Minnesota Point, or Park Point, is a long, narrow peninsula that extends out from the Canal Park area of Duluth, Minnesota, USA and separating Lake Superior from Superior Bay. Minnesota Point is approximately 7 miles in length, and when included with Wisconsin Point, which extends 3 miles out from Superior, Wisconsin, is reported to be the largest freshwater sandbar in the world at a total of 10 miles. Due to the short and easy portage across Minnesota Point, the Ojibwa name for the City of Duluth is Onigamiinsing ("at the little portage"). Since the digging of an artificial canal in 1870-71 Minnesota Point is technically an island, connected to the rest of the city of Duluth since 1905 by the Aerial Bridge. At the end of Minnesota Point is a small airport, Sky Harbor.
After a flood Sam found a spear point on a sandbar in Nitmiluk Katherine Gorge. We passed it on to the Jawoyn custodians of the area.

Massively popular, Sandy Point often requires temporary closures during summer months. In 2015, the park reached capacity every single weekend from Memorial Day-Labor Day.

It was great to watch the waves, also liked the fact we had nice blue skies and the sun was shining. This is taken from the back of the Stoer Lighthouse
Tacoma'a big rain-foresty park, Point Defiance Park, is a wonderful place and better, I think, than Seattle's equivalent, Discovery Park. Though perhaps not quite to the level of Vancouver's Stanley Park, it is still a magical place to spend some time.
Point Imperial is the highest point in Grand Canyon National Park. Located on the North Rim, it is the highest point in the park at 8803 feet above sea level. It's very windy but it's very worth the wake up.
Mohave Point has a fine view of the near vertical, 3,000 foot high cliffs that encircle The Abyss and continue towards Pima Point, two miles west. Beyond, further to the west, are three of the next points (Yuma, Cocopa, Havasupai), fading into the distance. Below the huge cliffs, about half a mile of river is visible, including Boucher Rapids and Granite Rapids, at the end of Monument Creek which occupies most of the near ground. In the east, the ridge extending from Hopi Point blocks some of the canyon, so the panorama starts with Bright Angel Canyon on the North Rim, and includes Ninetyone Mile Creek, Trinity Creek and Ninteyfour Mile Creek. Directly below Mohave Point is a distinctive red sandstone mesa with jagged edges, known as The Alligator.
I couldn't have positioned this man better if I tried:-)
Once again I don't like the sun flare, but couldn't miss this shot.
The whole of Tigne Point was closed last time and the original houses where Helen used to live were cleared and the new apartment blocks started. Now complete and occupied even the hotel we stayed in, the old Fortina has been replaced by the new Fortina, which includes apartments and the European offices of Stoke based betting compnay Bet365.com
Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park
In 1852 Colonel James Whiteside built a road from the north end of Lookout Mountain to his property at the top, then called Point Lookout. The ride up took four hours in a buggy with a good horse, but the view was stunning. In 1857 Col. Whiteside added a hotel that would be destroyed during the Civil War.
A few days after the battle of Chickamauga the Army of Tennessee retook Lookout Mountain and used it as an observation post and to fire on Chattanooga, Tennessee. Confederate artillery from Point Lookout was largely ineffective. After the Union Army successfully completed the "Cracker Line" the position became a target. On November 24, 1863 General Joseph Hooker launched an attack that would become known as the "Battle Above The Clouds." Although no fighting actually took place in Point Park a Confederate artillery battery did fire on Union soldiers, who were sweeping the mountainside during The Battle of Lookout Mountain.
Although the mountaintop remained relatively quiet after the Civil War, in 1879 a second toll-road was completed and a building boom ensued. By the mid-1890's there were a number of alternate routes to the top of Lookout Mountain including Inclines (Incline Railway) and two railroads (a broad gauge and narrow gauge), and a number of hotels and rooms.
Point Park was completed in 1905 to commemorate the Battle Above the Clouds" as part of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park. Land on the mountainside, acquired by the publisher of the Chattanooga Times, Adolph S. Ochs, from Col. Whiteside's family and the family of Robert Cravens comprised a significant portion of the Chickamauga-Chattanooga National Military Park on Lookout Mountain, although it is not technically part of Point Park. Ochs then donated the land to the government for the memorial. Cravens House is also a part of the park and can be reached by road or trails.
Inside Point Park are numerous monuments to the men who fought and died. The New York Peace Memorial features a Union and a Confederate soldier shaking hands. A small museum at the Ochs Overlook houses items of interest for Civil War buffs.
From Point Park it is possible to access many other sites through an intricate maze of trails on Lookout Mountain. Access to the trails is from Ochs Museum. You can walk to Sunset Rock, where James Longstreet watched the Union Army march unopposed into Lookout Valley during the operations associated with the Battle of Browns Ferry. (1.1 miles, easy), walk to the Cravens House, (1.5 miles, moderate) or follow the eastern rim of the mountain (1.5, easy) on the Mountain Rim Trail. This trail is exceptionally beautiful at sunrise.
Death Knell of the Confederacy. In 1863, Union and Confederate forces fought for control of Chattanooga, known as the "Gateway to the Deep South." The Confederates were victorious at nearby Chickamauga in September. However, renewed fighting in Chattanooga that November provided Union troops victory and control of the city. After the fighting, a Confederate soldier ominously wrote, "This...is the death-knell of the Confederacy."
A unit of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park located on Lookout Mountain. The site of the Civil War battle commonly referred to as "The Battle Above the Clouds." The newly renovated visitor center houses a 33' by 13' mural painted by James Walker, an eyewitness to the battle, and has several short audio-visual presentations about the painting and battles for Chattanooga.

I made this photograph in incredibly windy conditions. (I can hear other Point Reyes regulars saying, "duh!" at this point...) It was the kind of afternoon when no tripod is sturdy enough to really hold the camera still - so I waited and shot during relative lulls in the gale. If you look closely at the lower right corner you can see sea lions hauled out on the beach.
