Peggys Point Lighthouse, also known as Peggys Cove Lighthouse, is an active lighthouse and an iconic Canadian image. Located within Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia, it is one of the busiest tourist attractions in the province and is a prime attraction on the Lighthouse Trail scenic drive. The lighthouse marks the eastern entrance of St. Margarets Bay and is officially known as the Peggys Point Lighthouse.

We found this really great view at Gamboa Point on Highway No 1. I loved the lonely palm trees at the upper beach. In the background you can see the bridge over the Big Creek Cove.
We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch – we are going back from whence we came… John F. Kennedy
Point Atkinson Lighthouse was built in 1914 on granite boulders jutting out into Burrard Inlet in West Vancouver, Canada. The reinforced concrete structure replaces an earlier wood structure built in 1875. The concrete structure was considered at the time innovative in lighthouse design. It is now automated and still in use.
The Point Atkinson Lighthouse may be reached by hiking the Valley Trail in Lighthouse Park.

After finishing the lessons in Scott Kelby's "7-Point System for Adobe Photoshop CS3", I had to go back and revisit some of my older stuff.
I started with this JPG image, adjusted the foreground using Camera RAW and then made another image in Camera RAW and adjusted the sky.
I merged the two images in Photoshop and then darkened the sky, lightened the foreground, desaturated the blues and yellows a tad, etc.
It's not remotely realistic. The sky is pretty dark for an image that's looking right at the sun.
Oh... and if it looks familiar, it's because I did another HDR Version months ago.
The lighthouse at Hurst Point on a wet and windy day. Its a very interesting and atmospheric place near Milford On Sea on the south coast. There also Hurst Castle which is very interesting and great views of the Needles and the Isle Of Wight.
Shipwreck at Point Reyes, taken in the town of Inverness looking towards Tomales Bay. This is an old fishing boat called Point Reyes.
Taken along the point isabel to point richmond walkway on the east bay. It's wonderful how areas like this marshland still feel so wild. You can just see the bay bridge, and sf skyline on the far side.

Washington series: Ricksecker Point, Mount Rainier National Park.
🇺🇸 With a summit elevation of 4.394 m Mount Rainier is the highest mountain in the U.S. state of Washington and the Cascade Range. Due to its high probability of an eruption in the (relative) near future, Mount Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Late May many parts of the national park were still closed due to snow, the lakes were still frozen and spring had not really arrived.
🇩🇪 Mit einer Höhe von 4394 m ist Mount Rainier der höchste Berg in Washington und der Kaskadenkette. Ein Ausbruch in (relativ) naher Zukunft wird erwartet und macht Mt. Rainier zu einem der aktuell gefährlichsten Vulkane. Ende Mai waren große Teile des Nationalparks noch immer wegen Schneemassen gesperrt, die Seen waren immer noch zugefroren und der Frühling liess noch auf sich warten.
Over three hundred bird species pass through Point Pelee, the southernmost point in Canada, in May each year.... certainly a "Twitcher's" paradise!
The railing is quite functional but everything points to the old railway inn that used to service the old railway line that is no longer there. So the vanishing point form, the absence of colour and the meaning; the receeding past, seemed to align quite nicely.
From Chimney Rock Trail at Point Reyes National Seashore, this is the view looking east across Drake's Bay toward Mt. Tamalpais and Marin County. The actual chimney rock feature is just out of view behind the point in the center of this photo.

After 80 years, the SS Point Reyes, a photographer's destination, may finally be reaching her demise as storms approach. The recent weather has taken a toll and she doesn't have might fight left against the mighty ocean and winds.
This much photographed vessel was built in 1944 as a World War II launch boat to bring soldiers from aircraft carriers in the Bay Area to shore.
For more than 20 years it sat at this spot in Inverness, waiting for the owner to do a restoration. It never happened.
After tourists and photographers discovered the unique wreck, more damage was done by people climbing onboard. One photographer even started a fire as he attempted to get a shot with glowing sparks around her in the night.
If you search Flickr for The Point Reyes in Inverness, you'll find many photos of her over the years.

This is a very traditional view of the famous Neist Point Lighthouse on the Isle of Skye.
I had planned the timing of the shot and arrived about an hour before sunset. The aim was for a brilliant display of light shining under the low clouds and illuminating the face of the rocks in a deep orange and red and making the lighthouse shine a bright white. Alas the weather apparently didn’t get the memo and wasn’t playing ball with me that night.
Neist point is not an easy location to get to. It is about as remote a location as you can find on Skye and it takes quite a while to get there so it’s not a journey you want to take if you don’t think there is an image to be had at the end. The cloud had been thick all day and the hill near the view point was completely covered making it very difficult to get any shot. The mist was so thick that I had to wipe the camera and lens between every frame to keep it clear from moisture. Several shots were ruined due to spots on the lens and forget using filters because the water just kept getting between the panes. You might be thinking to yourself “With conditions like that why would you expect to see the sun at all?” Well the previous few evenings had been nice with low sunlight creating a beautiful effect on the hills if you were quick enough and in location when it happened. This was the first time I had managed to be on a site I specifically wanted to shoot. And you know, it was all so close to working out but the gap in clouds that did eventually appear was unfortunately just a few miles south around the bay and completely missed my goal. The distant hillsides to the south lit up like a fiery beacon in the gloom with a magnificent display of colour. I was standing there soaked, cold and with a horrible drip hanging from my nose asking myself, and anyone else sad enough to be within earshot, what I had done wrong to be taunted like this. So close and yet so far but I guess you can’t win them all.
