Early Morning—Point Lobos




There was a brisk breeze coming off the ocean and yesterday’s weather had left storm-sloshed waves breaking and crashing on the foam-stained rocks.

Mike arrived early enough so that his was the only car in the parking lot. (He’s done that before.) He decided to hike the Monterey cypress loop (something he’d never done before.)

He took a few pictures at one impressive overview, of cliffs, cypresses and waves. But, he should have taken even more, maybe even done some exposure bracketing. The best result he’s been able to extract is shown above . . . doesn’t look quite right when printed, alas.

Next time. Maybe.

Next, he noted a grouping of wild irises. Got down on his hands and knees for the flower shot.
