Eddystone Point on Tasmania's north east coast was first sighted by Europeans with the voyage of Abel Tasman in 1642. It is now in the Mount William National Park.
The land around the lighthouse that was built in 1889 has now been returned to the local Aboriginal community. It is known by its original name, larapuna. This handover took place in 2006 and the Aboriginal Land Council now has management of the property. There is a fine description here of their role: tacinc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/larapuna_17.4.15...
The community is very welcoming of visitors to this wonderful location.
"Welcome, 2016" I finally made it out to the old sign last week and was happy to get a rising moon sneaking over the trees across the highway. I'm glad I waited until this point in the year because I was also able to capture Orion as he begins this season's hunt. You can see him just over the sign.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Off and on for the past two weeks we have been hearing a sporadic pre-dawn squawk of a yellow-crowned night heron in the pine tree at the corner of our house; yet no heron could be found in the morning light. It's the season when we daily search the limbs looking for the whole colony that returns from the previous year to repair their nests and raise the next generation. (Some of you may remember them from last year's posts.) But where are the rest of them? Finally, this morning - the full chorus! So far I have counted 14! Because of their proximity in the yard, we can't avoid being entertained by each other. They do what birds do at this time of year and we laugh. I do what I do - perch on my ladder in contorting positions with my camera and they seem equally entertained. =))
Sound voice text for their calls, if you are interested...

My first shot of 2025. I've gone by this church a few days ago but it was not fully lit up. Tonight would be different. I'm liking what they've done here.
"Welcome to Lanesboro" sign on Fillmore County Roads 8 and 21, shortly before the road takes the plunge into the historic town of Lanesboro, Minnesota.
Lanesboro lies on the South Branch of the Root River in the cave-filled karst topography of Fillmore County in southeastern Minnesota. The region is the part of Minnesota that the most recent glaciations did not reach, leaving it with geologic features that aren't found anywhere else in the state and the name, "the Driftless Area." The scenery in this unique area is spectacular.
Lanesboro, named after one of its founders, F. A. Lane, was platted in 1868 in a beautiful bluff-lined area in the Root River Valley. The town and the area around it were settled mainly by Norwegian immigrants who left their mark all over Fillmore County.

To commemorate 50 years (to the day) of main line preservation running, a commemorative special train ran from London Victoria to Bath on 27 April 2024. The loco had just emerged from a heavy overhaul and had undergone a few test runs in the previous week or so. On a cold and damp morning, the train approaches Byfleet and New Haw at around 75mph. The train was accorded the rare honour for steam of the fast line from Wimbledon all the way to Worting Junction.
Jasper gives a welcoming smile along our desert hike. Studio26 B&W assignment. Light & color fell flat on this so converted to b&w with Silver Efex Pro add-in to Lightroom. I used the fine art preset. But want to mess around with some of the suggestions others have made.
