Battery Point lighthouse began operation in 1856.

Coastal Oaks covered with moss in temperate rain forests.

Southern forests are much drier.

Fierce winds have bent the trees at The Point Reyes Lighthouse.

Beautiful coastal views. Sent you an email. 🙂
Will check.
Love how the trees learn to survive in the wind… despite the wind.. beautiful pictures Cindy, thank you.
Yes. I love this to. The most extreme example of this I have seen is in Ushuaia Argentina, ‘the end of the world,’ where trees sparsely grow on only one side, and are beaten by the wind, until their tips, almost touch the ground. But they are still living! დ
Am totally a member of the “life-always-finds-a-way-club”… fascinating! Thanks for all your pics!
Thank you more for your understanding.
Beautiful Cindy!
Thank you my friend & cheers to you! დდ
Hi Cindy,
we love lighthouses. We saw the Battery Point Lighthouse before in one of our lighthouse-books.
Thanks & cheers

Please enjoy these beautiful photographs from Cindy Knoke!
Wonderful photos, like taking a mini vacation. Of course I’d rather be there to hear the waves and smell the various smells 🙂
I wish you were here. Thank you very much & be well დ
Wow, beautiful! Beautiful photographs !
So appreciated. Thank you very much დ
Amazing photos!! I wish I could go there right now!!!
I wish you could too! დ
Beautiful photos as always, Cindy. You know, each time I go to your site I have to re-follow you. I don’t know why that it is, but just in case you get a new ‘trefology has followed you’ notice each week, now you know why.
I posted about this. https://cindyknoke.com/2021/06/18/i-spy/
I am touched you persevere. Thank you დ
I love rugged coasts with wind and waves. Glorious pictures, Cindy!
Incredible images! So good to see!
Love to you and yours Sheila დ

Really beautiful trees and rocks by the shore!
When you get as far coastal north as it is possible to get in Cali, you find pretty untouched magic. Love to you Sharon.
Wonder tiny herd, and gorgeous views. The lighthouse looked so privileged there on its own island.
Would your imagination love to be a lighthouse keeper on your own island? Mine would. დ
Yes, often.
დდ
Where are all of the Cali mermaids? Mermaids love crystal waters.💦
I think they are very shy and don’t like to have their photos taken, even when tipsy. დ
Not where I come from. 💦🐋
Smiling…..
Beautiful and stunning. I fell in love with California because of its Coast. It’s blessed with so many unique beaches. It’s like vacay every day off from work. Thanks.
Yes, the California Coast has so much variance from the farthest south, to mid-coast, and then to the furthest north. These are my three favorite areas of it. დ
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you ought to publish more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but typically people don’t discuss such issues. To the next! Many thanks!!
