Point Lobos State Natural Reserve

California, Ocean, Pacific Ocean, video

Possibly “The crown jewel of the California State Park System”, Point Lobos is about as good as it gets along California’s coastline. Landscape Painter Francis McComas called Point Lobos “the greatest meeting of land and water in the world.”

Located at Carmel, the park is highly protected because of its natural wonders, above and below the surface of the water.

California, Ocean, Pacific Ocean

That’s a line from the Van Morrison song “Brand New Day” That’s the feeling I get whenever I make my annual trek to California’s Pacific Ocean coastline. From Cambria up to Carmel, the surf was high and the sky was eclectic.

Because of the pandemic, I didn’t travel much or explore new places. So my images this year were few and far between. Enjoy the slide show. Watch in HiDef at Full Screen.

Implementing longer exposures with your camera can get you to a different level with your photography. It’s fun, creative and heavenly but you’ll need a tripod and a filter or two.
