Another view of Brant Point, because I figured what is one more photo to the millions already out there? That and I waited a minute or so for the sail boat to be where I wanted it to be and I'd hate to have done that in vain :).
Potts Point war erst ein Landsitz, wurde dann nach und nach aufgeteilt und besiedelt und schließlich entstanden hier in den 20er Jahren mit die ersten Wohnblöcke Australiens. Die Folge ist die höchste Konzentration von Art-Déco-Architektur in Australien. Nett.

Needed something to brighten up my mothers day and the late afternoon clouds looked promising so I headed down to Picnic Point to shoot sunset. It wasnt as good as I hoped but I was glad there was some color and clouds.

Although it was cold and windy, the beautiful shoreline definitely had downplayed the weather effects.
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 ;)

The starting point... A friend was working with Lego, and I could not resist grabbing a few plates and building a little aircraft... This was still fun!
A fisherman relaxes at North Point in Barbados. I guess actually catching a fish would be a bonus.
I understand that sometimes you can actually see migrating whales from this vantage point....I wasn't so lucky, maybe next time.....Right Anton?
Lunar New Year Fair at the plaza of Chinatown Point, Upper Cross Street for the Chinese New Year 2017 Festival celebrations.
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.
Signal Point was built in 1972 replacing the old station. Formerly Network Rail offices, a number of windows are now boarded up and the building lays empty. Swindon Railway Station is at the bottom and the building still has a huge BR double arrow.

Point of Ayr lighthouse at Talacre beach ...
Point of Ayr gives its name to a lighthouse, built in 1776, though inactive since 1844. It stands on Talacre beach at the entrance to the River Dee estuary.
The lighthouse once displayed two lights. The main beam at 63 feet shone seaward towards Llandudno. A secondary beam shone up the River Dee towards the hamlet of Dawpool in Cheshire on the English side of the estuary.
Whilst in service the lighthouse was painted with red and white stripes and had a red lantern housing.
