Cali Coastline

Wandering along the Cali coastline, from San Diego to San Francisco, with a few slipped in from a venture in Oregon.

Perfect morning to catch some waves, Ecola State Park, Oregon

Cormorants roosting for the evening, La Jolla

In for the night, La Jolla Cove

Couldn't decide which version of this image I liked better, the orange glow of sodium streetlamps or the more neutral feel of my speed light.  La Jolla Cove

Patterns in the sand, San Diego

Ocean fog rolling in, Southern Oregon

Misty morning at Ecola State Park, Oregon

A good night's rest

10,000' Up to 200' Below - White Mountains to Death Valley

 At 10,000 feet up in the White mountains, high above the tree line, these ancient bristlecone pines have been documented to live up 5,000+ years, making them the world's oldest living organism.   

 After running around through the Inyo forest for awhile, I headed down into the Eureka Valley, 

to visit the tallest sand dunes in the US, looming 700 ft over the dry lake they inhabit.

 The Racetrack Playa in Death Valley, unfortunately, the strange phenomena that occurs here with the sailing stones is nearly at an end due to assholes stealing souvenirs.

 

A long road home....

Oceano and the Hurst Castle

Some pics from a lovely trip up north with Shayla. Wandering around Ocean Dunes and riding ATV'S, then up to San Simeon for elephant seals and the Hurst Castle.  Awesome weekend getaway playing in the fog.
