Rocky Point at the Sue-Meg State Park near Trinidad, CA is well-named, with the Pacific Ocean haze and fog playing its part on this day, October, 2024. My wife thought this was a black-and-white, but it was shot in color.

Ouça minha inspiração
Another road shot from Georgia (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49104292301/in/datepo...), although here we stepped out, and spend an hour or so to view this!
This probably is the most spectacular road pass that I saw in my whole life. The Gudauri pass is on the way to Kasbegi (more to come on that area later), but it was not an easy shot to make.
It took me awhile to figure out how to get rid of the sun that was getting into my lens, and the rather flat light that I saw on my finder.
I finally made an HDR composition (three shots with different light settings) and in 35 mm .The rest I did at home. The result is more a less how I saw it in real. The red in the mountain that is in the back came back to life.
Two months ago I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve has often been called “the crown jewel” of California’s 280 state parks.

Deadhorse Point State Park
Near Moab, UT
In my opinion, this is the best overlook in America. By this time of the morning, the canyon wall were catching enough sun to reflect in the river below.
Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state, with more than 150 past and present. I found this one in the town of Escanaba, Michigan, on the northern shore of Lake Michigan. It operated continuously from 1868 until 1939, when it was replaced by an automated light offshore. The Sand Point Lighthouse was restored by the local historical society between 1985 and 1990, and I’ve “restored” it even further for this image by taking out some modern electrical paraphernalia, power lines and signage, providing a cleaner look. I left in the fences, though. :-)

After getting stuck in traffic on I-20 East, I found myself way further behind the KCS L-BC202-10 than I had wanted to be. Speeding ahead of it on Hwy 164 into Sibley, I made a swift right hand turn, parked it on the bridge, and took the shot. I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. The engineer has the three GPs in throttle as they enter Sibley, Louisiana with 31 cars of interchange traffic for the Louisiana Southern in Minden.
Trevor Carpenter Photo Challenge, Week #35 Historical
The Mission Point Lighthouse is located at the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City, Michigan. This Lake Michigan lighthouse was built in 1870.
By the mid 1850s, shipping on Grand Traverse Bay had grown substantially. A lighthouse on the northern tip of Old Mission Peninsula was needed to warn of the rocky shallow point. In 1859 Congress appropriated the funds, however the light was not completed until 1870.
The first lighthouse keeper was Jerome M. Pratt, who kept a detailed journal of passing ships. On the first day he noted 5 vessels- 2 schooners, 2 steamers and one bark. An entry in 1875, only 5 years later, listed 101 steamers and 75 sailing ships.
Mission Point Lighthouse had only 7 keepers in the 63 years it was in service. In 1933 the old lamp was decommissioned and eventually replaced by an offshore buoy light.
The Mission Point Lighthouse is located exactly on the 45th parallel or halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.
Neist Point is one of the most famous lighthouses in Scotland and can be found on the most westerly tip of Skye near the township of Glendale.

The Point Judith Light is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island as well as the north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. The confluence of two waterways make this area busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous.
