Tacking Point Lighthouse is Australia's thirteenth oldest lighthouse.
It was built on a rocky headland about 8 kilometres south of Port Macquarie in 1879.
Grazing in a cemetery across the street from the Point Pinos Lighthouse in Pacific Grove, California.
When getting to this location I realised that I had forgotten to charge the battery up for my camera which lead me to experiment with my mobile.
This enabled me a certain freedom with my expectations, so I started to wonder around to see what I could capture. This seen I found to be rather moody and spoke to me a lot.

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!! : )

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.
So I rose early to visit Point Arkwright on the Sunshine Coast, and this is what it looked like before the sun rose...behind a cloud. I thought about replacing the sky with a more colorful one from after sunrise, but (a) I'm not sure I *want* to do this and (b) I'm not sure I *can* do this. At least I put a big rock in the foreground of my wide-angle shot for once. :-) Perhaps you should just look at Matt's great photo instead!

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.

A dog walk at Lighthouse Park took me to Point Atkinson and this photo of the backlit hexagonal concrete 1912 lighthouse with the Strait of Georgia and the mountains of Vancouver Island in the background, West Vancouver, BC.

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.

Yesterday morning I was up at 6am and out the door for a drive up to Start Point near Kingsbridge in Devon. It was a bit of a horrible drive through loads of little country lanes but It was worth it just for the views. It was windy as hell when I got there and the sky was grey and dull with just the tiniest glint of sunshine on the far horizon. I took a couple of shots then had a walk around the coastal path. It's a great location and one I'll definitely revisit!
