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.

One of my several sightings of bobcat at Point Reyes National Seashore - this one with guide Daniel of Point Reyes Wildlife Safaris.
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.
This is an 8 image stitched panoramic from Bartle Scout Camp in Missouri-This look out is called The Point
Watching the waves break at Penmon Point on a moody day. The light was just enough to highlight the waves surrounding the lighthouse.
Another fabulous day out with the FFF+ Lots of shots were taken and I need to sort through them all still!
Super high-contrast / harsh light scenes can be considered almost unphotographable with a normal camera, but something about infrared seems to reveal hidden warmth.
The building was a gift from King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and took two years to build at a cost of around £5 million. It was officially inaugurated on 8 August 1997. When the building was opened there were over sixty limousines and impressive security measures.
It is the southernmost mosque in continental Europe, and is one of the largest mosques in a non-Muslim country. (wiki)
Many thanks to Dorota for this information. :-))
Ezekiel 21:15 “I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.”
Plage du restaurant l'Escale.
Le lac Saint-Point, connu anciennement sous le nom de lac de Dampvauthier, fait partie des plus grands lacs naturels de France par sa superficie. Il se situe dans le département du Doubs, au sein du massif du Jura, à une quinzaine de kilomètres de la ville de Pontarlier.
Early morning walk, at this time of year the sun rises behind the lighthouse when viewed from the headland at Amlwch.
We made our way down to Carnsore Point Sunday to capture the night skies around the ruin of St Vogues Church. It was nice to see the skies clearing to reveal a view Comet Neowise and a shot here at 3.45am
Another road shot from Georgia (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49104292301/in/datepo...), although here we stepped out, and spend an hour or so to view this!
This probably is the most spectacular road pass that I saw in my whole life. The Gudauri pass is on the way to Kasbegi (more to come on that area later), but it was not an easy shot to make.
It took me awhile to figure out how to get rid of the sun that was getting into my lens, and the rather flat light that I saw on my finder.
I finally made an HDR composition (three shots with different light settings) and in 35 mm .The rest I did at home. The result is more a less how I saw it in real. The red in the mountain that is in the back came back to life.
Two months ago I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
Point of Ayr Lighthouse, which I am sure leans to one side a little is located near the village of Talacre, Flintshire, North Coast of Wales/ When this was taken a while back, it was in need of a coat of paint. It is a Grade II Listed building.
The classic view of Gloucester's Eastern Point Lighthouse, overdue for a paint job, in less than classic weather. If almost everyone shoots this scene from the same point of view, it is because the breakwater is only about five feet (1.5 meters) wide on top, though it is just over 4/10 mile (almost 0.7 km) long. That large stone standing above the wall in the foreground was lifted at some point by wave action, most likely at a time nobody was there to watch.
Sunderland Point is a small village in the marshland to the south of Lancaster that lies on a windswept peninsula between the River Lune and Morecambe Bay. It was originally a port for cotton and other ships, but its use declined as other nearby ports opened up.

Neist Point is a viewpoint on the most westerly point of Skye. Neist Point Lighthouse has been located there since 1909.
Neist Point is the most westerly point on the Duirinish peninsula on the Isle of Skye. It projects into The Minch and provides a walk and viewpoint.
Basalt at Neist Point is very similar to that at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. A steep path leads down from the road. Whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking shark can be seen from the point. Common seabirds include gannets, black guillemots, razorbills and European shags. Several rare plants, including saxifrages are found on the point.

In my opinion, this is the best overlook in America. By this time of the morning, the canyon wall were catching enough sun to reflect in the river below.
