Mid-Coast Meandering

Pico Blanco

From Gilroy to Carmel and a bit of bobbling about inland

Pico Blanco is the only name I could find for this peak, and I found it on an old USGS map. It was shot from the beach at Molera Point while I was making an audio recording ot the waves there.

I don't know if I would want to park my tractor there, but the curvature of the roof is so inviting...

Forelorn Tankhouse

The old tank house seems to be leaning away from the friendly pepper tree. is it weary of the company?

I don't know what they are supposed to be called but I like to call this a "sloughing hill" The green hillside seems like it cold have been 20% taller and over the millennia it's & pieces have realaxed their hold & slid down a bit more

San Benito benito is over to the left right in front of that range back there... It isn't more that a dozen homes or so. A small town.

The road ended a bit beyond here. These hills will probably be golden and dry by May.

This sturdy tankhouse is missing the cladding on the south side. Iwonder if they needed the boards for the fence?

Some of the beautiful cliffs at Point Lobos.

Round Rocks in Strata

At the tip of Point Lobos there some interesting strata. You will see a layer of Sandstone and then another layer of these rounded river rocks and then another of sandstone... over and over again. What exactly is the story here? river, beach, river, beach? Millions of years of curiosity drive me onward.

Snapshot of Bobcat

I was walking into the hills when I discovered I was sharing the trail with a young bobcat. I wasn't prepared to take any pictures So I had to stealthily take off the back pack & remove the camera... "what's all that racket?" the Bobcat said.

Wildlands of San Francisco
May 26, 2016
It is all around us and it is relentless. Right now it is working at destroying our homes and cities. While we sleep at night it is tirelessly toiling away. Overcoming everything we know. Everything we have made. Everything we will ever do. There is no escape. We are in a symbiotic relationship with it. We love it deeply and without it we will die. Yet in the long run, our species will be gone and it will overrun this world until all life is gone and there is nothing left but a burnt ember orbiting the Sun.
Some Humble Abodes

There are uncounted scads of really nice Victorian houses in San Francisco and if I was to take pictures of the best of them I couldn't afford the film... er... hard drive space. Besides, San Francisco has many more syles of houses beyond Victorians. This a selection of a few that I have shot in the past month or so.

California's Lost Coast
May 07, 2016
There is an area of California known as the Lost Coast. Somewhere north of Fort Bragg, south of Ferndale and west of highway 101. There are a few ways to get there but fewer people who will tell you how. Some places you can drive to, much of it is accessable only by foot if at all. It is one of the remaining places that Sasquatch can run free.
