Pacific Coast Sunset
One day while we were in Monterey we took a drive
down Highway 1. It was a hazy day, but that made
for a nice sunset. As we got higher on the side of
the mountain it looked like we were above a layer
of clouds that was hugging the water. With a little
luck I will have some photos of that... as soon as
I get the other 23 rolls of film developed. :-D
The bright spot at the left of the photo that initially looks like
the sun is actually a lens flare. The sun is out of the frame.
Because of the haze, including the sun in the shot made a
large fuzzy bright area rather than a nice sunset shot.

Gold Coast Sunset
I just got back from a trip to Carmel and Monterey.
It was a much needed vacation, it's been over two years
since my last one. I had a great time, although I did
find out that my Hound Dog's idea of a vacation
is a long morning walk at about 6:30am (we normally try to
sleep in.)
Those morning walks did give me a great opportunity to
explore with my camera though. I shot over 38 rolls
of photos while I was there, it was very relaxing.
Of course, quantity by no means equals quality, but I hope
to have a few nice shots for the site anyway! :-D
You be the judge!
This shot is from a drive down Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway) in the late afternoon
on a hazy day. The haze and low sun made a beautiful golden glow.
And, it was a particularly windy day, a few rain showers had just passed through
which made for some nice waves.
