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.
On my holiday to Canada in August 2011, we travelled down to Point Pelee, the southern most tip of Canada.
I have started helping out a group of young up and coming dancers/ models with some portfolio shots. To be fair its helping me expand my portfolio as well.
This shot had some lovely colours in it but overall worked a thousand times better in B&W.

Fort Point, San Francisco. Typical "summer" day in San Francisco: High fog making dull, featureless gray sky and cold wind. Yep. Bring a sweater in summer in SF :)
Point Wild, Elephant Island 2015.
It was here that Frank Wild, the forgotten hero of Shackleton’s 1915 expedition, survived in charge of 21 men on a diet of seal, penguin and seaweed. After his heroic exploit Shackleton returned to rescue the men over 120 days later.
We attempted a landing but it was too windy.
Fort Point is a formerly industrial area across Fort Point Channel from Boston's Financial District. It appears to be mostly lofts now.

I went on a bucket list trip to California in 2024. While I was there, whale watching was also on my list. So we launched from Dana Point into the bay. While we didn't see any whales... we were graced with the presence of two huge pods of dolphins! A monumental moment in time.
Check out my California album for more images from that trip.

Point Fermin Lighthouse. Point Fermin Lighthouse was the lighthouse for the Port of Los Angeles from 1874 to 1942. As an aid to navigation, it guided ships around the Point Fermin cliff sand and into San Pedro harbor. It was built in 1874 when Phineas Banning was dredging a navigable channel to Wilmington and developing San Pedro harbor as an ocean port.
Point Fermin Lighthouse is designed in the Stick Style popular at the time and used for several other contemporary lighthouses. (Long before Mission Revival came into being.) With all the Victorian gingerbread it is a very cute structure indeed. The lighthouse was in operation until 1942. It was tended by lighthouse keepers who lived with their families in the lower section of the lighthouse. During World War II, radar gear replaced the light and the building became one of the first radar stations. After the war, the lighthouse was used by the parks department for maintenance of Point Fermin Park. Point Fermin Lighthouse was restored to its original appearance in 2001 and opened to tours in 2003. 805 Paseo del Mar.

Needhams Point lighthouse is situated in the grounds of the Hilton Barbados hotel on the south-west coast of the island. It is the second oldest lighthouse in Barbados dating back to 1855. Located at the south end of Carlisle Bay, this octagonal lighthouse played an important role in guiding ships into this safe harbour. Unlike the other lighthouse in Barbados the Needhams Point lighthouse featured a stationary rather than rotating light. The lighthouse became neglected and for years was used as storage for the Hilton, and ran a serious risk of being destroyed. Not until the remodeling of the Hilton did the lighthouse escape this fate. It has been repaired and sits very close to the hotel, actually dwarfed by the hotel. But at least, it still stands.

"Following overland tests at Salisbury Plain during March 1897, on May 13, the Italian born and recently British based inventor, best known for his development of a radiotelegraph system, Guglielmo Marconi, assisted by George Kemp (who was a Cardiff based Post Office engineer) transmitted and received the first wireless signals over open sea from Lavernock Point to Flat Holm island. The very first message transmitted in morse code was "ARE YOU READY". This was immediately followed by "CAN YOU HEAR ME" to which the reply was "YES LOUD AND CLEAR".
The initial tests were so successful over the three and a third mile (6 kilometres) stretch of water that it was quickly decided to relocate the telegraph equipment from Flat Holm to Brean Down Fort, near Weston Super Mare increasing the distance to nearly ten miles (16 kilometres) from the Lavernock Point transmitter.
Following these successful trials, Marconi subsequently vested his new patent rights in his 'Wireless Telegraph and Signal Company'.
On the point in the late 1860s Lavernock Fort gun battery was built by the Royal Commission and completed in 1870, with three 7" muzzle loading cannons to protect the channel approaches to Cardiff and Bristol shipyards during the short lived war between Britain and France that followed the French Revolution. Sometime before 1895 the gun battery was reinforced with a fourth cannon only for all four guns to be replaced eight years later by two rapid fire six inch former naval guns in 1903. A two unit searchlight battery was added during the Second World War. Today the remaining main section of the gun battery has been listed as an Ancient Monument, which includes the gun emplacements, director-rangefinder observation position, crew and officers quarters."

Out weekend trip to Point Pleasant. Ryan's boss very nicely let us use his beach bungalow, and it was decorated like Pee-wee's Beach house.
Point Cabrillo is named after the Spanish explorer Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo, although Cabrillo's voyage of exploration along the California coast did not reach as far north as the point.
Point Cabrillo Lighthouse was established in 1909, displaying a 3rd Order Standard Lens and Air Sirens. It is located about 1.5 miles south of Fort Bragg, California. With the exception of a small barn, all original buildings stand unaltered. In 1935, an air diaphone supertyfone sound signal was installed. The United States Coast Guard manned the station until 1973, when the lens was covered and a modern rotating beacon was mounted on a metal stand on the roof west of the lantern room. In 1991 the light station was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It has been a California State Park since 2002.
