Remnants of an old pier, the only visual remains of a once booming, Salmon canning industry.
Dating back to the turn of the century.
Washington (State)--Point Roberts
Well over a hundred years ago, this would have been a busy fishing port.
Today, we can only imagine the sights of the heavily loaded fishing vessels tied up alongside this pier, and the hardworking employees bustling the catch of the day, up and down the pier.
On the horizon you will have left USA waters and entered Canadian waters, BC Canada
On a closer look you may see the perched Seagulls

Point Roberts is a pene-exclave of the United States on the southernmost tip of the Tsawwassen Peninsula, south of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The area, which had a population of 1,314 at the 2010 census, is reached by land by traveling 25 mi (40 km) through Canada. It is a census-designated place (CDP) in Whatcom County, Washington with a post office, and a ZIP Code of 98281. Direct sea and air connections with the U.S. are available across Boundary Bay.
Point Roberts was created when the United Kingdom and the United States settled the Pacific Northwest American-Canadian border dispute in the mid-19th century with the Oregon Treaty. Both parties agreed the 49th parallel would delineate both countries' territories, but they overlooked the small area that incorporates Point Roberts (south of the 49th parallel). Questions about ceding the territory to the United Kingdom and later to Canada have been raised since its creation but its status has remained unchanged.

The Grand Canyon (Hopi: Ongtupqa; Yavapai: Wi:kaʼi:la, Navajo: Tsékooh Hatsoh, Spanish: Gran Cañón) is a steep-sided canyon carved by the Colorado River in Arizona, United States. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,093 feet or 1,857 meters). The canyon and adjacent rim are contained within Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. President Theodore Roosevelt was a major proponent of preservation of the Grand Canyon area, and visited it on numerous occasions to hunt and enjoy the scenery.
Nearly two billion years of Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While some aspects about the history of incision of the canyon are debated by geologists, several recent studies support the hypothesis that the Colorado River established its course through the area about 5 to 6 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River has driven the down-cutting of the tributaries and retreat of the cliffs, simultaneously deepening and widening the canyon. (Wikipedia)
This breath taking evening scene was viewed near the Visitor Centre, which is on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Another Milky Way Panoramic from my May 2016 trip to the USA

Location: June Lake, CA

The Milky Way in all it's created splendor rose above the Mountains surrounding June Lake Village ..amidst an innumerable ocean of stars.
And all that beauty was reflecting in Lake 'June Lake, which was almost as 'clear as a mirror'
...It was as if I witnessed.. 'Heaven's canopy'

----In the last week during my 'almost 3 weeks' USA trip through the state of California, I stayed at June Lake east of Yosemite National Park. I had planned that location in my trip to have at least a location accessible for some clear nights if Yosemite happened to be closed during snowfall or bad weather.
The beautiful location of June Lake, with almost no light pollution at the horizon or anywhere near June Lake, (except for some light from the small village itself), turned out to be the perfect location for me.
With 4 incredible nights of clear skies It ended up being an Amazing last stargazing week of my trip, in which I was able to capture the Stunning Milky Way in all it's glory.
Walking around June Lake Village and the Stunning Lake itself, I was able to see The Milky Way with my own eyes like I've never experienced it before!
But True High point was without a doubt the last night at the lake..
"Standing there as one man alone, in total darkness staring up at God's Infinite Creation, peacefully capturing it's beauty I got multiple visitations from groups of wild deer and even a Mountain lion
--Clearly aware of, but not at all disturbed by me walking around with my camera gear, they (the deer) even approached me till up to 65 feet!
It was... "Unforgettable.."
After getting the hand of another way of editing my Milky Way photo's, I went back and re-edited one of my Fav' Milky Way shots from my May 2016 trip to the USA .

"Bald Eagle and Ice Patterns" by Patti Deters. An American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) stands on the partially frozen Mississippi River near St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. The icy surface displays interesting patterns and reflections, mimicking the colors of the dark and white feathers of the eagle - though the raptor would have no idea of the beauty of the scene. He has been standing on the ice for quite some time, hunting the open sections of water for any fish that might swim too near the surface. This is one of several similar photographs, some of which can be found at the links below. Thank you for viewing this picture.

"Eagle Nabs a Fish- Vertical" by Patti Deters. An American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is seen as he lifts off right after catching a fish from the partially frozen Mississippi River near St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. His great yellow orange talons are still showing as his powerful wings carry him off to eat his prey. Representing freedom and power, this magnificent creature is the National Bird of the United States and is found all around North America. They are easy birds to identify with their distinctive white heads and tailfeathers, large brown wings, and yellow beak. They are raptors (birds of prey) and are also sometimes called sea eagles.

"Bald Eagle and a Frozen River" by Patti Deters. An American Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) stands with wings raised as he surveys open puddles on the partially frozen Mississippi River near St. Paul, Minnesota, USA. The icy surface displays interesting patterns and reflections, mimicking the colors of the dark and white feathers of the eagle. After standing on the ice, watching the open sections for fish to swim near the surface, the raptor raised his wings as if to stretch a bit, then settled back down to continue his hunt.

I was most striken by how long the shoreline was at Pismo Beach, I've been on Cali beaches my whole life but you never usually see that wall of white go so far back, usually there's a small shoreline area that you can walk into, then a dip into hell if you take a step too far. But this beach... This looks like you could go out pretty far before you couldn't touch anymore.
Personally, I'll be waiting until the water is more then 40 degrees to see for myself.
Wedding at dawn, 08/08/08, 8:00AM, Trunk bay, St. John Island, US Virgin Islands.
One more paradisiac beach I had the luck to came across. And, to my surprise, in the center of the beach (see photo note), a wedding was going on at... 8:00AM??? Were they creative or just nuts? Only a few days later, checking the Exif data of these images, I noticed the combination of date and time and I recalled the mystic around the 8. And I surely can not blame them for the place, it would be difficult to find better.

This dam is located 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada.
This Lincoln Continental was used in transporting John F Kennedy around Washington D.C.. It is now featured in The Auto Collections at The Quad Resort in Las Vegas.
