Been awhile since I've ridden this bike. Cruised down to Fort Point to see if there was any action going on in the water... nada. Low tide = VW Beetle size rocks to smash your head into.
An old granite quarry is now filled with (fresh) water at the North East corner of Cape Ann, Halibut Point. The rocks in the center slope gently on the other side to the Atlantic Ocean, and on the horizon if you zoom in, you can see the coasts of New Hampshire and Maine.

Trégunc [tʁegœ̃] est une commune du département du Finistère, dans la région Bretagne, en France. C'est l'une des communes les plus grandes du Finistère, qui regroupe de nombreux villages ou hameaux. On peut mentionner plusieurs plages de sable fin, une zone naturelle protégée pour la faune et la flore autour des marais de Trévignon.
La commune de Trégunc est située sur le littoral Atlantique, dans le Finistère, au sud de Concarneau et à l'ouest de Pont-Aven. Le Bourg, situé à l'intérieur des terres, occupe une position excentrée au nord de la commune. La côte est constituée de plages et de pointes rocheuses.
Entre les pointes de la Jument, à l'ouest, et de Trévignon, à l'est, la côte est basse et forme un cordon dunaire rectiligne de 6 km de long. Plusieurs étangs, en fait des marais maritimes, appelés localement loc'h, se sont créés à l'arrière de ce cordon sableux. Les plus importants se nomment Loc'h Louargar et Loc'h Coziou. Il s'agit d'une zone naturelle protégée depuis 1982 où les eaux salées et douces provenant de la mer et des cours d'eau côtiers se mélangent. À l'est de la pointe de Trévignon, s'étendent des falaises et des plages plus courtes : plage de Trez Cao, plage de Don, plage de Kersidan.
Trévignon
La pointe de Trévignon, sur laquelle se dresse une villa-château (propriété privée), s'avance dans l'océan en direction du sud-ouest, et constitue le point le plus au sud de la commune de Trégunc1. Le port de Trévignon est protégé par une jetée équipée d’un phare. En son centre une construction sur pilotis abrite le canot de la SNSM. La pointe de Trévignon est entourée de petites plages et constitue le point de départ pour la visite de la zone naturelle protégée des étangs de Trévignon.
La seigneurie de Kergunus appartenait depuis le XIVe siècle aux seigneurs de Kerymerch (en Bannalec), puis à la famille de Guer à partir de 1603. Un membre de cette famille, Alain de Guer, devint en 1657 marquis de Pont-Callec ; son petit-fils, Chrysogone-Clément de Guer, troisième marquis de Pont-Callec, fut l'un des meneurs de la Conspiration de Pontcallec. Cette seigneurie avait un pouvoir de juridiction (au moins de basse justice), qui subsistait encore en 17894.
Les vestiges du vieux château fortifié de Kergunus ont été retrouvés « à un kilomètre au nord du bourg de Trégunc, à 400 mètres au-delà du grand menhir de Kerangallou, [dans] le bois taillis de Kergunus » à la suite d'un abattage de bois par le chanoine Jean-Marie Abgrall en 19065.
« La forme générale de l'enceinte est un pentagone irrégulier, se rapprochant plutôt du triangle ; la longueur intérieure de ce qu'on pourrait appeler l'axe est de 50 m ; la largeur maxima, 37 m. Cette enceinte est formée de retranchements de terre, avec douves au sud-ouest et au sud, retranchements qui en certains points ont 5, 6 ou 7 m de hauteur au-dessus du fond des douves. (...) Aux angles ouest, nord-est et sud-est sont des tours rondes de 4 m de diamètre, celle de l'ouest formant une sorte d'éperon. (...) La maçonnerie de cette tour, ainsi que celle des murs d'enceinte, est faite en moellons de gneiss micacé (...). Le mortier est simplement de l'argile ou de la terre glaise ; on ne trouve pas la moindre trace de chaux, ce qui doit faire attribuer à cet établissement une date antérieure au XIIe siècle. (...) La forteresse de Kergunus (...) n'est pas (...) une véritable motte, c'est plutôt un plateau fortifié, pris dans une sorte de promontoire qui s'avance dans le vallon. (...) Il semble que cet établissement appartient à la famille des châteaux et mottes du Xe siècle et XIe siècle5. »

Point Wilson Lighthouse at Fort Worden State Park, Port Townsend, Washington. Built in 1913 by the United States Lighthouse Service, its height of 51 feet is the tallest in Puget Sound, marking the entrance to Admiralty Inlet. The lighthouse is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Washington State Heritage Register. Still an important navigational aid today, a computer located at the Coast Guard Air Station at Port Angeles monitors the light, which was automated in 1976.
The Point Wilson Lighthouse, near Port Townsend, Washington.
It marks the mouth of the Puget Sound at Admiralty Inlet.
This lighthouse has served as an active aid to mariners since its Fourth Order Fresnel lens was first lit in 1914.
This photo has not been edited or altered in any way. It came straight out of my Ricoh GRIII just as we see it here.
The handsome devil in black standing in front of the lighthouse at the end of the kite string is your ever humble photographer - me.
I used a KITE to fly the camera.

The Point Arena Lighthouse, on the Northern California Coast.
This lighthouse replaced the original, which was destroyed in same earthquake George Lawrence documented in his pioneering KAP efforts; The San Francisco 1906 Earthquake.
This light has stood since 1908.
Unlike some lighthouses, this one looks better every time I visit. The docents, benefactors, and volunteers here are serious about their restoration and upkeep.
Do you think the wind blows here? Just look at the trees in the left for your answer. ( you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows -- apologies to Bob Dylan )
If you know where to look, you'll see the roll of duct tape I carry when I fly the Dopero.
I used a kite to fly the camera.

There was some nice wave action on the Pacific Ocean while we were exploring at Point Lobos in April, 2010. Fortunately, it was much calmer than on the preceding day, when the wind almost blew me away.
This Western vacation was a year ago, and I am reliving the trip by posting various photos on the
one-year anniversary of the day they were taken. I can only wish I were actually here again.
Photo showing Tipping Point project
Tipping Point invites us to consider our relationship with water and the need to balance how we use the world’s water resources. The installation is created using a delicate combination of glass, water, audio feedback and lighting.

"A much-photographed Tomales Bay icon, the derelict fishing boat the Point Reyes, was severely damaged by a mysterious fire early Monday morning, and comments from angry Inverness residents are burning up social media over the loss of this beloved local landmark."

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.
Bryce Canyon National Park Farview Point is appropriately named, with spectacular views of famous landmarks that make up the Grand Staircase. From north to south you can see: the Aquarius Plateau (Pink Cliffs), the Kaiparowits Plateau (Grey Cliffs), Molly's Nipple (White Cliffs), and even glimpses of the Kaibab Plateau on which lies the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. These magnificent views result from Bryce Canyon's extremely high air quality, with potential visibility as far away as the Black Mesas in Arizona — up to 160 miles! Navajo Mountain, 90 miles away on the border of Utah and Arizona, can be seen on all but the worst days. While many visitors are awed by the beautiful things they see here, it is what they don't see (the haze and smog produced by particulates in the air) that is one of Bryce Canyon's most valued assets.
