Views of Long Point Lighthouse from the Provincetown waterfront. These views are looking slightly East of South from Fanizzi's Restaurant. The sun was setting and I am zoomed in as much as I could.
(I didn't have my long lens in the restaurant - These are highly cropped, but I'm keeping for the light and color!)

Waves breaking on Red Point, Port Kembla. Red Point was named by lieutenant James Cook in 1770 because of soil colour.
This little kitty was a long way off, so I couldn't get a great shot, but its the first cat in the wild I have ever captured.
Dolphin Point is a new addition to the Residential District, comprising five towers of differing sizes housing plush new apartments on a 1/2 block footprint. The eponymous Dolphin is a feature sculpture in the communal gardens at the front, and has quickly become a local landmark. Ref: D1548-098

(I guess technically the lump of rock in the image really is Mather Point, since I was standing at Yaki Point at the time)
Sunset at Point Vicente on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in the Los Angeles area. On this mostly clear day, Catalina island was very visible in the distance. A beautiful spot indeed.

"The Point Hicks Lighthouse was built in 1887-88, and was first lit in May 1890. In a break with tradition at the time, the tower was constructed of concrete. The two keepers quarters were built from timber.
The kerosene lamp and clock mechanism were upgraded to electric operation with the connection of mains power in 1965. The light was more recently converted to solar power.
The lighthouse is believed to be haunted by the ghost of former Lightkeeper Christofferson.
A unusual feature of the light tower is its cast iron spiral staircase, which has162 steps cantilevered from the walls, rather than the traditional stone steps which are built around a central column.
Originally access to Point Hicks was by sea. In 1920 a return trip, by land to Cann River, 47 kilometres away from the light station, took two days. By 1946 the journey had been reduced to 36 hours by a combination of horse and jeep. During the early 1950s it was still a 12-hour ordeal. Today, the journey is possible in 50 minutes but is still treated with respect.
The light was known as Cape Everard from 1843 until 1970 when it was changed back to Point Hicks. It seem that there was some doubt to whether this was Cook's first landfall in Australia, in 1770, because Cook had not taken account of crossing the International Date Line when recording his log. Therefore it was not challenged when the cape was latter named Everard. In the lead up to Cooks bi-centenary research was undertaken and the case was presented successfully to restore the rightful name.
The area remains largely unchanged from the time it was first sighted back in 1770."

The tide at its lowest was -1.27 this evening which made for more exposed rocks and wonderful reflections. We began our day with the sunset light and shot well into the evening - a sample of which can be found in the photograph of the Pierce Point Barn posted just before this photograph.

Something I'd not come across before. Someone has used the trig point at the western end of Bradwell Moor as the basis for a seat. It was a bit too wet to try out though!
The Turon at Lucky Point, quiet now but once thousands of hopeful diggers crowded the banks.
"The price of gold now on the river is considerably on the decline, £3 2s. to, in some cases, £3 3D. per ounce being the highest price now obtainable here. Mr. Greer yesterday gave £150 for a claim on Lucky Point, and a party there was offered £10 per foot frontage, but refused it. At Monday Point £1200 was offered and refused for a claim ; but the diggings there are decidedly the richest as far as they have been worked, that have yet been discovered on the river."

When using the CPI/RPI, the (average) value in 2017 of £1 from 1850 is $135.00.

That's $1350 per 30 cm of river bank in today's money!

Been dying to see this place, and on my way back to Los Angeles from Santa Cruz, I made a stop and couldn't believe how beautiful it was. It has a very unique environment, which makes it thrive with life and one of the only places in California with water as blue as it is.

A man in holiday attire gives directions to a pedestrian in Manhattan.
This photograph was what I think of as a classic street photography "snap," grabbed quickly while on the move past the subjects on a Manhattan sidewalk. Based on my recall of the moment and the low position of the camera, it is pretty likely that I make the exposure without even raising the camera to my eye, possibly not having time to do so and/or wanting to avoid creating my own intrusion on the scene.
If you like such subjects, there are a lot of different ways to "see" them as photographs. In this one there is the unusual attire of the fellow, who I suspect is a security guard working outside this building — during the holiday season such people must occasionally wear bright red shirts, Santa hats, and holiday light necklaces, which is not your typical security guard attire. He looms large in the frame — he is taller than the women, she stands further away and to the side, and his pointing motion gives him an active demeanor. I also like certain compositional aspects of the photograph, and I simply find the two people to be fascinating.

Ex RN Supply ship 'Hartland Point' (1945) at Birkenhead Dock - with IOM ship 'Snaefell' (1948) .Both were to be scrapped in the next few months. 29/7/78.
My first attempt at HDR. (The lighthouse is located on the Beecroft Peninsula in New South Wales, Australia).
So a lot of people in the NW will time and again talk about how "everything is great," or "I love it all," or "I do not have a favorite."
Well..
I do love it all, but I also do have a favorite place. And this is it. It is the Artist Point/ Heather Meadows area. It is home to great views of Mount Baker, Mount Shuksan, and my personal favorite, Table Mountain. This place is beautiful, and reachable any time of the year as long as you are at least a little determined.
It changes with the seasons, from seas of white in the winter, to fields of copper, red, and orange in the fall. Summer brings out a collection of lakes and tarns on which the mountains can be seen reflecting.
I have spent days, and nights up here, and have never once left disappointed.
This is my favorite plasce in the world.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Located 19 miles south of Carmel, Point Sur State Historic Park is the site of one of two remaing complete lighthouses in the US.
It has remained in continuous operation since August 1, 1889. It is only open via certain times for guided tours led by volunteers.
