Rocky Point at the Sue-Meg State Park near Trinidad, CA is well-named, with the Pacific Ocean haze and fog playing its part on this day, October, 2024. My wife thought this was a black-and-white, but it was shot in color.

Last weekend in North Devon, This is the path that follows the cliff edge around to the stunning baggy point , The path on the left takes you down to the rocks but with big surf hitting the rocks not a very good idea to go down there. Sadly we did not get all the way around as time was against us .
Many thanks for taking my previous image into explore much appreciated all your kind faves and comments .
Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state, with more than 150 past and present. I found this one in the town of Escanaba, Michigan, on the northern shore of Lake Michigan. It operated continuously from 1868 until 1939, when it was replaced by an automated light offshore. The Sand Point Lighthouse was restored by the local historical society between 1985 and 1990, and I’ve “restored” it even further for this image by taking out some modern electrical paraphernalia, power lines and signage, providing a cleaner look. I left in the fences, though. :-)

Two years ago in early November I bought my current and first DSLR camera. I had not done any night shooting prior to my coming to the annual lighting of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse's Fresnel Lens. I was a nervous wreck trying to get set up, and a fellow photographer even attempted to sabotage me by telling me to do things that made my shots worse.
I came away that evening with a decent shot, but because I used a high ISO a very grainy shot. Well, it's been two years and they re-lit the lens tonight and I was able to try getting that shot one more time.
I met some wonderful people and got to hang with my friend Paul and even saw another flickr contact I haven't seen in a while.
It was a fantastic evening!
Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah.
Bryce Canyon National Park, a sprawling reserve in southern Utah, is known for its crimson-colored hoodoos, or spire-shaped rock formations. The park’s main road leads past the expansive Bryce Amphitheater, a hoodoo-filled depression lying below the Rim Trail hiking path. It has overlooks at Sunrise Point, Sunset Point, Inspiration Point and Bryce Point. Prime viewing times are around sunup and sundown.
Passing the site of former Pointe-aux-Chênes station dating back from when Canadian Pacific still owned the line, QG 855 job is rolling eastbound with an healthy train bound for Ste-Thérèse yard, QG's headquarters for the Montréal area.
This line now see only one day of service per week, at least in daylight.

A night by Collins Pool with a tiny island view, under the dazzling rise of the Southern Milky Way and the auroras.
Just as if nature had planned it, the Aurora Australis started to paint the sky in soft waves of pink, red, and yellow.
Most people know the northern lights, but our southern auroras are rarer because of how the Earth’s magnetic field interacts down here. Without as many land masses in the south, it’s a treat we don’t often get to see as brightly in the south. In fact, I didn't even realize the #auroras were that bright until I was already into my 2nd shot of this sky's pano, had I known, I would've used a wider lens...easier to stitch.
The image is a composite, the ground was shot while the moon was out while the sky was captured on the same night after the moon had set.

[aus der Wikipedia]:
Der Zabriskie Point ist ein Aussichtspunkt im Gebiet des Gebirgszugs der Amargosa Range im Death-Valley-Nationalpark, der für seine bizarren Erosionslandschaften um den ehemaligen Lake Manly bekannt ist. Er wurde zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts nach Christian Brevoort Zabriskie aus Wyoming benannt, dem Vizepräsidenten und Geschäftsführer der Pacific Coast Borax Company, die mit dem Boraxabbau in dem Gebiet beauftragt war. Die Gesteinsformationen, auf die man von diesem Punkt sieht, sind die Sedimente des ehemaligen Furnace Creek Lake, der vor fünf Millionen Jahren ausgetrocknet ist.

[from Wikipedia]:
Zabriskie Point is a part of the Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, United States, noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago—long before Death Valley came into existence.
Located between Dead Horse Point and Island in the Sky, Marlboro Point looks out on two joined rock prominences and Shafer Canyon, with the Needles District of Canyonlands and Abajo Mountains off in the distance. The sunlit rock is mostly Wingate sandstone, deposited as massive sand dunes around 200 million years ago.
The view from Marlboro point doesn't pick up the warmest light at sunset due to a fairly close canyon rim to the west (right), but does look lovely in the golden hour light, and after sunset (or at sunrise) when clouds light up in warm colors. A storm had moved off in the early afternoon, and by sunset the sky rapidly cleared, so this was the best light I got.
The origin of the name of the point is sketchy- it doesn't appear on any official USGS documents nor is it mentioned in any of the place name sources I found. A photo in a Smithsonian web page suggests this is where the original cigarette ad was filmed, but I've found no support for that (and spent too much time looking at commercials to evaluate the claim). My guess is that someone thought this resembled "Marlboro country" and named it accordingly.

The Douse Point Range Lighthouse in Murray River, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Built in 1899 and decommissioned in 1984.
After getting stuck in traffic on I-20 East, I found myself way further behind the KCS L-BC202-10 than I had wanted to be. Speeding ahead of it on Hwy 164 into Sibley, I made a swift right hand turn, parked it on the bridge, and took the shot. I was pleasantly surprised with how it turned out. The engineer has the three GPs in throttle as they enter Sibley, Louisiana with 31 cars of interchange traffic for the Louisiana Southern in Minden.
A night hike led me to this view of the sandstone formations at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. In the gulch the eroded ground was very hard as if packed by a steam roller. The mounds of sandstone are off limits to hiking. So with respect to the land, I snapped some panoramas from the gulch. The moon wasn't due out for another 2.5 to 3 hours, and the wind was picking up. It was getting colder and I was getting hungry.
A 5 shot panorama of the foreground with a 12mm ultra wide lens, and 10 shot panorama of the night sky shot at 28mm (DX) lens. The sky was shot at Mojave National Preserve in April 2017. The main foreground was shot in December 2015. Edited in Lightroom, auto stitched in Microsoft ICE, and layered in Corel Paintshop.
On a clear night in Death Valley a lot of stars appear after twilight. Even in Dec when most of the Milky Way is below the horizon, it's sill visible going across the sky.

Thanks for viewing.

Le beau Philémon...
Belle rencontre hier à Angrignon, Philémon s'est pointé à cette belle cavité, une des rares à faire face au Nord. Habituellement, les cavités font davantage face au Sud, et dans une moindre mesure face à l'Est ou à l'Ouest. Cette dernière avait été découverte, habitée par ce même Philémon, au printemps 2019 par mon grand ami Robert Dupont qui nous a quitté il y a maintenant deux ans, le 27 janvier 2023. Tu accompagnes encore en pensée souvent mes tournées mon cher ami. Il s'agissait de l'une de ses découvertes qui le rendaient le plus heureux, puisque c'est grâce à celle-ci que nous avions ensemble trouvé le lieu de la nichée d'Odi et Philémon peu de temps après. À ce jour, il s'agit d'ailleurs de la seule nichée de ce couple dont nous avons été en mesure d'observer le déroulement. Il y avait bien longtemps que je ne l'avais pas observé à cette cavité, ce beau mâle. Lorsqu'il est visible, nous le retrouvons plutôt depuis plusieurs mois au no 7 dans l'arbre surnommé le condo. Sa femelle Odi se fait quant à elle très discrète depuis deux ans, se présentant plutôt rarement à ses cavités connues. Intriguantes ses visites tant espacées...

Tenby Point on a cloudy afternoon. This was taken early afternoon which I am finding a good time for contrasty Black and white conversion. It was humid and things were building up to thunderstorms later in the afternoon. I was using a 6 stop ND filter to get a longer exposure and smooth out the water.

Noch zwei Monate sind es bis zum Beginn meiner Fotoausstellung (Natur und Menschenwerk).
Immer wieder bin ich auf der Suche nach Motiven, bei denen Natur verändert, verdrängt, kultiviert wird... zurück schlägt oder vereinnahmt.
In diesem Bild scheint es, als ob die Mauer mit den Fichten ein stillschweigendes Abkommen über eine friedliche Koexistenz geschlossen habe...
