| Pt. Reyes Lighthouse |
|
|
I took a drive over to Point Reyes on a Saturday afternoon--a hot day inland but quite cool along the coast. I arrived about 5:00pm. There were only a very few people along the road to the lighthouse this late in the day but the light was wonderful.

| Coastal Patterns, Big Sur |
|
It's easy to get hypnotized by the wave action far below the pull-outs on Highway one. I stood atop a rock for several minutes watching the wave patterns change and change again, never repeating. I wonder how many tourists inadvertently pitch over the precipice into the drink, having become pleasantly mezmerized by the wave-play far below their feet.
Photo taken at Bixby Bridge, Big Sur, looking south.

| Boisterous Evening Waves, Big Sur |
|
The waves rolled in with increasing strength as the sun went down, and as their strength increased so did the wave-generated mist in the air, which added itself to the summer haze.

| Evening Breakers, Rocky Point |
|
As I shot this view I wondered if the folks living in the house at upper right had come to like the constant, distant thunder of the waves pounding their doorstep night and day.

| Mcway Falls, Julia Pfeiffer Big Sur Park |
|
|
McWay Falls is a beautiful and popular stopping place on Highway 1. This is probably because it's only a very short walk from the parking lot to the overlook, which is equipped with convenient boardwalks and vantage points for photography. I suspect that the flowers in the foreground of this photo were also imported for the photographers.

| Promontory, Near Mcway Falls, Big Sur |
|
|
I liked the abstract quality of this view, which is a feature of the exceptionally high contrast between the sun-mirroring water and the dark, rocky promontory that intrudes into it.
