Going Out West

GovMule

Here's a few from a trip traveling South on the Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco. Quite an eye opener for an East coaster. Never ending beauty.

Excellent set!

"Asilomar" is so well composed with the horizontal rocks being intersected by the "reverse S" of the water/waves.

"Surfer" is outstanding with the exposure/processing.

"GG" is a wonderful take of the bridge.

Sounds like our trip out here was a good one. Thanks for sharing!

I really like the surfer, and the one of the GGB is definitely different. I don't think I have seen a shot from this vantage point.

Very nice images. Having grown up as a kid back east, I'm glad you got to enjoy our wonderful coast. The Morro Rock & Asilomar shots are my favorites. Both are very special areas. Great take on the bridge as well.

Great set. The surfer shot is outstanding!

Thanks folks. The more I look at these,the more I want to head back out West. Especially after 4 feet of snow here.
Jen,those "beads" on the Snowy Plover I believe are bands. I believe they are part of a program run by the Point Reyes Bird Observatory.
