Neist Point, Duirinish, Isle of Skye: the most westerly extremity of the island.
This view is just as big a cliché as Elgol and is, almost always, crawling with photographers around sunset. Just to make my attempt slightly different, I used the NDx1000 filter to get a long enough exposure to smooth out the sea.

Another shot of Beckley Point in Plymouth, taken on an evening out with Jay Stone.
Beckley Point is Plymouth's newest student accommodation tower block and at 23 floors it's the tallest building in the South West. A lot of local people think it looks ugly and is a blot on the landscape, but at night I think it looks pretty cool.
I do like doing night time photography, I don't do enough of it but I think we're quite limited in Plymouth. We don't have lots of lit up buildings and futuristic looking skyscrapers like they do in London, so once you've shot an area here at night there aren't really many options left.

As much as I appreciated comments and feedback I would request no Awards or flashy gif comments, please. They will be deleted. Thank you.
The trigonometry point on the tower here marks the highest point on Slieve Donard and the highest point in the whole of Northern Ireland. Fantastic views! This side of the tower and wall were covered with frost but the other side was clear.
For a photo story of my hike up Slieve Donard:
Yesterday afternoon myself and my friend Carl drove up to Start Point Lighthouse near Kingsbridge in Devon. We were hoping for a decent sunset and it was looking pretty good when we got there. The lighthouse points east so normally people come here for sunrise shots. We had a lovely bit of side light from the afternoon sun which gave of a nice contrast with the shadows on the lower part of the coastline. This shot was taken at about 15:30 just after we arrived. I took quite a few photos here so I'll try not to spam you with too many of them!

Hope the group doesn't mind me uploading this image which was taken early morning whilst on holiday a couple of weeks ago. Thought the people in the distance looked like they were returning from the lost world.
Point Iroquois Light is a lighthouse on a Chippewa County bluff in the U.S. state of Michigan. Point Iroquois and its light mark the division line between Whitefish Bay and the western end of the St. Marys River, the connection between Lake Superior and other Great Lakes.
The pen is mightier than a sword, words that cut, words that unleash the captive, words that strengthen, words that enlighten, words that comfort all roll from the ball point, but for now sheath in a spiral awaiting the next time compelled to pull the weapon and make a point.
There is a point when you cannot walk away
When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the word you say
There is a point you must decide, just to do it 'cause it's right
That's when you become a point of light
There is a darkness that everyone must face
It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste
And that darkness covers everything in sight
Until it meets a single point of light
Sunset at Point Atkinson Lighthouse at the end of Lighthouse Park on the West End of West Vancouver.
Le Point Sublime est l'un des points de vue les plus beaux sur les Gorges du Verdon. Ce point de vue se trouve sur la rive droite, en dessous du village de Rougon, situé dans le département des Alpes-de-Haute-Provence et la région Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Sunset over Point Reyes Beach South. Taken from near the Point Reyes Lighthouse as the crowds of tourists headed home for the night.
The lighthouse is shining in the fog, even in the middle of the day. I could see its flash from 2 miles away. Its full range is 18 nautical miles.
The original lighthouse, built in 1855, was positioned too high at 306 feet above sea level and could not be seen through the dense high San Francisco fog, so it was moved to its current location at 124 feet above sea level in 1877. To access the new site, a 118-foot long tunnel was hand carved through hard rock. It is the only lighthouse in the U.S. that can only be reached by a suspension bridge.
… I’m assuming as this is alongside the Helford river in Cornwall that the ‘Point’ is reference to Sailing and not the points on the gate!! BTW, they are both Holiday Lets (Point & Pointside - at a price too I guess). Either way I was attracted to the nicely hand painted sign on the gate. Alan:-)

Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park, California. This erosional landscape is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up five million years ago, long before Death Valley came into existence.
Thank you for your comments,

Toward Point is the southern extremity of the Cowal Peninsula, near the village of Toward and six miles south of Dunoon, Argyll and Bute, Scotland. There has been a lighthouse here since 1812. The location is the south-west extreme point of the Highland Boundary Fault as it crosses the Scottish mainland. Toward Point Lighthouse was completed in 1812. It was built by Robert Stevenson (1772–1850) for the Cumbrae Lighthouse Trust. Two lighthouse keepers' houses were added in the later 1800s. A white building on the foreshore housed the foghorn mechanism, originally a steam engine and then diesel engines. The foghorn was taken out of operation in the 1990s. Today the buildings are a private home and not open to the public.
Sunset at Soberanes Point, Garrapata State Park, California. This was taken about 1982 on slide film and scanned today. Converting my slides to digital images has been a great project while in social isolation.
Swanage, Dorset UK.
The Wellington clock tower is a structure that stands on the seafront at Swanage in Dorset, England. It was originally built by the Commissioners for Lighting the West Division of Southwark at the southern end of London Bridge in 1854. It was intended as a memorial to the recently deceased Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, though funds proved insufficient to provide a statue of the man at the top of the tower, as had been originally intended. It housed a clock with four faces that were illuminated from within and a small telegraph office. Within 10 years the structure was overshadowed by the construction of nearby railway structures and became an obstruction to traffic using the bridge. It was disassembled in 1867.
The structure was saved by the Swanage-based contractor George Burt and shipped back to his hometown, without the clock mechanism. He gifted it to fellow contractor Thomas Docwra who erected it in the grounds of his house at Peveril Point. Later owners removed the spire in 1904, though the structure remains a prominent landmark in the town and was granted grade II protection as a listed building in 1952.

Back when you could still get this view on North Canal. If you try to get this angle in 2025, you'll be very disappointed.

Neist Point is a viewpoint on the most westerly point of Skye. Neist Point Lighthouse has been located there since 1909.
Neist Point is the most westerly point on the Duirinish peninsula on the Isle of Skye. It projects into The Minch and provides a walk and viewpoint.
Basalt at Neist Point is very similar to that at the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland. A steep path leads down from the road. Whales, dolphins, porpoises and basking shark can be seen from the point. Common seabirds include gannets, black guillemots, razorbills and European shags. Several rare plants, including saxifrages are found on the point.
