All the pages for the " Entry Point" booklet. We've ordered them as individual 4x6 postcards with round corners and brought them to a local printing company (Concord Printing - thanks Ben!) to drill a hole (where the metal ring will be inserted). After this process we got lots of help from church volunteers to assemble 500 of them.
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.

Up front, let me point out that this is private property that involves really big dogs and landowners with guns... soooo, if you don’t have permission don’t go.
I’m adding these photos in support of Chris Oliver’s effort to document this historic area of Rockwood, Tennessee. His photos can be found at: www.flickr.com/photos/78994628@N02/sets/72157639933618356/
The following description was taken from wiki:
"Roane Iron Company
The Roane Iron Company furnace site at the end of Rockwood Street; the small building on the left is all that remains of the once vast iron works
The company mined coal and iron ore along the ridge, which it transported by narrow-gauge rail to the furnace site. The coal was delivered to coking ovens, where it was converted into coke, and the coke was then used to generate the temperatures needed to convert the iron ore into pig iron."
More info can be found in the "set description", or by Googling "Roane Iron Company".

"A much-photographed Tomales Bay icon, the derelict fishing boat the Point Reyes, was severely damaged by a mysterious fire early Monday morning, and comments from angry Inverness residents are burning up social media over the loss of this beloved local landmark."

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.

An old granite quarry is now filled with (fresh) water at the North East corner of Cape Ann, Halibut Point. The rocks in the center slope gently on the other side to the Atlantic Ocean, and on the horizon if you zoom in, you can see the coasts of New Hampshire and Maine.
