East Point Lighthouse - Built in 1867 and still in operation today. Standing 64' tall, it is known as Canada's Confederation Lighthouse. It was an overcast day during our visit. You can see more of my work at RandyRobertsPhotography.com
I tried microclicks with a Holga at Ft. Zachary Taylor in Key West, Florida. Afterward I took a shot of the southernmost point in the United States.
This was the first time I've done any microclick exposures and I was handholding the camera. The film is Lomography Redscale.
Nash Point Lighthouse was designed and built by
Joseph Nelson being completed in 1832 to mark the
hazardous sandbanks off Nash Point, overlooking
the Bristol Channel. This followed the wrecking of
the passenger steamer Frolic on these sands in 1831,
with a heavy loss of life.
Two circular towers were built, each with massive walls and
a stone gallery. The eastern, or high lighthouse being 37
metres high and the western or low lighthouse 25 metres
high. Placed 302 metres apart they provided leading lights
to indicate safe passage past the sandbanks. The high
light was painted with black and white stripes and the low
light was white. In those days both towers showed a fixed
light which was either red or white depending on the
direction from which a vessel approached. The red sector
marked the Nash Sands.
The low light was abandoned circa 1925 and the high
light was modernised and painted white. In place of the
fixed light a new first order catadioptric lens was installed
which gave a white and red group flashing, this was
removed in the automation of the station and replaced
with a rotating optic. Nash Point Lighthouse was the last
manned lighthouse in Wales. It was automated in 1998
with the keepers leaving for the last time on the 5 August.
The lighthouse is now monitored and controlled from the
Planning Centre at Trinity House in Harwich, Essex.

I would have loved to have got a bit closer to these boats. Unfortunately, there are signs saying beware of quicksand - I felt it wise to be careful!! 8)
(L to R): Lucy and Thomas (Phoebe's parents). Amy (Ruby and Sam's mom). I met these lovely people through the Montessori and Gordon Schools. It's nice to finally have friends like me nearby.
to end a long weekend of keeping busy, my buddy Simon and I drove to Point Dume and Mugu Rock for some good photo exploration of seascapes, this is the "point" in Point Dume

Point Dume, a long bluff, forms the northern end of the Santa Monica Bay, and Point Dume Headlands Park affords a vista of the Palos Verdes Peninsula and Santa Catalina Island.

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.
Point Betsie Lighthouse (Michigan, USA) was established in 1858 as a round/integral brick structure with attached quarters. The light is still active and stands 37 feet tall. The Coast Guard used Point Betsie as a residence until 1996. The light was finally automated as of 1983.

Nugget Point is one of the most iconic landforms on the Otago coast. You'll find many seabirds, including penguins, gannets and spoonbills, and a large breeding colony of fur seals. At the tip there is a lighthouse surrounded by rocky islets - The Nuggets. Awesome place to be.
These were taken in Freshwater Carbonear. Such a quiet place; but, today you could hear the sea has the waves hit the shore...
