Zabriskie Point is a part of Amargosa Range located east of Death Valley in Death Valley National Park in California, 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
Located between Dead Horse Point and Island in the Sky, Marlboro Point looks out on two joined rock prominences and Shafer Canyon, with the Needles District of Canyonlands and Abajo Mountains off in the distance. The sunlit rock is mostly Wingate sandstone, deposited as massive sand dunes around 200 million years ago.
The view from Marlboro point doesn't pick up the warmest light at sunset due to a fairly close canyon rim to the west (right), but does look lovely in the golden hour light, and after sunset (or at sunrise) when clouds light up in warm colors. A storm had moved off in the early afternoon, and by sunset the sky rapidly cleared, so this was the best light I got.
The origin of the name of the point is sketchy- it doesn't appear on any official USGS documents nor is it mentioned in any of the place name sources I found. A photo in a Smithsonian web page suggests this is where the original cigarette ad was filmed, but I've found no support for that (and spent too much time looking at commercials to evaluate the claim). My guess is that someone thought this resembled "Marlboro country" and named it accordingly.
Bulb long exposure taken at sunset this past winter. Looking forward to more of these skies along the river and maybe some shots with a little snow too ;)
Tenby Point on a cloudy afternoon. This was taken early afternoon which I am finding a good time for contrasty Black and white conversion. It was humid and things were building up to thunderstorms later in the afternoon. I was using a 6 stop ND filter to get a longer exposure and smooth out the water.

A night hike led me to this view of the sandstone formations at Zabriskie Point in Death Valley National Park. In the gulch the eroded ground was very hard as if packed by a steam roller. The mounds of sandstone are off limits to hiking. So with respect to the land, I snapped some panoramas from the gulch. The moon wasn't due out for another 2.5 to 3 hours, and the wind was picking up. It was getting colder and I was getting hungry.
A 5 shot panorama of the foreground with a 12mm ultra wide lens, and 10 shot panorama of the night sky shot at 28mm (DX) lens. The sky was shot at Mojave National Preserve in April 2017. The main foreground was shot in December 2015. Edited in Lightroom, auto stitched in Microsoft ICE, and layered in Corel Paintshop.
On a clear night in Death Valley a lot of stars appear after twilight. Even in Dec when most of the Milky Way is below the horizon, it's sill visible going across the sky.
Here's a link to my Death Valley Video:
Thanks for viewing.

The Mission Point Lighthouse is located at the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula in Traverse City, Michigan. This Lake Michigan lighthouse was built in 1870.
By the mid 1850s, shipping on Grand Traverse Bay had grown substantially. A lighthouse on the northern tip of Old Mission Peninsula was needed to warn of the rocky shallow point. In 1859 Congress appropriated the funds, however the light was not completed until 1870.
The first lighthouse keeper was Jerome M. Pratt, who kept a detailed journal of passing ships. On the first day he noted 5 vessels- 2 schooners, 2 steamers and one bark. An entry in 1875, only 5 years later, listed 101 steamers and 75 sailing ships.
Mission Point Lighthouse had only 7 keepers in the 63 years it was in service. In 1933 the old lamp was decommissioned and eventually replaced by an offshore buoy light.
The Mission Point Lighthouse is located exactly on the 45th parallel or halfway between the North Pole and the Equator.
Sunderland Point is a small village in the marshland to the south of Lancaster that lies on a windswept peninsula between the River Lune and Morecambe Bay. It was originally a port for cotton and other ships, but its use declined as other nearby ports opened up.

The Point Judith Light is located on the west side of the entrance to Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island as well as the north side of the eastern entrance to Block Island Sound. The confluence of two waterways make this area busy with water traffic and the waters around Point Judith are very cold and dangerous.
The Echo Point Hut was built by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service in 1962. Sitting in the final stages of the 82 km (51 mi) Overland Track between Cradle Mountain and Lake St Clair the often bypassed wooden hut remains in service in its original state and sleeps 8 people. Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, Central Highlands, Tasmania, Australia. I am starting a new facebook page at www.facebook.com/robertdowniephotos/; please check it out.

The way the fog took over today was unreal.. I'll show you what I mean in some of the later photos or maybe this had something to do with it?
" For the romantically-inclined, there are several legends attached to the lighthouse. Most famous is that of the ghost lady who, having hurled herself into the same sea that took her sailor sweetheart, walks the tower every night awaiting his return. Explanations that the phantom is caused by reflections from the huge lens have done little to dissuade lovers from joining the lady in her somber watch."
Está situado en la isla de Skye en el punto más occidental de la misma. Fue construido en 1909 y lo han automatizado totalmente en 1990.
Recuerdo que hacía un viento de narices que ni el trípode se podía apenas sostener y mucho frio. La verdad que una vez estado allí y viendo todo este tipo de paisajes se te olvidan todas las penurias. Se pueden ver desde allí unos acantilados impresionantes.
Recomiendo ver en grande.
PD: Me marcho un par de días a Toledo así que os dejo tranquilos hasta el miércoles por lo menos :)
Gracias por todas vuestras visitas
Point Atkinson Lighthouse is a lighthouse erected on Point Atkinson, a headland in southwestern British Columbia named by Captain George Vancouver in 1792, when he was exploring the Pacific Northwest in the ship Discovery.
Point Arena Light is a lighthouse in Mendocino County, California, two miles north of Point Arena. It is approximately 130 miles north of San Francisco, in the Fort Point Group of lighthouses. The lighthouse features a small museum and gift shop. Guided tours of the light station as well as self-guided tours of the grounds are available daily. The original lighthouse, built in 1876, was heavily damaged by the San Francisco earthquake in 1906, and had to be demolished. It was subsequently rebuilt, and the current lighthouse began operation in 1908. It is 115 feet tall, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.

As I walked around the lake this Autumn leaf, on the London Plane tree on the water's edge, was backlit in the morning light and caught my eye.
Setting up for this one and a lady walked past... coffee in hand, enjoying the quiet and the moment, "Morning", was just a murmur. Fond memories of this place, years ago I did some alterations to the lighthouse.... 12 hour days... but good ones.
Met up with Adam Randell at Point Cartwright. We had hoped for a few more clouds but maybe next time. There are some amazing rock formations on the headland.

Some description in addition: you never know what awaits you on another side of the world. Departing point from/to was a journey to the place which I intuitively chose and where I got a lesson of life. Probably, this choice was mutual in respect of the law of attraction. The lesson has been accepted, and I back home not the same as I was before...
To make a point, I will never agree with racial or religious intolerance (for any race or religion). The white world is quick to judge Muslims even though white people have committed many heinous crimes themselves. And, aren't Muslims mothers too? Where has our humanity gone? When we are able to have honest conversations with ourselves and others about these things, we are ready to make a positive change.
Do no harm in this world to others and also, if you can, do no harm to animals. Enough has been done already.

The Georgina Point Lighthouse (also known as the Active Pass Lighthouse) sits at the Northern tip of Mayne Island on Georgia Strait at the entrance to Active Pass, a channel between Mayne and Galiano Island (a main ferry route from the Vancouver Area to the Victoria Area). The original light station was established in 1885, however the current light was built in 1940. The lighthouse was decomissioned in 1969. It is currently on part of the Parks Canada Gulf Islands National Park Reserve. Photos taken on July 28, 2020 from a B.C. Ferry passing by.
