The Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, on a foggy June morning.
Its Third Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1909, and this lighthouse has served as an aid to mariners ever since.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
The kite, the kite string, and the camera - Ricoh GR II - were all drenched in condensation when I brought everything down. The camera still works fine.
If you've ever walked the Gorge trail at Point Lookout on Stradbroke island, and heard what sounds like a whale's blowhole, this formation is the cause of that sound!

Located at the western entrance to Admiralty Inlet (the waterway that connects the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Puget Sound), the current Point Wilson Lighthouse is second lighthouse built in this location. The first one was built in 1879 as a companion to the Admiralty Head Lighthouse that was built 18 years earlier on the eastern side of Admiralty Inlet. The current lighthouse was completed in 1914.
This is another one of my favourites from Point Arkwright. The light was so beautiful this morning! The colour of the water was a beautiful turquoise.

Ruins of Fort Crown Point, built by British and provincial troops on Lake Champlain in 1759 to guard against French invasion from Canada. A fire destroyed the fort in 1773, leaving only stone officers and soldiers barracks and earthen fortifications behind. During the Revolutionary War the fort was held first by the Americans and then by the British, who abandoned it in 1780, after which it was left to decay. Today the preserved ruins are part of the Crown Point State Historic Site in Crown Point, New York.
Built in 1877 on top of a very narrow rocky point about two miles west of the Golden Gate Bridge near San Francisco, California.
A trip to Carmel, California meant a visit to Point Lobos, and an attempt at some Edward Weston-inspired photos of the famous state park.
Point Reyes is a prominent cape on the Pacific coast of northern California. It is located in Marin County approximately 30 mi (48 km) WNW of San Francisco. The term is often applied to the Point Reyes Peninsula, the promontory bounded from Tomales Bay on the northeast and Bolinas Lagoon on the southwest. The headland is protected as part of Point Reyes National Seashore.
The cape protects Drakes Bay on its southern side. The headland is largely drained by Drakes Estero. Inverness Ridge runs along the peninsula's northwest-southeast spine, with forested peaks around 430 meters (1,400 feet). West of the ridge, the land flattens out and the vegetation turns to scrub. The Mount Vision Fire in 1995 burned part of Inverness Ridge.
The peninsula is a popular recreational destination for the nearby San Francisco Bay Area, especially for hiking on its many trails and sea kayaking the shores of Tomales Bay and the coast.
Vegetation native to Point Reyes includes Bishop pine, Douglas-fir, coyote brush, monkeyflower, poison oak, California blackberry, salal and coast redwood, among others.
During the Cold War, submarines repaired at Mare Island Naval Shipyard were tested in the shallow waters off Point Reyes following shipyard repairs. Navy safety personnel used a small monitoring and communications hut on the peninsula for monitoring submarines during these sea trials.
Point Reyes Lighthouse was used as the radio station for Antonio Bay in the John Carpenter film "The Fog".
Point Reyes lends its name to the town of Point Reyes Station, California.

Nugget point may not be the southernmost point on New Zealand but it is on the south end on the south island and there ahead there is nothing until you reach Antarctica.
It is the golden hour and the sun's light warms the scene while the waves roll in.
You should really watch this Large On Black since that brings out much more details. My pictures aren't balanced for a white background and a lot of the finer details are lost in this small format.

Point Cook Homestead..
In 1853 the pastoralist Thomas Chirnside added the farmlands of Point Cook to his holdings. He built the famous Point Cook Homestead of twenty-five rooms in 1857. Initially Point Cook was an important segment of the expanding pastoral empire established by Thomas and his brother Andrew. As their extensive land holdings were developed substantial homesteads were later constructed at Werribee Park, Carranballac, Mount Williams and Curnong..
.
Due to the Chirnside brothers' deep interest in hunting, deer and foxes were introduced to Point Cook in the 1850s. As early as 1859 members of the Melbourne Hunt Club and the Geelong & District Hunt Club were invited to hunt at Point Cook. In the early 1860s Thomas Chirnside imported valuable horses for the breeding at Point Cook. The property was said to have three racetracks. The Chirnsides became one of Victoria's prominent pastoral families, entertaining the colonial gentry and organising sporting functions for their guests at Point Cook.
Taken from Fort Point on the same evening as the below posted shots. This was my first evening in Northern CA, and I was happy that the nice (but cool) weather followed me the entire week.
Thanks for looking!

Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are close to the northern extremity of the same peninsula. The cape is located at 34°21′26″S 18°29′51″ECoordinates: 34°21′26″S 18°29′51″E, about 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi) east and a little north of the Cape of Good Hope on the southwest corner.[1] Although these two rocky and beautiful capes are very well-known, neither cape is actually the southernmost point in Africa; that is Cape Agulhas, approximately 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast.
Map showing the Cape Peninsula, illustrating the positions of the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point.
The peak above Cape Point is higher than that above the Cape of Good Hope. The rugged sandstone (Table Mountain sandstone) ridge that rises from Cape Point at sea level develops into two peaks. There is a major peak that dominates the skyline locally but there is also a smaller peak about 100 m further south. The higher peak has the old lighthouse on the top. The Flying Dutchman Funicular runs from a car park to the north up to slightly below the level of the old lighthouse and a short flight of steps leads to a viewing platform at the base of the lighthouse. From the end of the railway a second path leads to the lower peak.
The new lighthouse is at a lower elevation (closer to sea level), for two reasons: the old lighthouse could be seen 'too early' by ships rounding the point towards the east, causing them to approach too closely. Secondly, foggy conditions often prevail at the higher levels, making the older lighthouse invisible to shipping. On 18 April 1911, the Portuguese liner Lusitania was wrecked just south of Cape Point at 34°23′22″S 18°29′23″E on Bellows Rock for precisely this reason, prompting the relocation of the lighthouse.
The new location cannot be seen from the West until ships are at a safe distance to the South. The light of the new Cape Point lighthouse is the most powerful on the South African coast, with a range of 63 kilometres (39 mi) and an intensity of 10 megacandelas in each flash.[2]
Cape Point is situated within the Table Mountain National Park, within a section of the Park referred to as Cape of Good Hope. This section covers the whole of the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula and which takes in perhaps 20% of its total area.[3] The Cape of Good Hope section of the park is generally wild, unspoiled and undeveloped and is an important haven for seabirds. The vegetation at Cape Point consists primarily of Peninsula Sandstone Fynbos.
View over Cape Point; the lighthouse's white dome is just visible. The Cape of Good Hope is behind the camera.
Cape Point is often mistakenly claimed to be the place where the cold Benguela Current of the Atlantic Ocean and the warm Agulhas Current of the Indian ocean collide. In fact, the meeting point fluctuates along the southern and southwestern Cape coast, usually occurring between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point. The two intermingling currents help to create the micro-climate of Cape Town and its environs. Contrary to popular mythology, the meeting point of the currents produces no obvious visual effect; there is no "line in the ocean" where the sea changes colour or looks different in some way. There are, however, strong and dangerous swells, tides and localized currents around the point and in adjacent waters. These troubled seas have witnessed countless maritime disasters in the centuries since ships first sailed here.
Fishing is good along the coast but the unpredictable swells make angling from the rocks very dangerous. Over the years scores of fishermen have been swept to their deaths from the rocky platforms by freak waves. False Bay, which opens to the east and north of Cape Point, is the location of the well-known naval port of Simon's Town. The bay is also famous - or infamous - for its great white sharks, which hunt the Cape Fur Seals that live in the area.
Cape Point is the site of one of the Global Atmosphere Watch's atmospheric research stations. In the early years of the 20th century icebergs from Antarctica were occasional spied from Cape Point. Whether there have been any authentic recent sightings of ice in this age of global warming is difficult to establish.
Dusk, Point Iroquois Lighthouse, 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, Michigan / Gros Cap, Ontario mark the boundary between the St. Marys River and Whitefish Bay / 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
Point Abino lighthouse is located on the North shore of Lake Erie just West of Crystal Beach, Ontario. The lighthouse sits on the tip of a peninsula that projects into the Lake and, for most of its life, warned sailing vessels of the treacherous hidden rock shelves. Now decommissioned and turned into a historic site with tours provided several times a year by a local preservation group, it remains a largely inaccessible property due to restricted access by road. Most of the peninsula is held by a local property association and the access agreement kindly provides foot access but only between Victoria Day (3rd week of May) and Labour day (1st week of September) as well as special tour dates organized by the preservation group, the Point Abino Lighthouse Preservation Society, www.facebook.com/groups/1042270832482658/ . This image is of the lighthouse as seen from just ashore of the edge of Lake Erie (waves were lapping at my feet) and looks more-or-less Northeast. This was taken on the last tour of the 2016 season and the property is not accessible to visitors until next spring unless they come in by water. - JW

Built in 1856 on the south shore of Lake Superior, the Point Iroquois Lighthouse is located near Bay Mills, Michigan, USA
The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Northern California Mendocino Coast.
This lighthouse was built in 1908 to replace an earlier version after the original brick lighthouse was damaged beyond repair in the Great San Francisco Earthquake.
Constructed of reinforced concrete, this lighthouse was built by a company that specialized in smokestacks, which is why it looks like one.
At 115 feet tall, the Point Arena Lighthouse is the tallest lighthouse on the U.S West Coast (tied with Pigeon Point)
Point Arena is the closest point to Hawaii on the U.S. mainland, which makes this as close as I will probably ever get to Hawaii.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
