Asilomar Sunset
The end of a beautiful day in Monterey. This is Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove at the tip of the Monterey Peninsula, one of my favorite places to watch the sunset!

Asilomar State Beach Sunset Monterey
An amazing sunset at Asilomar State Beach in Pacific Grove, California. The Monterey Peninsula has no end of beautiful views. As the golden sunset light stretches across the beaches the show only gets better. The only real problem is choosing just one place to sit and enjoy the evening.

The Good Shepard
This is another shot from our Christmas Eve Day shoot
at Saint Angela's in Pacific Grove.
This is a nearly impossible shot. If you look at the
previous shot
you can see that there is a balcony area in front
of the very bottom of the mural. This small
alter is behind the wall under that balcony.
It was actually taken from the foot of the mural
as a panorama of nine shots and perspective
corrected after the fact.
While we were there we heard the story of how this was
supposed to be another stained glass window to match the
others around the church. But the Pastor who was working on the
project passed away unexpectedly in a traffic accident. I think
the end result is very beautiful nonetheless. The
artist is a member of the church, Jean M. Maynard.
Sometimes you can be surprised what amazing talent is lurking
right in the seat (pew?) next to you.

Pacific Grove Sunset
This is from a couple of nights ago. It was a beautiful evening. Of course right at this very spot the wind was almost strong enough to knock me over at one point. But it was still very beautiful. I'm posing it a bit late (it's not actually the 28th anymore I know!) but I do have a bunch of trip shots to get online. Unfortunately the trip was too short with too many cool things to do. With a couple of projects going now that we are back in town, I'm keeping my system busy processing photos. But I'll get new things online as fast as possible.

Christmas Eve at Saint Angela's
Well the holidays are over for the most part. Too quickly as usual!
But maybe it will give me a chance to share a few of the thousands of
images I've taken in the last few months.
A couple of days before Christmas we were taking pictures outside of
this beautiful little church in Pacific Grove.
They have a nice
nativity scene and we have stopped here on previous trips this time of year.
This time, however there were still people inside getting ready for Christmas.
When they saw us outside they invited us in. They were obviously working
hard on the Christmas preparations. Much like the elves in our church, it
seemed like there was always someone there working on a project.
Unfortunately they were not quite done with the Christmas decorations.
So they invited us to come back Christmas Eve day when there would be
light coming through the stained glass too.
This is one of the images from our return trip. There are many more to come!
