Even more pictures of the sun rising on the California coast… oh, yeah!

a 1

Highway one is a special bit of road…

a 2

And if you are willing to get up early enough…

a 3

You will be treated some awesome views as the sun rises.

a 4

It is a crazy, winding road, but there are hundreds of little spots where you can pull over and enjoy the view from various heights.

a 5

Sometimes you are hundreds of feet above the Pacific, and sometimes you are almost at sea level.

a 6

The changing light, the moving mists and fog, the color of the sky and drifting clouds… these are all the photographer’s friends.

a 7

Here, just South of Big Sur, the Pacific is still the cold, wild sea of Northern California.

a 8

You don’t see many palm trees around here…

a 9

Rock stacking has become a world-wide phenomenon.

a 10

See the kelp beds in the water? If you can scuba dive or skin dive in that stuff, and not hear the theme music from Jaws, you are braver than I am.

I hope you all get a chance to do this drive, at least once in your life.

    I think Jaws are about the East coast, and I’ve never seen kelp here.
    But I’m still not going to swim in the kelp bed, because I just don’t like swimming through seaweed.

    That is stunning scenery. I love the stacked rocks. Are they just balanced there or stuck down?
