... at Pemaquid Point. A great sunset there while we visited. Ms. Krach purchased two 'to be used' metal prints from a company through Living Social I think. This shot may be one that I get done in metal (aluminum).

One of the most popular and iconic scenes in Yellowstone, with the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River flowing thru the chasm it's water's created.
"Many people think that this was the spot where famous artist Thomas Moran painted to inspire Congress in 1872. Yellowstone Park photographer F. Jay Haynes thought the same thing. He mistakenly named the overlook in his 1890 guidebook and on his hand-colored postcards.
However, Moran's paintings were actually created at the north rim overlook named Moran Point by the first Hayden Survey in the 1870s. There is more confusion here - Moran Point is also called Lookout Point, Mount Lookout, Lookout Rock, and Prospect Point. On current day official park maps, it's called Lookout Point."

Regardless of how it was named this is still one of the finest views in the park. And many artist's paint and photographer's shoot from this ideal viewpoint.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Interesting juxtaposition of a cattle farm against a Wind Farm. I captured this image while visiting the southernmost point in the Big Island of Hawaii and, for that matter, in the United States.
The Tawhiri Power LLC is an independent power producer that supplies electricity for the State of Hawaii. The Pakini Nui Wind Farm is Tawhiri's principle project and is located near South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii. Since 2007, the wind farm has supplied approximately 18,000 Hawaiian homes per year with a green and renewable source of electrical power.
About the Wind Farm:
The south point area of Hawaii is one of the best places in the world for a wind farm because of its exceptionally strong and consistent trade winds. As as result, Tawhiri Power LLC selected this location for the Pakini Nui Wind Farm.
Construction of the wind farm began in August of 2006 and was completed in early 2007. On April third, 2007 the wind farm began commercial operation. There are a total of fourteen General Electric 1.5 Mega-Watt SE turbines at Pakini Nui. These turbines can provide nearly 21 Mega-Watts of electricity for the Big Island of Hawaii.
The Pakini Nui Wind Farm is located 7 miles down South Point Road from its junction with Route 11.
The sunrise was uneventful but this cloud bank lit up towards the south away from the sun. The wonderful sandstone rock formations on the cliffs at Potter Point are a great foreground.

End of the day along Middle River looking northwest along the river and piers. Following the setting the light makes for some different compositions this time of the year.

I visited the South West part of Cornwall and made several hikes over the South West Coast Path. This picture is taken at the Godrevy Point. These little flowers give colour to the rugged coastline and untamed wildness of the cliffs and sea. Cornwall, 2026.
Again, I would like to thank everyone for your support, views, faves and comments!
