The first Point Arena Lighthouse was constructed in 1870.
In 1906 it was damaged in an earthquake.
It was reconstructed and resumed operation in 1908 and featured a 1st Order Fresnel Lens, seven feet in diameter and weighing 4,700 pounds. The lens is made up of 258 hand-ground glass prisms all focused toward three sets of double bulls eyes. It is these bulls eyes that gave the Point Arena Lighthouse its unique “light signature” of two flashes every six seconds. This incredible optic, that holds an appraised value of over $3.5 million
Lizard Point, is Britain's most southerly point. The area is famous for its dramatic cliff walks, wild flowers and geological features. The point is a spectacular location with steep cliffs and stunning views.
The Pigeon Point Lighthouse with its fresnel lens lit. In this yearly ceremony, they turn on the light for 5 minutes and let it stay stationary - the beams reaching out into the night sky. After that, the light will slowly turn for two hours until the shut it off.
Took this shortly after it was lit this year, while the light was still stationary.

Another flashback from my trip to Alaska, this time in Skagway, AK. Such a beautiful city. At the end of the stay someone recommended a small hike out to Dyea Point, boy was it worth it. Do you agree?

PS-It's exciting to note that this image had the "honor" of being chosen by flickr as an "EXPLORED" image- what is EXPLORE ??
Explore is Flickr's way of showcasing the most interesting photos within a given point in time -- usually over a 24 hour period.
Flickr receives about 6,000 uploads every minute --
That's about 8.6 million photos a day!
From this huge group of images, the Flickr Interestingness algorithm selects only 500 images to showcase for each 24-hour period.
That's only one image in every 17,000!
Pretty Cool - huh?

Point Lonsdale back {Ocean} beach, Low Tide.
8:11 pm, waiting for the sunset I decided this image in black & white [Fuji switched to monochrome +R] may be something a little different for later viewing.

Idaho's Initial Point is a volcanic butte rising from the western Snake River Plain. Beginning on April 19, 1867, surveyors mapped the entire state starting from this butte. Every piece of land in the state is referenced by its direction and distance from a brass survey marker located on top of the butte.
Happy Bench Monday.
This is the cabin Mrs. Krach and I stayed in several nights when there in southern West Virginia. it was a great spot to stay there in Mill Point, and the sound of the creek while sitting on the porch and with the windows open was so refreshing.
