The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California coast.
A lighthouse on Point Arena has served mariners since 1870.
This lighthouse entered service in 1908, replacing the original 1870 light which was damaged beyond repair in the Great Quake of 1906. While the 1906 quake is usually associated with San Francisco, the epicenter was very close to Point Arena, as the San Andreas Fault runs just east of the lighthouse.
This lighthouse was built of reinforced concrete by a company that specialized in the construction if smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
The Point Pinos Lighthouse, Pacific Grove, California.
It's been here doing its job since 1855, which makes it the oldest continuous operating lighthouse on the U.S. West Coast.
( if you guys at the lighthouse are looking for your ladder, it's up on the lantern room deck )

On a cold grey Mid September day these huts were closed here at Ingoldmells Point, when I was a kid and we had a caravan near here I just called it the Point, its changed a hell of a lot in the 25 years since we got rid of our caravan.
Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago — long before Death Valley came into existence. The name Zabriskie comes from Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, who in the early 20th century was the vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company, whose famous twenty mule teams were used to transport borax from the company's mining operations in Death Valley.

Panorama Point is a small viewpoint located outside of Hood River. It was built by the BPA, which explains why the most prominent feature of the viewpoint is the giant high-voltage tower that's built directly into the viewing structure.
I’m standing at the halfway point where I stop while on my morning walk. It’s every bit of a half mile from home. I’m a sucker for gates and this one is at the place where I would see my old friend Chewy, the llama. Chewy died a couple of years ago and I sure miss seeing his furry face. He always stopped to look at me whenever I went by and stopped. It was his way of recognizing me. As I turned to the southeast I caught sight of this view of the tree with the sun rising behind it. This time of year the sun tilts on its axis. Two months ago I wouldn’t have gotten this shot…….. by the way, there’s a buzzard sitting on a branch on the upper right watching me. I was about 100 yards from this point and saw them take flight and leave their roost. By the time I got to the top of the hill this one had decided he wanted to check me out. There was another hanging near by. I know what they were saying to another. They were saying “That ol’ geezer just walked a half mile uphill and downhill and he looks tuckered out! Let’s keep an eye on him, he might just keel over and we’ll get first dibs!” …… fooled them though. Maybe next time, guys.

Working on that driver's license. Here they were trying the art of parking. It took her a while and I think they will have to try one more time. This is what you can see while enjoying coffee at Malmens Konditori.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources dedicated a half-mile trail loop at North Point State Park in honor of a former public servant and avid bicyclist, Steven L. Kreseski.
A native and resident of Baltimore City, Kreseski served three years as chief of staff for former Governor Robert Ehrlich Jr. and was his legislative director on Capitol Hill from 1995 to 2003. Kreseski passed away in 2015 at the age of 58 from pulmonary fibrosis, a hereditary lung disease.
Peggys Point Lighthouse is in Peggys Cove and is an iconic Canadian image. The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay.
Point Barrow, on a spit of land nine miles northeast of Barrow is the most northern point in North America - as far north as you can get and keep your feet dry. Whale bones and bones of other animals litter the beach.
Point Barrow was once the village of Nunvuk, perhaps at one point a community of 1000. But the village disapeared over a hundred years ago. Archeologists are now attempting to recovered bodies of the ancient inhabitants, which are now becoming exposed due to the land being washed away.
The only way to get to Point Barrow is my ATV "four wheeler" or other al terrain vehicle, or my snowmobile in the winter.

Iceberg Point, Lopez Island, Washington State, USA

Jurassic to Early Cretaceous
"Rocks here are interbedded sandstone and mudstone (shale) in the Lopez Structural Complex. The complex is a a major thrust fault zone that runs roughly east-west and includes the southern edge of Lopez Island and the north tip of Cattle Point over on San Juan Island. The 2.5 km wide thrust zone includes a variety of oceanic rocks that were brought together during subduction of the Farallon Plate (the Juan de Fuca plate is a remnant of the Farallon) between 110-80 million years ago. The rocks are believed to be Jurassic to Early Cretaceous (perhaps 150-100 million years old)."
"At Iceberg Point, the rocks are blocks of meta-sandstone within a broad zone of parallel shear structures."
"swarms of more or less parallel white quartz veins. These generally crosscut the shear fractures at various angles"
