Montana de Oro

DavidTO

It is very difficult (at least I find it hard) to really capture the beauty of Montana de Oro. Especially since I was there midday. This is not a photography trip, but a trip where I shoot when I can.

Anyway, here are some shots that come close (click on pic for EXIF):









Thanks for looking, comments welcome.

Makes me wish I were there - nothing quite like the blue of the ocean against the blue of the sky, even in harsh light.

Even in the harsh light you captured the place well. Thnxs for sharing.

Thanks, all. It's a beautiful spot. Actually where I proposed to my wife 5 years ago.

Cool shots David. I love the California coast. I can definitely sympathize with not being on a photographic trip and having to do your best with the scene you've got. I recently drove through these great sites with my family. It was a vacation trip so I couldn't really do the scoping and waiting for the right lighting. I still think the beauty of the place is good enough to make up for it. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks. Yeah, it can be frustrating to be so close yet so far away. Yet, I have a family for a reason, right?

There's more here if your'e interested...
