Moore Cove Falls is a 50ft (15.25m) waterfall in the Pisgah National Forest near Brevard, North Carolina. The falls flow over an overhanging bluff that allows visitors to walk behind the falls. During my visit in mid-October, Moore Creek had dried to just more than a trickle. Nonetheless, the view was still quite beautiful.

Point Bolivar Light

Black And White Photography, Don, Photography

This old lighthouse was built in 1872 at the tip of the Bolivar Penninsula, the entrance into the ports of Galveston and Houston. The original Bolivar Light was built in 1852 and then dismantled by Confederate soldiers during the Civil War. This replacement, built of iron plate, operated for sixty years, going dark in 1933. It is one of only two iron lighthouses surviving on the Texas coast.

Today, the paint on what was, at one time, a classic red and white striped lighthouse has completely worn away, and the old iron tower is now completely black.

Hangingstones Carving

Hangingstones carvings

This is one of many prehistoric carvings on nearby Rombalds Moor in Yorkshire. They are thought to be between 6 and 7 thousand years old, but no one knows for sure. No one knows what they mean either. At present there are thought to between 400 to 450 carvings on these moors – some are simple ‘cup’ marks but many are very elaborate indeed.
