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.
444 W Lake Street Chicago IL
River Point, previously known as 200 North Riverside Plaza, is a 52 story 730 ft. tall skyscraper in Chicago, Illinois, located at 444 West Lake Street. The 52-story building has 1,000,000 sq ft of floor space. It sits on air rights above active railroad tracks and as well the subway portion of the CTA Blue Line, which affected the angle of some support columns, which in turn produced the parabolic arch in the base of the building.
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.
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.

Late blue hour reflections where Middle River butts up against Locheed Martin. Back in World War II Martin Marietta seaplanes would be launched from this area. View captured from the north facing dock along Wilson Point Park.
Norfolk Southern's Office Car Special isn't a stranger to roaming the NS System, however running up the Youngstown Line? Different story. I have no recollection of when it last traversed the line but I do know that it has been a bit. Rock Point is a place i've been wanting to go to for some time now, hence me going here.

These guys are just perched on the cotton tails and the wind was wild....they were just swaying away....it was quite a lovely sight.......
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.
The land and the trees all point upwards here towards the sky. A pretty location there in Yellowstone National Park.
Per the U.S. National Park Service, "Point Reyes is the windiest place on the Pacific Coast and the second foggiest place on the North American continent." The lighthouse was built in 1870 and taken out of service in 1975. It is now part of the National Park Service. Reaching the lighthouse requires a vigorous, hilly walk and then down 308 steps. Despite this, it is an extremely popular destination for locals and visitors.
This strange object, stranded on the rocks is one of the remaining sections of the Mulberry Harbour, an eerie remnant of World War Two. A floating pontoon which bore a roadway, secretly tested at Garlieston in 1943 and used during the D-Day landings in Normandy.
The two sections stranded here lend an air of weirdness to what is already a bleak place. Brutalist in shape and industrial in appearance, they lay like shipwrecks, buffeted by tide after tide, slowly eroding away.

Le lac Saint-Point, connu anciennement sous le nom de lac de Dampvauthier, fait partie des plus grands lacs naturels de France par sa superficie. Il se situe dans le département du Doubs, au sein du massif du Jura, à une quinzaine de kilomètres de la ville de Pontarlier.
Another road shot from Georgia (www.flickr.com/photos/115540984@N02/49104292301/in/datepo...), although here we stepped out, and spend an hour or so to view this!
This probably is the most spectacular road pass that I saw in my whole life. The Gudauri pass is on the way to Kasbegi (more to come on that area later), but it was not an easy shot to make.
It took me awhile to figure out how to get rid of the sun that was getting into my lens, and the rather flat light that I saw on my finder.
I finally made an HDR composition (three shots with different light settings) and in 35 mm .The rest I did at home. The result is more a less how I saw it in real. The red in the mountain that is in the back came back to life.
Two months ago I came back from my journey over a part of the Silk Road to and through Central Asia. 4 months of traveling through 14 countries (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Iran) before I flew home from Teheran. An impressive journey in countries that are extremely beautiful, with lovely and welcoming people and diverse cultures and history.
Intense traveling with more than 20000 kilometers in our mobile home on sometimes roads that hardly could be called that way. We saw many villages and cities (some wonderful, others very ugly), countries that are transforming from the old Soviet era into something more related to older cultures and the way people live, often funded by oil readily available around the Caspian sea. We saw the amazing mountains south of the Black Sea, the wonderful Caucasus, and the high mountains in the far east close to China with peaks over 7000 meter, and not to forget the (Bulgarian) Alps!
We crossed the great steppe of Kazakhstan. a drive of at least 5000 km, the remnants of lake Aral, once one of the biggest lakes of the world, saw a rocket launch from Baikonur (this little part is Russian owned), we crossed many high mountains passes, and drove the breathtaking canyon that comes from the Pamir, beginning at ca 4500 meter, and going down for ca. 400km to an altitude of 1300 meter, driving for 100's of kilometers along the Afghan border.
And then the numerous lakes with all sorts of different colors from deep cobalt blue to turquoise, and one rare spectacle in Turkmenistan where a gas crater is burning already for more than 40 years. And finally and certainly not the least to mention an enormous amount of wonderful, hospitable and welcoming people. The woman often dressed in wonderful dresses, and bringing a lot of color in the streets of almost of all countries we visited.
A night by Collins Pool with a tiny island view, under the dazzling rise of the Southern Milky Way and the auroras.
Just as if nature had planned it, the Aurora Australis started to paint the sky in soft waves of pink, red, and yellow.
Most people know the northern lights, but our southern auroras are rarer because of how the Earth’s magnetic field interacts down here. Without as many land masses in the south, it’s a treat we don’t often get to see as brightly in the south. In fact, I didn't even realize the #auroras were that bright until I was already into my 2nd shot of this sky's pano, had I known, I would've used a wider lens...easier to stitch.
The image is a composite, the ground was shot while the moon was out while the sky was captured on the same night after the moon had set.

We made our way down to Carnsore Point Sunday to capture the night skies around the ruin of St Vogues Church. It was nice to see the skies clearing to reveal a view Comet Neowise and a shot here at 3.45am
Point Lobos State Natural Reserve has often been called “the crown jewel” of California’s 280 state parks.
