The Point

I saw Ballast Point described somewhere as the thumb of the Point Loma peninsula. So, I was standing at the thumb when I took this photo and I thought about what an outstanding landmark the Point is and how fortunate we are to have the Cabrillo National Park and Monument there. (I haven't been watching the Ken Burns series on National Parks - the run of the show on KPBS ends this weekend). Here are two other views of the point - one from Midtown and one from Coronado beach.
