Description
As Anna and I drove down HWY 1, we stopped anywhere and everywhere. This looks south over Monterey Bay, that's Monterey itself on the far side. It's a beautiful coastline, something different at every turn.

Beautiful view...
Roughness and depth feelings at the same time, exactly like the Monterey cigars ;D
Excellent landscape:)
I once took a road trip up HWY 1 from San Clemente. Ok, so I was really not paying attention to the time... Before I knew it I was far from home with Monterey in mind as a turn-around point. Didn't make it. I was turned back by the Highway Patrol because a 12 foot section of the road had fallen off into the ocean. I ended up spending a lovely night in Morro Bay instead. :-) I have made it from San Francisco to Westport, tho. It is a longer drive then driving up the valley but the view is worth it.
It's a gorgeous coastline! Wonderful shot.
Fantastic!!
Always great to see new parts of your world!
Think these dunes were on Fort Ord real estate when I lived in Monterey years ago...but that's all changed...no more Fort Ord, so think these dunes are accessible once more. US troops practiced for D-Day amphibious operations on these beaches...prior to landings in Europe, the Phillipines and the Islands of the South Pacific.
Very nice Maz, love the POV!
Love that California coastline view! Great shot!
nice work
nice place for a look and a thought wonderful capture warm hug with a smile, Linda
lovely capture and beautifull colors x
A lovely capture of a lovely place, a serene oasis isolated from the mind numbing chaos of everyday life.
a nice sweep to the shot, and nice contrast between the sands and the background hills & water...you have the dunes meeting up with the hills in the far left, a nice 'coming together', nice packed visual music. I like the darker hue of it all too. (We have dunes in Indiana, and they're pretty big for a land bound state; but these are quite impressive, I must say.) the darker hue feels like winter, and also a little like the wild ocean it really is...nice moody feeling to it...
Beautiful tranquil scene Marilyn!
I could spend hours wandering the dunes! If only the tide would cooperate!
