Point Wilson Light - “Man must behave like a lighthouse; he must shine day and night for the goodness of everyman.”
Point Wilson, named by Captain George Vancouver in 1792 after his colleague Captain George Wilson, marks the western side of the entrance to Admiralty Inlet from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and is an important landmark for vessels traveling to and from Puget Sound in Washington State.
Pigeon Point Light Station or Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse (tied with Point Arena Light) on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway (State Route 1), 5 miles (8 km) south of Pescadero, California, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The 115-foot (35 m), white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure. Because of its location and ready access from the main highway, Pigeon Point entertains a large number of public visitors.
The lighthouse and the land around have been preserved as Pigeon Point Light Station State Historic Park, a California state park. The lighthouse is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places,and designated as a California Historical Landmark.

Looking down at the beach from the top of Ledge Point, Gull Rock National Park, Albany, Western Australia.
A marine observatory built in 2018 and open all year round. It has a very nice seascape cafe that does excellent food. The view over the sea and of the enormous beach from the cafe is also amazing.

The Grand Canyon has the raw emotional power to reduce me to tears whenever I am fortunate enough to view her beauty in the flesh, and I am not ashamed to admit that.

Not the sexiest lighthouse/sunset shot, but with the location of the sun, as it was going down, this is it. I tried to highlight the windows reflecting the color in the sky behind me to make the shot more interesting. I was just amazed that I was able to capture something framed, on the wall inside, through the window at the left.
This is a seven exposure HDR.
Hope everyone's year is off to a good start.
So, I'm driving to get to the magnificent Point Reyes Peninsula and in the small town of Inverness on the way I see this! Lucky day. I've posted another pic of this with more info.
The first electrical power plant in Mineral Point was built for use in zinc processing and then for street lighting. This plant was built between 1908 and 1915 and was operated by the Mineral Point Public Service Co. In 1924 the plant was sold to the Wisconsin Power & Light Co. It now appears to be privately owned and no longer a power plant.
