Built in 1888 to make the entrance to the Milwaukee River, North Point Lighthouse was moved back and raised up in 1912 to its present location and height.
It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 and decommissioned as a lighthouse ten years later. It has been a maritime museum since 2007.
Point Lobos is the common name for the area including Point Lobos State Natural Reserve and two adjoining marine protected areas: Point Lobos State Marine Reserve (SMR) and Point Lobos State Marine Conservation Area (SMCA). Point Lobos is just south of the town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, United States on the coast of the Pacific Ocean but north of Big Sur.

Rawley Point Lighthouse Day, Friends of Point Beach State Forest hosted public tours of the keeper's quarters and lighthouse grounds. Coast Guard personnel and relatives of the last lighthouse keeper were on hand to share the rich history of the Rawley Point Lighthouse, Sunday, October 20, 2024.
At 111 feet tall, it is the tallest lighthouse on the Wisconsin Shore and it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

A study of broken glass. This took some engineering. Basically, what you're seeing is a broken piece of glass in between two other sheets of glass, allowing me to hold it up and shoot it with my macro lens and lit by my $2 LED flashlight. Let's hear it for DIY!
The Point - that's what the sign says. It is really part of Blue Rocks. It is the end of the road. And calling it a "road" is dignifying it. The roads in the area were designated a century before the horseless carriage. Very rocky area. Hard rock. A politician would have promised the locals that, if elected, he would see that the roads were paved. And they were. Pavement was applied directly to the rock, about as wide as the length of a car axial. That's the way it was done in the county next door, so I assume that's the way it was done here.
Lobster fishing appears to be the main industry judging from the traps piled up on the wharf. Tide's out and the small open boats are apparently for going to larger vessels which are anchored nearby - next picture. Bright, highly saturated colours are the order of the day as they are elsewhere in the area.
Also known as the Great Beach. It runs from the Point Reyes Lighthouse past McClures Beach to Tomales Point . Taken from path to Lighthouse
Coles Track on the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria, Australia was expanded to service a telephone wire to the Fort as part of Melbourne’s defence system during World War II. A number of German and Japanese destroyers, submarines, and other military craft, operated in Australian waters between 1940 and 1945, threatening the shipping industry and the war effort.
From Fort Nepean, you can look over the National Park and Port Phillip Bay.

Point Bonita Lighthouse shrouded in fog.
Unfortunately the fog made less than ideal photography conditions, but it was an interesting experience nonetheless. It also was an education moment because we learned why lighthouses are needed.
The hike to the lighthouse is only half a mile, but going back it's all uphill...
As of April 2011, the bridge to the lighthouse is closed. The rangers said it would possibly reopen in early 2012 after repairs are made.

Spurn Point is a three and half mile spit of sand and gravel that protects the Humber Estuary, now owned by the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust. Over time it has both increased in length and moved westwards, and always has been a danger to shipping. Over the years there have been various lighthouses on this site.
Two disused lighthouses remain at Spurn, the one on the left is what was called the Low Light and this is on the estuary side of the spit However when the present lighthouse was built in the late 1800's the low light was no longer needed. It has since been used as an explosive store and then later as a water tower. Now it stands deserted.
The present lighthouse (the one on the right hand side) on the North Sea side of the spit was designed by Thomas Matthews in 1895 and took nearly two years to build. It was last used in 1986. Currently the only warning light on Spurn today is a flashing green starboard light on the very end of the point .

I went to scout out some areas for later photo sessions today. My travels took me to the shores of Lake Erie, specifically to Rock Point Provincial Park, just South-East of Dunnville, Ontario. The point is aptly named, as the sedimentary rock shelves project out from the park into Lake Erie, representing a significant navigation hazard in the already very shallow lake. As luck would have it, Rock Point has a big boulder on the 'beach'. I believe it is an erratic, i.e a rock carried here by glacial action some 10,000 years (or so) ago. The composition of the rock appears to be granitic, unlike the local sedimentary rock formations. Mother nature was not particularly cooperative today, bringing periodic snow flurries in the sub-zero (Celsius) temperatures as heavy clouds obscured most of the sky, but kindly providing a small break for the small 'god-beam' phenomenon seen out over the lake. On the shore near the camera position, you can see a heavy deposit of what appears to be gravel, but which is, instead, shells of zebra-mussels. This invasive species is believed to have been introduced in ballast from European sea vessels in 1988 and now is well established in Lake Erie (among other lakes and waterways). - JW
Date Taken: 2014-12-29
Tech Details:
Taken using a tripod-mounted Nikon D7100 fitted with a Nikkor 12-24mm lense set to 12mm, ISO100, Aperture priority mode, f/11 (to get depth of field required), 1/80 sec. PP in free Open Source RAWTherapee: bring up shadows, reduce highlights slightly to preserve detail in 'god-beam' area, slightly increase black level, boost vibrance, apply noise reduction, sharpen. PP in free Open Source GIMP: load image twice as layers, bottom layer for sky and top layer for shore, adjust the shore layer tone curve to get a good looking shore area disregarding the impact on the sky, adjust the tone curve of the sky layer to get good contrast and highlights disregarding the impact on the shore area, use a soft edged eraser tool to remove the sky from the top/shore layer revealing the better sky in the layer below, create new working layer from the visible result, increase saturation to bring out the colours in the boulder, slightly boost contrast and reduce brightness to get a more natural (to me) look), sharpen, add fine black and white frame, add bar and text on left, scale to 1800 wide for posting.
