Along the rocky edge there at this location along the Grand Staircase level looking out over the snaking San Juan River and Monument Valley beyond.
We love the Sunshine Coast as it has long stretches of beautiful beaches. That bulk carrier offshore was waiting for the pilot to guide it into the Port of Brisbane, while the lifeguards were completing their afternoon training session in the surf, and we were waiting till it was time to go to our seafood restaurant for the evening.
There was only a moment of colour in what would be a rather grey sunset over looking Cootes Paradise.
Looking at one of the two points from the fractured lava flow on the other point at Iona's Beach Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) on Lake Superior, north of Two Harbors, Minnesota.
Once upon a time, this place was once the site of a charming mom & pop resort called Twin Points Resort. Iona Lind, her husband John and their children ran the resort for over 50 years. Iona kept on for a short time after her husband passed away in the 1980's.
When Iona died, she donated the land and it ended up in the hands of Minnesota's DNR.
Iona's Beach SNA is about halfway between Gooseberry Falls and Split Rock Lighthouse State Parks on Minnesota's legendary, historic Highway 61.
After a long day at work I was looking forward to sitting down and resting some while processing some of the weekend sunset captures ... especially on this rainy day in Maryland when I noticed some spotty sunlight around 7:30 this evening. I debated for several minutes if I wanted to head somewhere ... and was about to say no ... when Ms. Krach came home from dinner with a friend and told me to head down and see my dad ... and see what happens.
Glad I listened to her and headed down. As the sunlight was coming through the clouds I could not get through the traffic quick enough (people seem to drive always really SLOW in front of me when near sunset ;))
In any case I made it down to Middle River about 15 minutes before sunset ... and was snapping off some under the pier captures as the tide was really LOW and there was a pretty nice beach there, was when I noticed the incredible rainbow there. Snapped some from the beach, and will process them hopefully tomorrow after work ... but here is the view I took from out on the pier next to my Dad's pier that gives a nice view of the end of Wilson Point. Just happened to be Under the Rainbow perfectly there. Ms. Krach can be right 'every once in a while' ... heck, who am I kidding, she is ALWAYS RIGHT :))
This was captured with the 6 Stop ND to slow the shutter down for around 8 seconds, smoothing out the reflection just a little ... if you look close the sprinkling of rain that was happening while shooting this (and hence the rainbow) can be seen hitting the water making all the small rippled circles there in the extending exposure. Pretty cool effect.
This was probably taken a year ago. It is an american gated community on Canadian soil. Go figure. You must get permission at the gate to go to the lighthouse on foot or bike. I have been wanting for years to see this. It is fabulous. You can see Buffalo from this spot, albeit not in this image.
Take care my friendly Flickeroos.
This elevated viewpoint at 6433' is accessible by a high-clearance vehicle and offers dramatic views of Death Valley.

The Point Vicente Lighthouse was built in 1926 marking the north end of the treacherous Catalina Channel on the Pacific coast to warn mariners of rocky reefs along shoreline cliffs. Catalina Island in the background.
The original lighthouse at Point Wilson was built in 1879. The current structure was completed in 1904 and equipped with a fourth order Fresnel lens. It is located within the boundries of Fort Worden State Park near Port Townsend, Jefferson County, Washington and is maintained by the US Coast Guard. It was added to the National Resgister of Historic Places in 1971.

Le phare de la Vieille est un phare maritime du Finistère (France) construit de 1882 à 1887 sur le rocher de Gorlebella (« la roche la plus éloignée » en breton).
Il éclaire et sécurise fortement le passage dangereux du raz de Sein, de concert avec la tourelle de la Plate (cardinale ouest). Il est situé dans le raz de Sein à moins d'un mille marin à l'ouest de la pointe du Raz
