Thursday's Task a Day Late - 01/08/2020

[Douglas Sherman]

I apologize for not getting to this yesterday. Too many things got in the way. I hope I am not stepping on Kyle's Friday Focus. The task for today is to post an image of a location which is the farthest away from your home. Mine is from Prince Edward Island in Canada. Wood Islands is the port on PEI for the ferry that that takes you across the Northumberland Strait to Nova Scotia. Each of the lighthouses you see here were actually functional in the past. The main one depicted in this image is currently active.

Hey Doug....looks like your lighthouse distance beats mine by a few miles!

 

[Bob]

Ok Guys since lighthouse seem to be the theme here is one from Bar Harbor.

Sorry to bust up the lighthouse theme but my old summertime haunt at Petra is farthest for me:

Al-Khazneh:

 

[Kyle Jones]

Petra, Cairo and Sydney are all about the same distance from San Francisco, so here is one from each:

1) Petra

2) Giza

3) Sydney

 

[Ken Rennie]

I am going for the mximum distance between my home and this location. Lake Te Anau, South Island, New Zealand (11,637 miles).

Moeraki boulders, South Island, New Zealand 11,710 miles Ken

 

[Ben Egbert]

I have some old film images in Vancouver, but I never show them and don't even have scans. So the best I can do is 1100 miles from here at Sol Duc.

I guess I need to get out more! LOL Best I could do was NY NY.

The woman in the bottom center of the frame was a friend of a friend. She posed for me in this image.

[JimFox]

I am not sure which is further, Peru or the UK as my iphone won't map me a route to either.

So 1 from Peru

And one from the UK

 

[John Holbrook]

Extra-Terrestrial Highway, NV (we declined the offer of a free ride from some suspicious visitors)

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Very late to the party. One from India. And this is not the Taj Mahal. It is in the city of Aurangabad, named after Aurangzeb who built it as a resting place for this wife. Taken with a Nikon Coolpix 995 (one of my first digital camera).

Hum is it the same ?

I have never been there but it doesn't appear that this is from the same place. There is a smaller lighthouse in Doug's shot off to the right that is quite similar but if you look at the architecture there are differences. In the isolated lighthouse in Doug's shot the balcony is smaller and below the top of the sloped lighthouse walls whereas the one in yours has a more substantial set of cornice moldings at the top of the walls and the balcony above that.

Nice lighthouse shot BTW. Where was this shot?
