolls by the pair of abandoned grain elevators, at Reed Point on 10/20/2022.
LAUBOZ was one of the cooler trains on MRL, being high priority and often lead by a pair of SD40-2XR's, the train would make good time out of Laurel in perfect lighting.
However, the job would be cut after the Twin Bridges derailment/collapse and the traffic lumped onto the ML and LM. BNSF did revive the job, however I am not certain if its still around or not.
