The Point Atkinson Lighthouse is located in West Vancouver, B.C. at the entrance to Burrard Inlet and the harbour at the Port of Vancouver. The first lighthouse at the site was ccmissioned in 1875 and sits on Point Atkisnson which was named by Captain George Vancouver for a friend. It was replaced in 1912 by the current lighthouse which stands 18 metres (60 feet) tall. The station remains active but was automated in 1996. The land surrounding the lighthouse is now the 190 acre Lighthouse Park.
Having reached Prawle Point my next focus is Start Point which can be seen in the very distance of this shot.
Many ships have been wrecked at Prawle Point, the most recent being in December, 1992, when the ship Demetrios, formerly the Long Lin from China was being towed by a tug from Dunkirk to a Mediterranean scrapyard. During terrible gales in the English Channel, the tow broke and the Demetrios drifted helplessly. The ship struck the rocks at Prawle Point on 18 December, breaking her back in a few hours. The wreck attracted huge crowds for many weeks, and eventually a local salvage company cut up the ship and towed away the remains to Plymouth. However, the cost of scrapping the ship sent them into liquidation. Some remains were, however left over and are still visible today.

Arrowsic Island, Maine.
"Squirrel Point Light is a lighthouse marking the southwestern point of Arrowsic Island on the Kennebec River. It was established in 1898, as part of a major upgrade of the river's lights — the Doubling Point Light and the separate Range Lights on the point, Perkins Island Light, and Squirrel Point Light were all built at the same time. The light station was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as Squirrel Point Light Station on January 21, 1988.
Arrowsic Island is a large island on the Mid Coast of Maine, bounded by a number of tidal rivers. The main one, the Kennebec River, is on the west side of the island, flowing south from the major port and shipbuilding city of Bath to the Gulf of Maine. Squirrel Point is the southwestern tip of the island. The light station at Squirrel Point includes a tower, keeper's house, barn, boathouse, and oil house. The tower is an octagonal wood-frame structure, with the lantern house topped by a ventilator and surrounded by an iron railing and wooden bracketed gallery. A gabled sound signal chamber is attached to one side. The keeper's house is a two-story wood-frame structure with a cross-gable roof.
The United States Congress authorized improvements to the aids to navigation on the Kennebec River in 1895, and this station was built under that authorization in 1898. The oil house was added in 1906, and the station was automated in 1982. (Wikipedia)
The U.S. Coast Guard, which owns the property, has granted the Citizens for Squirrel Point a license to provide access to the site for the benefit of the public and maritime industry for purposes consistent with the repair, maintenance and historic restoration of the facility."

"The antisolar point is the imaginary point on the celestial sphere exactly opposite the Sun. The apex of a rainbow will also form roughly 42 degrees above the location of the antisolar point."
I have never witnessed such intense color in a rainbow so I was likely close to this point. On my way home after shooting, the setting sun must have contributed to the colors as well. The colors in the rainbow effected the entire area and it didn't take much effort to find an interesting farmland to help the shot.

Brush Creek Falls
Mercer County
Although it's one of my favorite waterfalls in West Virginia, I had never been totally satisfied with many of my images taken here. During last years Autumn season, I visited here on several occasions and decided to skip the usual compositions; I waded across the creek and scrambled up to this vantage point for a unique point of view of this beautiful waterfall. I now have several images that I'm quite happy with! As always, thanks for looking and your comments are much appreciated.

Mineral Point, settled by English miners from Cornwall, has signs of more modern English artifacts....or is this just Doctor Who dropping in for a quick visit.....hmmmmmmmm. I always enjoy the unexpected and interesting things discovered when exploring a cities back road and alleys in the early morning.
Wow...It feels like forever since I last uploaded an image here & it felt so good to dust the camera off & get to the coast to shoot.
Life has been so busy with work, family, running(7 weeks till my first marathon) & the dog.
The camera has spent sometime in the bag & then last week while on some time off work we decided to spend a few days at Point Lookout on North Stradbroke Island. The first morning I spent running, it's a rather interesting way of scouting spots, but I did come across some very nice beaches with some cool rocks, the next morning was the cameras turn, out of bed early & down 220 stairs before a walk along the beach in the dark. the light started on the horizon with some colour but soon faded to a dull grey, I looked down to get a filter from my camera bag & this is what I got when I looked up!! Hope you like it & have a great week!! Sorry I haven't been around much but I will try & get a look at your pics when I have more time.
Port Townsend has along maritime history. This lighthouse protects ships entering from the Strait of Juan de Fuca and the Pacific Ocean.

Point Pinos Lighthouse was lit in 1855 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the oldest continuously operating lighthouse on the West Coast of the United States and even the lens is original. Alcatraz Island Lighthouse preceded Point Pinos by 8 months, but was replaced in 1909 by the expanding military prison. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Museum exhibits and other functions are operated by the city of Pacific Grove, Monterey County, California. The lighthouse is surrounded by the Pacific Grove Municipal Golf Links.

"A much-photographed Tomales Bay icon, the derelict fishing boat the Point Reyes, was severely damaged by a mysterious fire early Monday morning, and comments from angry Inverness residents are burning up social media over the loss of this beloved local landmark."

This is the scene that greeted me as I arrived, gasping for air, after my 5 hour hike. This was also right about the time that I glanced down and noticed my Nikkor 28-300 VR lens lazily rolling by right before it jumped off the 2000 foot precipice directly in front of me.
Off to the far right you can see Eagle Peak which was my objective for the day. I realized, as I collapsed at the top of the falls, that there was no way in **** that I was going to be able to keep going the additional 3 miles out to the peak, but I noticed some people standing above the falls at Yosemite Point and decided that would have to do instead. I'm glad that I had just enough left in me to make it the last mile up to the point or I would have missed out on the mid Summer light hitting the Southern side of the Valley just as the sun was beginning to set. Grey clouds had been around for most of the day, so I was smiling in spite of the fact that I couldn't breathe as I arrived and saw the clouds breaking up. After taking a barrage of shots, I thought I would try a pano resulting in the 14 shot attempt that you see here, taken with the Nikkor 14-24. From left to right you can see Half Dome, Liberty Cap, Glacier Point, Senitnel Dome, and the back side of the three brothers, including Eagle Peak. El Capitan would be behind the three brothers on the right. You can also see that cursed trail on which I hauled my self up, nearly killing me between my D4, multiple lenses, my tripod, and two liters of water. I swear there must have been around 285 switchbacks. I stopped counting after 100 and something. Or maybe it was only 75. All I know is that hikers kept telling me it was just ahead, and it never was!
I'm hoping to set out for Eagle Peak at some point in the not too distant future, but next time, I'll be packing a micro 4/3rds camera and a gorilla pod. :)
Pigeon Point Light Station or Pigeon Point Lighthouse is a lighthouse built in 1871 to guide ships on the Pacific coast of California. It is the tallest lighthouse (tied with Point Arena Light) on the West Coast of the United States. It is still an active Coast Guard aid to navigation. Pigeon Point Light Station is located on the coastal highway (State Route 1), 5 miles (8 km) south of Pescadero, California, between Santa Cruz and San Francisco. The 115-foot (35 m), white masonry tower, resembles the typical New England structure.

Wind Point Lighthouse, Wisconsin. 4-2-2018.
I had to drive close to an hour on icy county roads with occasional detours due to road closures to get to this location. It was worth it.

The interior of Fort Point echoes with history and emptiness now, but is open to visitors and photographers like our group of Flickr friends who prowled the rooms and passageways last Saturday, sizing up the photo ops and trying out various ideas or POVs. I didn't mind practicing with my tripod here, for some reason. Usually I prefer to keep moving, but this is a place to take your time and consider the light, the angles, and most of all the character of the scene.
