Mirlo Tower & Mini-Tee

I wish I could visit inside sometime.
"The 'Stone Tower' was bt by the Palos Verdes Homes Association in 1926 from the plans of the architect Clarence E. Howard submitted in Nov. 1925. Intended for a gated entrance located on Parkland, it was deeded to Palos Verdes Estates in 1939 and has been occupied by various tenants to maintain and preserve the tower." - RPV Historical Society plaque

'J' is for Joshua Tree (abc Wednesday)

This Yucca brevifolia is by the Crystalair Soaring Field in Llano. It's my calendar shot of a less then attractive yucca species. However, the Joshua tree is one way to know that you are in a Southern California desert.

Lighthouse with Palms - Pt. Vicente
It must be time for another view of the Pt. Vicente Lighthouse.
"Today Point Vicence Light still sends out its beacon across the Catalina Channel. Electronic sensors and automated controls have replaced the lighthouse keeper and activate the fog horn. Far from abandoned, the housing facility is home to regular Coast Guard personnel assigned to nearby ships, stations and offices. The former radio center is now manned by volunteer civilian members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary who are responsible for the lighthouse in addition to tracking distress calls from boaters in the Catalina Channel. The radio center also tracks Auxiliary aircraft patrolling offshore waters on weekends."

Station Fire Smoke Cloud over Llano, CA
Crystalaire Airport, on the north side of the San Gabriel Mts at 2:30 pm, on Saturday 9-5-09, looking east. The smoke cloud, moved in over the airport at about 11:00 am, and the soaring had to be cancelled for the rest of the day. Ron, who's been soaring here off and on for 40 years, said this was the first time they had to shut down due to smoke.
