Situated at the mouth of the Golden Gate, Point Bonita Lighthouse sits 124 feet above sea level. Activated in 1855 and now part of the Golden Gate Recreation Area, the lighthouse still serves as an active navigation aid. Its original second-order Fresnel lens remains in place and is operational.
The original Point Bonita light was built higher up on the bluffs (306 ft. above sea level) in the left of this photograph. Because the dense high fog on the West Coast often left the original light cloaked in fog it was decided, in 1877, to move its location to the current site which is only 124 ft. above seal level. This was a tricky engineering feat because it required flattening a rock, digging a tunnel 118 ft. long, and stretching a narrow rock bridge across a chasm to reach the rock. The rock bridge was later replaced with a suspension bridge (patterned after the Golden Gate Bridge) giving Point Bonita the distinction of being the only lighthouse in America that must be reached by crossing a suspension bridge. A portion of the bridge can be seen in this photograph to the left of the lighthouse.
This photo was taken, with a 500mm Tamron telephoto lens, from the parking lot at the west end of Conzelman Road looking south towards the lighthouse
Dora GarcÃa’s contribution consisted in pointing out the wealth of information and the activities programmed by the Freudian Field Library, founded in 1977 by Argentinean Oscar Masotta (1930–1979), considering the site as a knot which ties together art, psychoanalysis and literature. A display of publications drew from the library shelves and three conversations activated the space over three consecutive days. The first talk, a ‘solo’ by GarcÃa, focussed on the library’s holdings of literary fiction. The second, a conversation, involved several psychoanalysts who discussed the founding of the library and its ongoing role in Barcelona, and the final event was a talk around the figures of James Joyce and Jacques Lacan. The events were live-streamed on Periscope and the video and audio files can be accessed via the video and audio icons of each talk in the sidebar on this page.

‘Composiciones’ is a a programme of five interventions specially commissioned for the first Barcelona Gallery Weekend, 1–4 October 2015. The programme complimented the existing calendar of exhibitions by presenting the work of artists active in the Barcelona art scene whose interventions responded to singular locations – public and private sites significant for their architecture, activity or their history.
‘Composiciones’ unfolded through temporary interventions at different speeds and rhythms and one-off events outside of Barcelona's contemporary art circuit – including a private psychoanalytic library, a former ceramics factory and a botanical collection. Pinpointing some lesser-known aspects of the city's cultural history and municipal life, ‘Composiciones’ offered moments of interruption, intimacy and immersion throughout the weekend.
Projects by David Bestué (at the Factory complex Cosme Toda, L'Hospitalet); Dora GarcÃa (at the Biblioteca del Campo Freudiano); Jordi Mitjà (at the Museu Geològic del Seminari de Barcelona); Rasmus Nilausen in collaboration with Pere Llobera (at the gardens of La Central bookstore, Raval); and Daniel Steegmann Magrané (at the Umbracle, Parc de la Ciutadella).

This was one of the most amazing light displays I have ever seen, I've actually toned down the colour in this image.

Point Cabrillo has the most complete light station in America. The Third Order Fresnel Lens was lit for the first time on June 10, 1909 and continues to operate today as a federal aid to navigation. It is maintained by U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary unit 87. The lighthouse is located in the 300-acre Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park.

Our long drive up to Whitefish Point was a bust. We sat in the car to wait for the rain to let up so when it did we took a chance. It didn't last long, just as we got to the beach, it began to pour. I did have an umbrella with us but we still got soaked, our feet, our pants...and my backpack that my camera gear is in. I wasn't very happy about that. A couple of lenses has some dampness on the caps but that was all. Couldn't use the backpack for a day so just had the lenses hanging out on a beach towel in the back seat.

About Point Roberts:
Point Roberts, Washington is a mix of down home, small town charm and International consciousness. Only 20 minutes from Vancouver International airport and not much longer from downtown Vancouver, BC. Many full-time residents are consultants, inventors, scientists, writers, artists and virtual business owners who enjoy the natural beauty, peace and relaxed pace in between global travels.
A geopolitical oddity, Point Roberts is a part of the United States that is not physically connected to it, making it a pene-exclave of the U.S. It is located on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Delta, British Columbia, Canada, and can be reached by land from the rest of the United States only by traveling through Canada. It can be reached directly from the rest of Washington and the U.S. by crossing Boundary Bay by sea or air.
Fresh air, miles of trails through ancient forests, miles of natural beaches, ocean kayaking, sailing, biking, hiking, photography and sighting the thriving eagle community and visits from J-Pod Orca whales can be enjoyed by everyone.
Organic gardening is a big deal at the Point Roberts Garden Club which has an annual tour that showcases a breathtaking array of gardens. Their site has "must see" pictures of previous tours and funds raised each year go towards community beautification projects.
