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.
Mori Point last month. Pacifica and its pier is behind the point, with San Francisco and Mount Tamalpais beyond. Mori Point is where Harold drove his Jaguar over the cliff.

Old West Point Gates -- As you enter the cemetery grounds, you will pass through what is possibly a set of the original West Point gates. Inside them is the Old Cadet Chapel, built in 1837, an example of Greek Revival Architecture. It was previously located on the corner adjacent to the USMA Library across from the clock tower. When the new Cadet Chapel was completed overlooking the Plain in 1910, the Old Chapel was supposed to be demolished. Many graduates objected and organized a fund-raising effort to save it. Beginning in August 1910 it was moved and reconstructed stone by stone in its present location. A columbarium has been established underneath it.
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.
Deboxing the Aurora Doll from the Disney Store's Disney Film Collection. As with the Maleficent doll in the same line, it was easy to remove the plastic cover off the cardboard backing. First I cut all the tape holding the edges of the plastic to the backing. Then I pulled the tabs of the plastic cover out of the slots in the backing. The doll is now in the open, but still attached to the backing and spacers. The bottom of the backing was not square with the back side, so I had to place a wad of tissue paper under the front edge to make the doll stand up straight.
I just received my online order from the Disney Store, of the newly released The Disney Maleficent Movie Dolls and Mugs. The dolls are the Maleficent and Aurora 12'' dolls of the Disney Film Collection. The mugs are Maleficent and Dragon mug and the Maleficent and Aurora mug. I ordered them last Tuesday, when the dolls were released online, so it took exactly one week to arrive. Both mugs are very beautiful, and it's hard for me to pick a favorite now. The only slight disappointment is that they have the same design on both sides. Both dolls look very good, but I'm liking Aurora more at this point, mainly because I like her face more than Maleficent's. I think the Dark Beauty Maleficent doll by Jakks Pacific is a better likeness of Angelina Jolie as Maleficent. I will post photos of both dolls boxed, then during deboxing, and finally fully deboxed. I will also show them side by side with other comparable dolls, especially the Jakks versions.

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.

The Alabama Point Bridge has a paved fishing area on the illuminated side of the pass; I'm standing on the opposite beachfront side...that fishing area has been a favorite spot for fishermen, day or night for many decades...you can park right in front of the railing and often catch a variety of fish as your line battles the swift current! Seagulls and pelicans often share the railing with you!

La pointe de Trévignon, sur laquelle se dresse une villa-château (propriété privée), s'avance dans l'océan en direction du sud-ouest, et constitue le point le plus au sud de la commune de Trégunc2. Le port de Trévignon est protégé par une jetée équipée d’un phare. En son centre une construction sur pilotis abrite le canot de la SNSM. La pointe de Trévignon est entourée de petites plages et constitue le point de départ pour la visite de la zone naturelle protégée des étangs de Trévignon
Trégunc [tʁegœ̃] est une commune du département du Finistère, dans la région Bretagne, en France. C'est l'une des communes les plus étendues du Finistère, qui regroupe de nombreux villages ou hameaux. On peut mentionner plusieurs plages de sable fin, une zone naturelle protégée pour la faune et la flore autour des marais de Trévignon.
La commune de Trégunc est située sur le littoral Atlantique, dans le Finistère, au sud de Concarneau et à l'ouest de Pont-Aven. Le bourg, situé à l'intérieur des terres, occupe une position excentrée au nord de la commune.
Le finage communal est délimité à l'ouest par le fleuve côtier Minaouët et l'Anse du Moulin à Mer ; au nord il longe la D 122 qui traverse le hameau de Croaz Hent Bouillet, partagé avec les communes de Melgven et Concarneau ; au nord-est le ruisseau de Kerfrances et le ruisseau du Moulin de Kergunus, tous deux affluents de rive gauche du Minaouët, servent de tracé à la limite communale avec Pont-Aven (avec en fait l'ancienne commune de Nizon) ; à l'est la limite communale avec Névez suit pour partie le tracé du ruisseau de Dourveil.
La présence de plusieurs petits fleuves côtiers déjà cités pour ceux qui servent de limite communale, mais d'autres ont leur cours totalement dans la commune de Trégunc comme ceux qui aboutissent aux plages de Trez Cao et de La Baleine, et de leurs affluents entraîne un relief assez vallonné car ils échancrent le plateau par ailleurs en pente générale vers le sud, les zones les plus élevées se trouvant au nord de la commune, atteignant 84 mètres d'altitude à l'est de Kerstrat et même 88 mètres à l'est de Cros Hent Bouillet. Le bourg, ainsi que toute la partie médiane du territoire communal, se trouve vers une quarantaine de mètres d'altitude ; la partie méridionale, proche de l'Océan Atlantique se trouve vers une vingtaine de mètres d'altitude, par exemple autour des hameaux de Trévignon, Saint-Philibert et Kersidan.
Le littoral de Trégunc est très découpé : à l'ouest, limitrophe de l'ancienne commune de Lanriec, désormais de Concarneau, l'Anse de Pouldohan est une ria aux multiples indentations, se subdivisant principalement en deux parties principales : la branche nord-est forme l'Anse du Moulin à Mer, qui se prolonge en amont par la ria du Minaouët, et qui possède elle-même une ramification, l'Anse de Kerambreton ; la branche sud-est, séparée de la précédente par la Ponte de Grignallou, l'Anse de Pouldohan stricto sensu se subdivise elle aussi, sa partie orientale formant l'Anse de Ster Greich. Peu profonde, l'Anse de Pouldohan découvre largement à marée basse.
