Picnic Point Park is a small county park on Puget Sound which is quite near my house. I photograph there often in it's many different moods. Beach pilings photographed at high tide.
its grainy because the ISO was at 1600.
landscape photos aren't really my thing, but i like this one.
The incoming tide had long since covered the sandy shores of Lowell Point Beach in Seward, Alaska, when I took this photo, and were beginning to hit the rocky shore as well.

Point of rock jutting west at Lighthouse Beach near Charleston Oregon. You can just make out the lighthouse and cave on the island in the distance.

Point Lookout Overlook part of the Green Ridge State Forest in Allegany County, Maryland.
The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.
There has been a lighthouse here since 1870. This particular lighthouse was built in 1908, replacing the original tower which had been damaged beyond repair in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906.
This new reinforced concrete lighthouse was built by a construction company specializing in industrial smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
We travelled with Cruise Whitsundays from Hamilton Island, via Daydream Island to Abell Point. The impressive marina has at least doubled in size since the last time we visited.
An outline history of the marina is in the first comment. The first settler and land owner of the area now known as Airlie Beach was Thomas Abell, from Herefordshire in England.
With direct access to the Whitsundays 74 Islands and Great Barrier Reef, Abell Point Marina is located in Airlie Beach, North Queensland, 30 minutes from Proserpine Airport or a ferry transfer from Hamilton Island Airport. Protected by its uniquely designed iconic breakwater, Abell Point Marina is the largest marina of its type in Australia, giving it the well earned reputation as the tourism, transport and recreation hub of the Whitsundays region.

Point Lobos is a rocky and exceedingly scenic point of land that extends into the Pacific Ocean a little south of Monterey, California. Many of the craggy peaks are forested with Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa) that have been sculpted by winds and salt spray. The trees often take on highly contorted shapes, sometimes looking like branched corkscrews.

At Point Loma in San Diego, CA, there's a historical lighthouse that's been there since the 1800s. You can climb the winding stairs all the way to the top to get this glimpse of the light (and it looks exactly like this when you look up). But you can't actually go past the barrier, just peer in.

The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Mendocino coast.
At 115' in height, the Point Arena Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast, tied with Pigeon Point.
This lighthouse was built in 1908 to replace the original 1870 Point Arena Lighthouse after it was damaged beyond repair in the Great San Francisco Earthquake of 1906. It was built by a company specializing in reinforced concrete smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.

Off for a 6 mile walk with my dawg and thought I'd dust off my lensbaby for a few more experimental shots... This was one of them!
Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago — long before Death Valley came into existence. The name Zabriskie comes from Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, who in the early 20th century was the vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company, whose famous twenty mule teams were used to transport borax from the company's mining operations in Death Valley.
