Boat at Sunderland Point. Filters used to help with exposure. Image possibly to be used as part of a college project
We encountered the set up of a check point last night on our way home. It was an impressive show with the lights, the cars in formation, and the table full of Popeye's chicken for the police officers.
This boat looked like it had been someone's home at some point - very sad and neglected now!

Today Sean and I went down to Big Sur.....on our way down the coast our first stop was Point Lobos State Park....we walked a couple of the trails....I think I could easily spend whole day there....when we first arrived there was quite a bit of morning fog...but during our time on the second trail, the fog lifted....I think I must have uttered the words beautiful and gorgeous hundreds of times today....
The above is another collaboration...photo by me, post processing by Sean. (thanks Sean!)
Taken in Point Lobos State Park, California
Penguin Point is an exhibit inhabited by African penguins (,em>Spheniscus demersus). Though most people are familiar with the penguin species native to Antarctica, these are native to South Africa and Namibia.
Cattle Point Lighthouse stands on the southern tip of San Juan Island in northwestern Washington.
The 1846 Treaty of Oregon signed by The United States and Great Britain wasn't exactly clear as to ownership of San Juan Island, as a result the island was claimed by both parties. In 1859, the U.S. and Great Britain nearly went to war here because of a dispute over of all things a pig, until cooler heads prevailed.
Cattle Point, site of an early Hudson Bay Company sheep and cattle operation, derived its name in 1857 after a transport ship ran aground nearby, forcing its cargo of cattle to swim ashore.
This lighthouse was built in 1935.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
Point Lobos State Reserve, CA
The orange, velvety "stuff" especially noticeable on trees and rocks of the shadowed north-facing slopes is green algae. Its orange color comes from carotene, a pigment which also occurs in carrots. The plant does not harm the trees.
This is a shot I hadn't got around to from a recent night photography workshop I too in San Francisco. Seems there was a moonlight tour of the Point Bonita Lighthouse this night and access (which is normally denied and blocked by a tunnel and iron gate) to the bridge out to the light was open.
The moon had not quite risen yet so I snapped a few "for fun shots" while waiting. I love shooting slihouettes at desk into the sunset. The trails that appear and disappear into the setting pinks and oranges is a neat phenomenon to me.
The bridge here leads out over the water...a rocky craggy surf crashing below it. This light house has been around for quite some time. It has aided thousands of ships into San Francisco Bay. Inspite of its helpfulness over 150 ships have still sunk and been crushed against the nasty rocks leading into the bay.
This was taken @:
f/8
120 secs
ISO 100
Focal Length: 17mm (Canon 17-40 L)
I know it doesn't look too perpendicular with the lens distortion in this shot but it's quite beautiful and unique.... a little fortress against the elements.

Chanonry Point is [4] one of the best spots in the UK to view Bottlenose dolphin Tursiops truncatus from the land. The dolphins are often visible off Chanonry point, particularly on an incoming tide when they play and fish in the strong currents. Other wildlife, including porpoises and grey seals, can also regularly be spotted. European otters Lutra lutra are occasional visitors.
Point Richmond is a nice little quaint area in Richmond ca, it almost feels like a small north east town in maine or mass.
