Neist Point Lighthouse, designed by David Alan Stevenson, was first lit on 1 November 1909. An aerial cableway is used to take supplies to the lighthouse and cottages. Since 1990, the lighthouse has been operated remotely from the Northern Lighthouse Board headquarters in Edinburgh.

I have shown pictures of this little lighthouse before this is Chanonry Point Lighthouse and it was designed and engineered by Alan Stevenson, 1846. This marvellous lighthouse is situated on the Moray Firth at the narrows between Chanonry Point and Fort George. The light was first exhibited on 15th May 1846 the light is now automatic. This is one of the best places to see dolphins but the day I visited I never saw any.

After the Endurance was wrecked in Weddell Sea ice in 1915, Ernest Shackleton and his crew took refuge at Point Wild, an inhospitable rocky spit on the north coast of Elephant Island, Antarctica.
The very tip of the western entrance to the Golden Gate is called Point Bonita and there is a lighthouse on the point.
I've done a complete story of this trip on Storehouse.co which is a great app for visual storytellers. Here's the link to mine:
Part of the western wall of the Palisades of the Desert, Comanche Point rises up like a recumbent lion, its head facing into the sun, the mighty Grand Canyon below at its feet. In the distance the gash of the Canyon of the Little Colorado River cuts across the plain, and the cliffs of the Paria Plateau catch the last sunlight.
A different view of the same lighthouse but without texture this time.
An other (kind of) "natural" HDR.. Not looking for a really tonnemapped look for this one either.
An HDR (5 shots blended in Photomatix) and a bit of color tweaking!! =)
Mainly using the "selective color" + "hue and saturation". I also did "Shadows and Highlights" and "Curves" adjustments. All that in CS3.
I don't like however how Flickr changes colors of photos!
Oh well...
Have a nice week-end!! : )
Landguard Point in Suffolk, UK. Sometimes it's noticing the little things next to the very big things they pay dividends. This twisted rope caught my eye as i walked down to the wrecked rail jetty. I stopped and weighed up the situation and decided i would commit my blue hour time to this comp over the iconic and ever popular jetty comp. For me this simple comp works perfectly, the twisted weathered rope and beach faded posts works so well with the swelling sea and pretty scattered cloud sky.

Point Iroquois Lighthouse
Bay Mills Township
Chippewa County
Michigan
A wooden lighthouse was established at Point Iroquois in 1855 in conjunction with the first commercial shipping on Lake Superior. Point Iroquois was named for the Iroquois warriors massacred by the Ojibway in 1662. The native Algonkin name for the Point is Nadouenigoning- -”Iroquois bones”.
The current Cape Cod Style lighthouse was built in 1870 with a fourth order Fresnel lens in a 65 foot / 20m tower, and was deactivated in 1962. The site is managed by the U.S Forest Service as part of the Hiawatha National Forest, and is open to the public. Point Iroquois is 20 miles / 32 km west of Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan.

Whitefish Point Lighthouse on Lake Superior. Just playing around and got the sun lined up with the lighthouse light. This was processed as an HDR image using Photomatix and 4 exposures.

Another re-edit of an old photo that I like. Though you can't see them in the photo, the mosquitos were unbelievably bad. A swarm of them all around me and I was completely unprepared wearing only shorts and a teeshirt. I literally shed blood for this photo!
The lighthouse dates to the 1860's. More than 200 shipwrecks have occurred nearby. The wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald made famous in a song by Gordon Lightfoot was a few miles offshore from this lighthouse. Due to all of the shipwrecks that have happened nearby, the "Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum" was built on the grounds of the lighthouse. A fascinating place to visit.
Canada’s Point Pelee National Park is situated in southwest Ontario near the town of Leamington. The very tip of the park extends out into Lake Erie and is the most southern part of mainland Canada.
Neist Point, this time in landscape orientation.
I like the colours on the lower cliff face and also that you can just see South Uist appearing on the horizon to the extreme right of shot.

Excerpt from tourismpei.com:
One of the Island`s most overwhelmingly beautiful locales, Point Prim offers visitors an enlightening view into the region`s past. Bordered by the sea on all sides, the narrow peninsula is home to the Polly Cemetery. Named after the ship which brought the first Scottish settlers to the Island, the cemetery is the final resting place for many of these same settlers. Point Prim Lighthouse, perched on the outer-most tip of the peninsula, is not only the Island`s oldest lighthouse but also the only circular brick lighthouse in Canada.
