Always a good subject, the Point Fermin Lighthouse rarely takes a bad photo.
Built in 1874, this was the first navigational light on San Pedro Bay.
The Point Iroquois Light Station rests on a bluff above Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and stands watch where the lake begins its treacherous rush into the St. Mary's River. The Ojibwa Indians massacred a group of invading Iroquois warriors at this location in 1662, giving the point its name. It was noted by the early explorers, but did not become significant until the St. Mary's Falls Ship Canal opened in 1855. The Point Iroquois Light was first illuminated in 1857 and its Fourth Order Fresnel lens shone over one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world: the entrance to the St. Mary's River and the Soo Locks. Point Iroquois became busier with each passing year, and the personnel and facilities required to run the station grew accordingly. In 1870 the house and tower were completely rebuilt, and in 1902, a two-story rectangular brick house was added to the residence to provide housing for the assistant keeper at a total cost of $18,000. There was a group of children at the station and the government sponsored a school at the point. The children of local fishermen attended school here, so the point became a meeting place for local residents. For over 100 years the Point Iroquois Light performed its duties, but in 1962 its light was extinguished in favor of a beacon farther out in the water. Today, the lighthouse and 65 foot tower have been renovated thanks to the cooperative efforts of the Bay Mills/Brimley Historical Research Society and the National Forest Service. Much of the station has been converted into an excellent maritime museum and it has been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Old Point Loma Lighthouse
Cabrillo National Monument
San Diego, California
While in the San Diego area a week before Christmas, we drove to Old Point Loma Lighthouse and Cabrillo National Monument on the west side of San Diego Bay, both on the National Register of Historic Places (Cabrillo National Monument, 66000224; Old Point Loma Light, 74000350). This shot of the lighthouse across a ravine was taken from near the Cabrillo Monument, and the preceding shot showing the statue at the monument above San Diego Bay was taken from near the lighthouse.
Point Loma Lighthouse was authorized 1851, the year after California became part of the United States, constructed in 1854, and first lit in late 1855 (the third-order Fresnel lens was not ready earlier). The site, about 420 feet above sea level, had seemed ideal for the lighthouse, but low-hanging clouds and fog often obscured the light; as a result, it was replaced by a new lighthouse at a lower elevation in 1891. The old lighthouse was restored in the 1930s, and the assistant keeper's house and storeroom on the south side of the lighthouse was rebuilt about 10 years ago.

Bobcat near the Bear Valley Visitors Center turning back to look at me when I stepped on a stick I didnt notice because my eye was in the viewfinder, Point Reyes National Seashore.
Point Park lies at the northern end of Lookout Mountain, overlooking the city of Chattanooga and the Tennessee River.
The business end of a ball point pen. In the original size you can see me and the camera reflected in the ball.
Thanks to Ryan for the use of his super-spiff 70-180mm macro lens.

A tad too small to make a squircle out of this. I'll need an even bigger lens!

Taken at 12mm... obviously the reason for the distortion.

Note, this is a "cross view" stereo image - to see it in 3D, you need to cross your eyes so that you see 3 images, then look at the one in the middle.
This bone is of course far too large to be used for the purpose and the obvious victim has already been turned to stone.....
The Australian Aborigines have used the hypnotic trance-state for thousands of years. Aborigines are still known to perform crude operations- amputations etc and have even practiced birth control by hypnosis. The Aboriginal witch doctor would induce a trance state by pointing the bone of a kangaroo's leg at the guilty one. Aborigines believed that the bone entered their body and within ten days the accused actually died. In actual fact he had been willed to die.

Not so sure what I saw qualified as some "supermoon," I've seen larger moons in the past. Nevertheless it was a nice moonrise right close to sunset and it positioned itself neatly near Point Judith Lighthouse. It was a pleasant evening and there were loads of people out enjoying the moonrise. If only mosquitoes would go extinct...

Sundown over the Point Arena Lighthouse.
The Point Arena Lighthouse stands tall and proud on the Mendocino Coast in Northern California.
This is the third lighthouse on this point. The original lighthouse was destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
Its lantern room once housed a First Order Fresnel lens.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.
This is the Marshall Point Lighthouse, in Port Clyde, Maine. It was featured in the movie Forrest Gump :)
