“…the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.”

That’s what landscape artist Francis McComas  said about this spot along the Pacific Ocean Coastline at Carmel, California.  Point Lobos State Natural Reserve became part of California’s State Park system in 1933. They only allow 150 vehicles in the park at any given time in order to preserve its tranquility.

    It really looks wild, with the swirling clouds, mist, and crashing breakers.

      I’d love to retire in the Carmel area, even Carmel Valley is very pretty and lush

    What an incredibly beautiful spot, I’m so glad it is a park. That first shot with the streaks of clouds and turquoise water is amazing!

      I like that spot. That’s about the spot where I did the 1 minute video
