Fort Point has been called "the pride of the Pacific," "the Gibraltar of the West Coast," and "one of the most perfect models of masonry in America." When construction began during the height of the California Gold Rush 1853, Fort Point was planned as the most formidable deterrence America could offer to a naval attack on California. Although its guns never fired a shot in anger, the "Fort at Fort Point" as it was originally named has witnessed Civil War, obsolescence, earthquake, bridge construction, reuse for World War II, and preservation as a National Historic Site.

A cold clear morning makes for a beautiful sunrise over Lake Erie from the tip of Point Pelee National Park.

Point Betsie Light is located on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan — at the southern entrance to the Manitou Passage — north of Frankfort in Benzie County in Northern Michigan. Construction began in 1854, but it was not completed until 1858, and began service in the shipping season of 1859.
The name Point Betsie originates from the Native American people who were in the area and communicating with the French at the time. The French "Pointe Aux Bec Scies" comes from the Indigenous word "Ug-Zig-A-Zee-Bee" which People of the Three Fires [Tribal] Council gave to a river flowing into Lake Michigan just a few miles to the south, where sawbill or Merganser ducks thrived. Translated, Point Betsie means Saw Beak Point.

Storm is coming! Sapphire Point Overlook In Colorado sits between Keystone and Breckenridge on Swan Mountain Road, at an elevation of 9,500 feet. The overlook offers a stunning view of Dillon Reservoir, hemmed in by the Gore and Tenmile mountain ranges.

Sunrise
I did get some photos of the lighthouse but the sky was quite bland. I quite liked the rock pool with Puffin island and the Orme in the distance.
Its always nice to visit a place for the first time, but its probably best to do it in day time first. This was our second visit to Penmon point, the first visit was at night!
So we arrived on Anglesey at around 9pm on the Friday, checked into our hotel and made the short drive to Penmon Point. Great dark conditions but we couldnt make out the area because it was so dark, got some good photos though!
After that night we made a plan to come back on Sunday for sunrise. The first thing we noticed was the tide so low after the high tide at night(8m high tide / -20cm low tide). Quite a slope down from the pebbled beach to the sea below!

I posted my first processed drone photo on Oct. 17th. It was a sunrise taken from above my house in the mobile park where I live.
I took the DJI Mavic Air 2S out on a Photo Expedition to Cabrillo Beach and Pt. Fermin in San Pedro, a couple of favored local spots for my photography, on Sunday morning.
This shot of Pt. Fermin was taken about 18 feet up and out enough so that you can clearly see the lighthouse and buildings on the Point, and get the turbulent sea and the wonderful cloudscape as well.
Not bad for only my second processed drone photo.

Best viewed (really really really) large.
Drone photo of one of my (many many many) favorite points and coves on the Peninsula!
Carnarc Point in South Kessock, Inverness, is a small peninsula where the River Ness meets the Beauly Firth and the Moray Firth leading to the open sea (North Sea). A place to hear the mermaids call.

Thanks a lot for your views, comments and favs :-)
Neist Point, Duirinish, Isle of Skye: the most westerly extremity of the island.
This view is just as big a cliché as Elgol and is, almost always, crawling with photographers around sunset. Just to make my attempt slightly different, I used the NDx1000 filter to get a long enough exposure to smooth out the sea.

See www.karlwilliamsphotography.co.uk/tutorials for a tutorial on the use of the NDx1000 filter for long exposures.
