Zabriskie Point composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
Zabriskie Point was used as surface of Mars in the film Robinson Crusoe on Mars; The Joshua Tree. Zabriskie Point is also the name of a 1970 movie by Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni; its soundtrack features music by British band Pink Floyd and Jerry Garcia.
Neist Point, Duirinish, Isle of Skye: the most westerly extremity of the island.
This view is just as big a cliché as Elgol and is, almost always, crawling with photographers around sunset. Just to make my attempt slightly different, I used the NDx1000 filter to get a long enough exposure to smooth out the sea.

The bench there on the rocks is used by many fishermen ... and fisherwomen as well.
Happy Bench Monday from along the Chesapeake Bay.
The trigonometry point on the tower here marks the highest point on Slieve Donard and the highest point in the whole of Northern Ireland. Fantastic views! This side of the tower and wall were covered with frost but the other side was clear.
For a photo story of my hike up Slieve Donard:

Hope the group doesn't mind me uploading this image which was taken early morning whilst on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Thought the people in the distance looked like they were returning from the lost world.
Point Iroquois Light is a lighthouse on a Chippewa County bluff in the U.S. state of Michigan. Point Iroquois and its light mark the division line between Whitefish Bay and the western end of the St. Marys River, the connection between Lake Superior and other Great Lakes.
Yesterday afternoon myself and my friend Carl drove up to Start Point Lighthouse near Kingsbridge in Devon. We were hoping for a decent sunset and it was looking pretty good when we got there. The lighthouse points east so normally people come here for sunrise shots. We had a lovely bit of side light from the afternoon sun which gave of a nice contrast with the shadows on the lower part of the coastline. This shot was taken at about 15:30 just after we arrived. I took quite a few photos here so I'll try not to spam you with too many of them!
There is a point when you cannot walk away
When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the word you say
There is a point you must decide, just to do it 'cause it's right
That's when you become a point of light
There is a darkness that everyone must face
It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste
And that darkness covers everything in sight
Until it meets a single point of light

Le Point Sublime est l'un des points de vue les plus beaux sur les Gorges du Verdon. Ce point de vue se trouve sur la rive droite, en dessous du village de Rougon, situé dans le département des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence et la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Steam emanating from the Ormond Beach Generating Station frames the setting sun over Port Hueneme this afternoon.
Sunset over Point Reyes Beach South. Taken from near the Point Reyes Lighthouse as the crowds of tourists headed home for the night.
The lighthouse is shining in the fog, even in the middle of the day. I could see its flash from 2 miles away. Its full range is 18 nautical miles.
The original lighthouse, built in 1855, was positioned too high at 306 feet above sea level and could not be seen through the dense high San Francisco fog, so it was moved to its current location at 124 feet above sea level in 1877. To access the new site, a 118-foot long tunnel was hand carved through hard rock. It is the only lighthouse in the U.S. that can only be reached by a suspension bridge.
… I’m assuming as this is alongside the Helford river in Cornwall that the ‘Point’ is reference to Sailing and not the points on the gate!! BTW, they are both Holiday Lets (Point & Pointside - at a price too I guess). Either way I was attracted to the nicely hand painted sign on the gate. Alan:-)

My first morning in Utah last week, I went exploring on my own to Dead Horse Point State Park. The view was spectacular and enjoyed greeting the day there.

Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park, California. This erosional landscape is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up five million years ago, long before Death Valley came into existence.

Toward Point is the southern extremity of the Cowal Peninsula, near the village of Toward and six miles south of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. There has been a lighthouse here since 1812. The location is the south-west extreme point of the Highland Boundary Fault as it crosses the Scottish mainland. Toward Point Lighthouse was completed in 1812. It was built by Robert Stevenson (1772–1850) for the Cumbrae Lighthouse Trust. Two lighthouse keepers' houses were added in the later 1800s. A white building on the foreshore housed the foghorn mechanism, originally a steam engine and then diesel engines. The foghorn was taken out of operation in the 1990s. Today the buildings are a private home and not open to the public.
