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.
The Yellow-breasted Chat is an Endangered species in Ontario with approximately 30-60 breeding pairs. For nesting chats prefer early successional habitat with a dense shrub layer. Hopefully it finds a mate and sticks around to nest at the Point.

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.

Snow coming into north central Arizona at a place known as Sunset Point, which, like the famous Zabriski Point in Death Valley is not a point of land in the water,but an observation point with a fine view.

"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."

Finally found some time to explore the new Greenway access right in the heart of the city. Though no wildlife was evident this windy afternoon, it was a great walk meandering along the Gordon River. Greenway, Naples, FL
Went to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio with a few friends. Had an amazing time, they take roller coasters seriously!!
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.
