I love the Blavand lighthouse, not only a point of orientation for ships but also a great place to start endless beach hikes. Blavand Fyr, Jylland,Denmark
Late October sunset around a small lake close to river Weser near Porta Westfalica was one of my waypoints while chasing the last daylight. Ostwestfalen, Germany
This old tree is one of my favorite landmarks on my Hücker Moor hiking trips. I have taken endless shots of this waypoint in all seasons. You do not need a lot of phantasy to imagine that this is....you fill the blank. Hücker Moor, Spenge, Ostwestfalen, Germany
The Hücker Moor is a nice little lake in the Herford area (Northwest Germany). Peat was cut here more than a century ago and created this lovely landscape. Today the place is a great location for wildlife and worth a trip for the local folks in all seasons.
I love these trees standing alone just as this one on my biking trail between Herford and Löhne, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Waypoint - Mt Airy, Philadelphia - USA (Sony a7 Mark II - Voigtlander 110mm F2.5 APO Macro + Atomos Shinobi External Monitor)
Howdy friends!!
Here is a rare occurrence for me, posting a shot taken during the afternoon. Bill McIntosh and I decided to scout out this area during the daylight, and see what we could find just roaming around, we dropped several waypoints at our favorite spots then made our way out past this insane rock formation which resembled a skeletal snake which had just slithered up from the valley behind.
It's amazing the incredible treasures Mother Nature has hidden away in the desert southwest.
After receiving much interest I am considering hosting a workshop to this exact location next year.
If you would be interested in joining the group in 2020 then take advantage of the "early bird" discount by sending me a Flickr mail so I can save you a spot!!

The first waypoint of last Saturday's War Horse Walk was Gutter Tor, a short ascent from the layby. The views were already superb from up there and walking a short distance to an old triangulation point, the views were simply stunning with Plymouth and the sea clearly visible. I especially liked the split rock in that frame.
Seljalandsfoss - Iceland 20210714
Seljalandsfoss is a waterfall in Iceland. Seljalandsfoss is located in the South Region in Iceland right by Route 1 and the road that leads to Þórsmörk Road 249. The waterfall drops 60 m and is part of the Seljalands River that has its origin in the volcano glacier Eyjafjallajökull. Visitors can walk behind the falls into a small cave.
Seljalandsfoss was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6.
Seljalandsfoss was featured in the movie CKY2K along with music from Björk.
A scene from the 1990 movie The Juniper Tree (film) has Björk's character walk behind the waterfall.
The official music video of "I'll Show You" by Justin Bieber features glacial lagoons and rivers in South Iceland, including Seljalandsfoss.
The first episode of season three of Star Trek: Discovery "That Hope Is You, Part 1" featured a brief scene at the waterfall.

Fort Smith National Historic Site, Arkansas
War and peace. Outlaws and executions. Life-saving food and medical supplies. Justice, and injustice. An abandoned fort, and a thriving hub of life. A waypoint for future Western exploration and settlement, and an end-point for the tragic forced relocation of the Cherokee from the East. Fort Smith has seen it all, and then some.
Founded in 1817 but abandoned after only 7 years, it sprang up again in 1838 and lasted until 1896. As a federal fort, it was one of several end-points for the appalling "Trail of Tears", survived a Civil War battle in 1864, formed a major supply station, and finally became a federal court where many stories and myths of the Old West were made.
Now however, it's almost forgotten history. Thousands of cars and trucks pass by on Highway I-64 within a thousand feet of the fort every day, and never even notice it. Such is American History: so much passion-of-the-moment, followed by complacency, then apathy and abandonment for something else to be passionate about.
Fortunately for those of us who are interested in history, the site has been preserved by the National Park Service. Here in this shot is the Old Fort Smith Commissary, dating from 1845, and on the right as a companion, one of the famed covered wagons that made heading West in the 1800s possible for the Army and entire families looking for a life on the edge of the frontier.

When I captured this scene back in July, it was just the onset of yet another summer thunderstorm. One of countless similar images collected over the course of a seemingly endless stream of summer evenings. But they weren't endless. And looking back, this moment, like so many others, has forever escaped my grasp. I didn't post this photo in the moment because I figured there would be a better time, a better storm, better light, or maybe a better frame of mind for me to capture the scene. None of those conditions came to pass. And as it turns out, all of those better things existed only at the precise time I spent gazing across the meadow at this lone tree. I passed by this meadow the other day. The tree is still there. But nothing about the scene looks or feels the same as it did on that stormy July evening back when summer felt endless.
This is as much about journeys the uncertainty of them and pleasure of arriving at a destination as it is about the poorly lit ramp down to the promenade by the sea.
It is taken at Cromer, Norfolk, England. The tiny solar lights that are located on in the pathway are rather ineffective at the lighting the way.
The Bronsoijoch or Passo Bronsoi is a prominent waypoint on the Dolomites mountain trail 2 (Via Alta 2) not far from the Schlüterhut between Peitlerkofel and Geislergruppe (Odle group).
The picture shows a view of the eastern part of the Puez-Geisler Nature Park, with the Val Badia in the foreground.

that link takes you to a video that explains the journey of this amazing piece, if you don't have three minutes, read on....
Officially this is called the acid ball, this thirty foot in diameter orb of awe's job was to relieve the pressure accumulated by those space ships I posted previously, today it is the centerpiece of the park built on the site of the former pulp mill. It has been painted with something that makes it reflect light back in the direction of it's source and it really is amazing to see. Watch the video, they even have a shot of the building being brought down around the vats without hitting them. good stuff.
The last waypoint on our circular hike at Avon Dam was Black Tor. Coming over the hills from the Bronze Age settlement Rider's Rings we crossed grassland to reach the tor which nicely overlooks the Avon valley. There's some fabulous views in pretty much all directions from up there - the way down to reach the river again was a bit adventurous and not very well marked. Last year we got about 30 ticks by walking through an area like that with lots of fern to cross - this time we were lucky and remained without tick bites.
The Anvil Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse located near Swanage in Dorset, southern England. The lighthouse is built of local stone and was completed in 1881. It was opened by Neville Chamberlain's father, then Minister of Transport. The lighthouse tower is twelve metres tall, the height of the light above the high-water mark is 45 m (148 ft). The light is positioned to give a waypoint for vessels passing along the English Channel coast.
Banking right away from Runway 09R, heading towards the waypoint at Compton, then onwards to Toronto. Operating flight BAW93 but using the callsign 'Speedbird Nine Lima'.
I love biking in nature and apart from Summer pleasures I adore old castles and manor houses. During one of my last tours I had a stop at Schloss Tatenhausen near Halle, Ostwestfalen, Germany
Schloss Ulenburg was the last waypoint on my mountainbike-tour on Saturday. Löhne, Ostwestfalen, Germany
One of the waypoints on my 9-mile hike loop between Steamboat Rock and North Teepees was to check out a cluster of domes that from Google Earth looked like smaller versions of the Paria Puppets. Here's one angle on what I found there, with some clouds added from the previous day.
Sometimes I experience summer weekends in much the same way as a passenger on a train gazing out the window at the passing landscape. Like the train passenger, the metaphorical weekend journey is marked by many waypoints. They are often very diverse, yet interconnected as part of the same passage. I often develop a strange nostalgia for my weekend waypoints even before they have passed me by. I'll sometimes pause and think about the moment in time I'm currently occupying. I consider every nuance about that instance. How it feels, what I'm doing, the light and shadow. It's like taking a mental photo of that moment in my life. The nostalgia creeps in when I think about how all of that is about to change. And how I'll feel hours later when the moment has long passed and only the memory remains. I'll desperately want to return to that moment, but it's forever lost. This does not (as you might suspect) cause me day-long sadness. However it does engender an abiding respect for living in and appreciating the moment. Found myself standing in front of this scene yesterday on the very day of the summer solstice. Instantly I recognized this as one of those moments. The grabber for me were the empty table and chairs. My first thought was whether they were decorative, or if people actually sat here. Perhaps they enjoyed a summer picnic, or simply chatted with cool beverages. Either way the furniture added immensely to the sense of place. The scene had the look of a film set, everything carefully crafted to create a mood. The side yard, trees, filtered sunlight, the shadows cast by the furniture. The entire scene felt energized as if by an internal glow. The effect heightened by the utter absence of people and only the sounds of songbirds to fill the warm air. The Victorian house made for an idyllic setting. I imagined garden parties and gatherings that occurred here over the years, and the 140-odd summer solstices that had passed over this place. But this one was all mine. I lingered in the moment, but before long was compelled to re-board the train that would carry me along my summer weekend journey. I watched from the window as the empty table and chairs quickly receded into the distance.
Lake Chocorua, a mandatory stop while navigating north to New Hampshire’s White Mountain National Forest. This day was the last chance to enjoy the White’s seasonal color. A major storm with strong winds and hard rain came through the Northeast the following day.
Seems a passing into the long, cold winter that lies ahead.
My shorts got packed away today, too.
Seljalandsfoss is one of the most famous waterfalls of Iceland. It is very picturesque and therefore its photo can be found in many books and calendars. It was a waypoint during the first leg of The Amazing Race 6. Seljalandsfoss is situated in between Selfoss and Skógafoss at the road crossing of Route 1 (the Ring Road) with the track going into Þórsmörk. This waterfall of the river Seljalandsá drops 60 meters (200 ft) over the cliffs of the former coastline. It is possible to go behind the waterfall.

German Transall 50+40 turns North-East away from the Schleswig-Holstein coast en route to further waypoints on this photo flight.
The aircraft wears a fresh special paint scheme. it combines the four colour schemes the German Transall aircraft have worn through history...
The C-160 belongs to the Lufttransportgeschwader 63 based at Hohn AB.
Until end of 2021 the type will be phased out of the German Luftwaffe inventory. It´s successor the A400M of the Luftransportgeschwader62 at Wunstorf AB will have taken over the duties of German military air transport.
Being a photographer, at least for me, has nothing to do with money. It's about
intention. Why you pick up the camera, what you want to say, what you want to
share with the world.
At the end of the day, it's the medium you chose to express yourself with and communicate with the world.
It's about how much it leaves in your head, how much time you
spend thinking about it, learning, experimenting, working on projects,
building something bigger than just a single picture.
Glacial potholes are formed at the bottom of glaciers through erosion caused by sand and gravel in melt-water; melt-water seeps through crevasses in the glacier at the bottom forming whirlpools under very high pressure, leading to erosion of underlying rocks.
This one - about six feet (1.8 m ) - is sixty feet deep ,noted and recorded by excavation of debris in the pothole a half century ago .
Image is from a recent revisit of a site I photographed three years ago . ( See album )
State: New York
Location: Schuyler County, in Montour Falls
Height: 165
Water Source: Shequaga Creek
Waypoint: 42.34472N 76.85139W
Summary: This is a pretty waterfall, and an easy one to visit. If you are visiting Watkin's Glen, it will only take you a few minutes to drive to Montour Falls and have a look.
She-Qua-Ga Falls is in downtown Montour Falls. There are signs, and the falls are hard to miss. That being said, I did manage to drive right past it the first time without noticing it. There is a small park at the base of the falls. You can also drive up to the bridge over the falls. There are apparently several other falls in the immediate area. Aunt Sarahs' falls is a roadside falls on Route 14 just north of Montour Falls, but it did not have much water and was not very impressive.

Montour Falls is a village located in Schuyler County, New York, United States. A population of 1,711 was reported by the US Census of 2010. A waterfall at the end of West Main Street gives the village its name. The name "Montour" is derived from Queen Catharine Montour, a prominent Native American woman of Seneca Indian heritage who lived at the village site in the 18th century. The boundaries defining the Village of Montour Falls occur mostly within the Town of Montour, but a small part lies within the Town of Dix. The village is located approximately twenty miles north of Elmira, New York and three miles south of Watkins Glen, New York. The New York State Academy of Fire Science is located in the village.

A lighthouse was first built on the Flamborough Headland in 1669 but was never lit. The current lighthouse was built in 1806 and acts as a waypoint for deep sea vessels and coastal traffic as well as marking the Flamborough Headland for vessels heading for the ports of Scarborough and Bridlington. A new light is currently being fitted and so these old optics are on display at the base of the lighthouse!
