Point Cabrillo is named after the Spanish explorer Juan RodrÃguez Cabrillo, although Cabrillo's voyage of exploration along the California coast did not reach as far north as the point.
Point Cabrillo Lighthouse was established in 1909, displaying a 3rd Order Standard Lens and Air Sirens. It is located about 1.5 miles south of Fort Bragg, California. With the exception of a small barn, all original buildings stand unaltered. In 1935, an air diaphone supertyfone sound signal was installed. The United States Coast Guard manned the station until 1973, when the lens was covered and a modern rotating beacon was mounted on a metal stand on the roof west of the lantern room. In 1991 the light station was added to the National Register of Historic Places. It has been a California State Park since 2002.
Snow coming into north central Arizona at a place known as Sunset Point, which, like the famous Zabriski Point in Death Valley is not a point of land in the water,but an observation point with a fine view.
Point Abino Lighthouse, built 1917. The light was last turned on in 1993. This lighthouse was built to replace the old Buffalo lightship which was lost at sea in 1913.
Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located in Death Valley National Park in the United States noted for its erosional landscape. It is composed of sediments from Furnace Creek Lake, which dried up 5 million years ago — long before Death Valley came into existence. The name Zabriskie comes from Christian Brevoort Zabriskie, who in the early 20th century was the vice-president and general manager of the Pacific Coast Borax Company, whose famous twenty mule teams were used to transport borax from the company's mining operations in Death Valley.

Point Fermin Lighthouse. Point Fermin Lighthouse was the lighthouse for the Port of Los Angeles from 1874 to 1942. As an aid to navigation, it guided ships around the Point Fermin cliff sand and into San Pedro harbor. It was built in 1874 when Phineas Banning was dredging a navigable channel to Wilmington and developing San Pedro harbor as an ocean port.
Point Fermin Lighthouse is designed in the Stick Style popular at the time and used for several other contemporary lighthouses. (Long before Mission Revival came into being.) With all the Victorian gingerbread it is a very cute structure indeed. The lighthouse was in operation until 1942. It was tended by lighthouse keepers who lived with their families in the lower section of the lighthouse. During World War II, radar gear replaced the light and the building became one of the first radar stations. After the war, the lighthouse was used by the parks department for maintenance of Point Fermin Park. Point Fermin Lighthouse was restored to its original appearance in 2001 and opened to tours in 2003. 805 Paseo del Mar.

I had to jump a fence and get close to the cliff edge for these shots. The location is above the rock climbs: Piles and Cox's Overhang. When Maz did the same, she got some comments from old ladies "thats the most silliest thing I have ever seen" :-) Little do they know we do this every Monday when setting up top ropes!

Fort Point is a formerly industrial area across Fort Point Channel from Boston's Financial District. It appears to be mostly lofts now.
Fort Point, San Francisco. Typical "summer" day in San Francisco: High fog making dull, featureless gray sky and cold wind. Yep. Bring a sweater in summer in SF :)
We went to Point Lobos State Reserve which is just south of Carmel. We were about a week late for the whales which apparently came very close to the shore. Sigh. But we did see sea otters, harbour seals, pelicans and cormorants. Which was nice.

Mori Point last month. Pacifica and its pier is behind the point, with San Francisco and Mount Tamalpais beyond. Mori Point is where Harold drove his Jaguar over the cliff.
Needhams Point lighthouse is situated in the grounds of the Hilton Barbados hotel on the south-west coast of the island. It is the second oldest lighthouse in Barbados dating back to 1855. Located at the south end of Carlisle Bay, this octagonal lighthouse played an important role in guiding ships into this safe harbour. Unlike the other lighthouse in Barbados the Needhams Point lighthouse featured a stationary rather than rotating light. The lighthouse became neglected and for years was used as storage for the Hilton, and ran a serious risk of being destroyed. Not until the remodeling of the Hilton did the lighthouse escape this fate. It has been repaired and sits very close to the hotel, actually dwarfed by the hotel. But at least, it still stands.
