This area is just downstream and on a side channel from the main falls of Great Falls National Park. These rocks are pointing in the direction of the main channel of the Potomac River just below the main falls. The water level is low and has exposed this outcropping of rocks in the river.

A couple weeks before, a powerful and damaging storm blew through Northern Michigan littering this picturesque beach with logs, limbs and vegetation. On this day, a good blow that was an absolute "cream-puff" compared to the previous one, transformed the turquoise waters this stretch is known for into a milk chocolate colored sand slurry.

The Point Cabrillo Lighthouse complex is located about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of Mendocino, California, and includes the lighthouse itself together with several outbuildings. Most of the original structures remain, but the barn is missing: in 1986 it was destroyed in a fire department exercise.[1] The remaining lighthouse station is "one of the most complete light stations in the United States".[2]
Atop the lighthouse spins a third order Fresnel lens with four panels containing 90 lead glass prisms and weighing 6800 pounds, constructed by Chance Brothers, an English company, and shipped to Point Cabrillo around Cape Horn. The light is only 32 feet (9.8 m) above the ground, but because of the height of the headlands it stands 81 feet (25 m) above sea level. It was originally lit by a kerosene lamp and turned by a clockwork mechanism but this was replaced by an electric light and motor in 1935. The present light uses a single 1000-watt electric filament, the light from which is magnified by a factor of one thousand by the lens, and spins once every 40 seconds producing a flash every 10 seconds.[1]

Shichirigahama (七里ヶ浜) is a beach near Kamakura, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan, which goes from Koyurigimisaki Cape, near Fujisawa, to Inamuragasaki Cape, west of Kamakura. Since one could enjoy a clear view of Mount Fuji and Enoshima from there, during the Edo period it was famous as a subject for ukiyo-e.
The beach's (Shichirigahama Beach) name means "Seven Ri Beach", where a ri is an old Japanese unit of measurement equivalent to 3.9 km.

Today was a challenging aerial filming day but I'll get into that on a later post. I did manage to take a regular photo from the ground in between some serious sky surfing.
Blue Angel F18 NO.6 plane crashed here in early June 2016. Between two slave cabins, from the past, on the Sam Davis State Historical Site near Smyrna, TN. After restoration of the site you can see a treeline in the background (1700 ft.) where it finally stopped.
I went back to the area where I saw the big 6pt for lunch. All I saw there were two fawns. The wind and cover were right for an approach to a pine thicket so I hoofed it over there for a look. I glassed a dark racked 10pt with a doe so I tried to slip in behind them undetected. This guy stepped into a patch of sunlight and blocked my approach.
There is no weather or time of year when Point Reyes is anything less than magical.

This is one of those location which will simply leave you speechless. Ocean, rocks, grass, lighthouse, everything seems to be in the right place. I've been standing on the edge of the cliff for more than two hours enjoying the show. For those who haven't been there yet, I strongly advice to visit this magical place.

Nugget Point is located on New Zealand's East Coast. The conditions were not great for us on this morning, but I had a great time just sitting alone in my little elevated spot, watching the sun come up.
This tiny cyclamen shows its stem and the pollen. Straight out of the camera, lit with a camping led-light. Taken with Raynox 250 mm on a 200 mm telelens. This flower is tiny; the thumb is already bigger than reality. Best viewed large

Greenigoe Taing looking northwards. The sea gulls were a nuisance at the time but they do make the shot a little different with their trails.
