It looks like you had a beautiful day– a bit of fog (marine layer) and a bunch of sunshine. Beautiful depiction of the area. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like a terrific hike, and absolutely wonderful photos of such a beautiful place.

I don’t know why I love black and white landscapes so much. There is something so wonderful in the deepened contrast in the photos.

Heidi: Thanks – the Monterey area is one of our very favorite places anywhere.

Montucky: Thank you!

Mary: Yes, we had both weathers 🙂 We’re hoping for a sunny weekend coming up, as we will be in the area again (arranging wedding vendors)

Louise: It was doubly nice because, in an area with a very high tourist density, it seemed like mostly locals who were hiking/dog-walking here.

ScienceGuy: Me too – B&W’s great.

Splendid black and white — works so well with those rocks…
I haven’t lived there for over 40 years, but now I’m homesick for a bit of the Monterey Peninsula…

Thomas: welcome and thanks!

Donald: it’s sure a lovely area, isn’t it?

These landscapes are gorgeous! Hopefully one day I can do as well! It’s in my nature to zoom in thoughtfully but to zoom out as well? impressive!!!
