Taken Miller's Point, Cape Town, South Africa

Taken at Cape Blomidon Provincial Park, which is located 20 minutes outside of Wolfville, in Nova Scotia, Canada.

Cape Cornwall and it's iconic stack, looking out over the Atlantic Ocean and the Irish Sea. As part of its centenary celebrations in 1987, Heinz purchased Cape Cornwall for the nation and presented it to the National Trust to look after. This prevented Cape Cornwall falling into the hands of private developers. Shame the same could not have happened to Land's End.

We'll finish this little series on the Rocky Cape National Park, starting with this view of the beach. There are a number of shacks in the area where people with long-term leases share the National Park. Most of these people only visit on holidays and generally go boating and fishing. If you look closely at this picture you will see the one mains power pole that takes power to the lighthouse.

Taken Addo Elephant National Park, Eastern Cape, South Africa.

 

Addo Elephant National Park is a diverse wildlife conservation park situated close to Port Elizabeth in South Africa and is one of the country's 20 national parks. It currently ranks third in size after Kruger National Park and the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. I spent four consecutive days within the park which provided an amazing variety of wildlife.

Cape Flattery is the northwestern most point of the contiguous United States. The Strait of Juan de Fuca joins the Pacific Ocean at this cape. It is part of the Makah Reservation.

Oswald West State Park, Oregon

A storm is approaching and first heavy rains for months. I made mad dash to the sea to capture the last sunset for a while.

Portrait of a Cape May Warbler

Cape Sounion, Attica, Greece

The Cape May Warbler was busy feeding in this cedar tree and flew back and forth while I stood a few yards away for several minutes. Seemingly oblivious to me the warbler concentrated on his feeding activities, and then moved into an adjacent cedar hedge row. Spring migration,

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Endangered because of habitat loss and predation by crows. Shot in a shrub in the garden of a friend in Cape Town, South Africa. In African folk lore they are regarded as bringing bad luck, sickness or even as harbingers of death.

This evening moments before the sun set I see these two playing with a soccer ball and only too happy they became part of my photograph.

Cape Disappointment Lighthouse

 

In 1848, a lighthouse was recommended to be located at Cape Disappointment in what was then the Oregon Territory. An appropriation of $53,000 was made in 1852. After the lighthouse was designed, a first-order Fresnel lens was ordered. When the lens arrived it was found to be too large for the tower. Rebuilding the tower took an additional two years. The first lighthouse in the Pacific Northwest was finally lit on October 15, 1856. In addition to the light, the station was equipped with a 1,600-pound (730 kg) bell powered by a striking mechanism. The keeper's residence was about a quarter-mile away.
