Not my favorite photo ever, but I thought a pretty good example of a vanishing point, or perspective. :)
The Point Cabrillo Lighthouse stands on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.
This lighthouse and its Third Order Fresnel lens have served as an active aid to maritime navigation since its lamp was first lit on June 10, 1909 - 110 years to the day before this picture was taken.
According to the nautical charts, its light flashes six times every minute, and is visible twenty-two miles out to sea.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.

Vanishing Point on Tiengemeten.
Tiengemeten is an island in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Korendijk, and lies about 11 km south of Spijkenisse.
On 10 May 2007, the island was officially given back to nature; its farming inhabitants were relocated and nature has been allowed to work its way undisturbed. New nature reserves are rare in the Netherlands, and since its return to nature, Tiengemeten has become a real wilderness with trackless terrain, flowing creeks and gullies, meadows full of flowers and huge populations of migrating birds, including ospreys and egrets. Some of the marshy pastures are grazed by Highland cattle and other hardy animals. The island has cycle paths and tracks, and also a large earthwork which serves well as an elevated outlook post for birdspotters. Tiengemeten is free of cars and accessible only by water via a small pedestrian- and bike-friendly ferry which runs regularly on the ten-minute crossing between the small port at Nieuwendijk and the island. Alternatively, bikes can be hired on the island, particularly during the summer months. There is ample free car parking at the ferry terminal. Once on the island, Margerita Farm is a short walk from where passengers alight from the ferry, and holds an information centre, gallery space, café and toilets. Walking tours are available, and volunteers are on hand to answer questions. There are regular special nature-related events on the island; biodiversity surveys, open days and special tours. Notices are posted in local press and on websites.

Views of Long Point Lighthouse from the Provincetown waterfront. These views are looking slightly East of South from Fanizzi's Restaurant. The sun was setting and I am zoomed in as much as I could.
(I didn't have my long lens in the restaurant - These are highly cropped, but I'm keeping for the light and color!)

Point Reyes (about 30 miles from San Francisco) is final frontier of land before the Pacific. It juts out about 15 miles from California coastline and is the windiest place on the Pacific coast. It was the first time, I saw the great Pacific and stood admiring the calm ocean.
Lighthouse at point reyes can be seen in the backdrop.

This is the most westerly point on Skye. Skye or the Isle of Skye, is the largest and most northerly island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate out from a mountainous centre dominated by the Cuillin hills. Although it has been suggested that the first of these Gaelic names describes a "winged" shape there is no definitive agreement as to the name's origins.
The island has been occupied since the mesolithic period and has a colourful history including a time of Norse rule and a long period of domination by Clan MacLeod and Clan Donald. The events of the 19th century had a devastating impact on the human population, which declined from over 20,000 to around 9,200 in the early 21st century. Nonetheless, in contrast to many other Scottish islands, this represents a 4 per cent increase from the census of 1991. The main industries are tourism, agriculture, fishing and whisky-distilling and the largest settlement is Portree, which is known for its picturesque harbour. Just over 30 per cent of the residents on Skye speak the Scottish Gaelic language.
Skye is part of the Highland Council local government area and is now linked to the mainland by a road bridge. The island is renowned for its spectacular scenery, vibrant culture and heritage, and its abundant wildlife including the Golden Eagle, Red Deer and Atlantic Salmon.

After hiking for nearly five miles, and gaining 2,600 feet, we reached Indian Point high above the Gorge. We had been hiking through the forest for the entire hike, so the views from here were welcome, although I could have done without the icy wind. It's rather dangerous out here. There are steep drop-offs on both sides of this rocky spine. One slip and you'd be toast
Taken during an Ultimate Frisbee game at End Point. Nothing much seems to be happening in these shots because, I think, these were taken during the change-over between points.
I really like the light in these shots.

[b&w week Oct 2015, 1/7]
I'm seriously thinking about commuting by bike every day, the whole year. Need to get my bike and myself ready for colder weather, though.
[Starting another black&white week with good friends today. Stay tuned! :)]
Estoy planteándome seriamente el seguir yendo en bici al trabajo cada dÃa, todo el año. Pero tengo que equiparme mejor para el frÃo, la lluvia y la nieve.
[Empezando una nueva semana negra y blanca con buenos amigos. Permaneced atentos! :)]
