Gawd, the California coast is beautiful! I went to the left coast about a half an hour from San Francisco. Here are some ocean photos. I have so many, it's nuts! I also have photos of the city, the marine reserve, and a couple of other places I want to share. For now, enjoy coming there with me through these, OK?

powerful powerful powerful
and then it stops
and becomes gentle sand.
cowboys prove that coast is reachable.


looks good, doreen. And your shots are so clear (oh, i'm not wearing glasses - could be they're ridiculously blurry and i'd never know!)

My god!!! That sure beats Virginia Beach all to hell doesn't it!!!
One of my dreams is to experience the west coast one day, especially a sunset on the beach. I have seen the sun rise on the east coast but the sun set on a beach can only be seen in the west. Damn!!!

lucked out with some clear days
was told it's more often fogged in
san fran shots coming soon
thanks for going to the ocean
with me, judih! (maybe some day
for real!)

Ducky, yeah so totally awesome, huh?
I love Virginia Beach but this.... well THIS
just blew me away! No comparison.

doreen: wow!!! hermosas playas!!!

s-duck: about the sun thing I thought right like you when I went to the pacific coast in Chile, then I was tired to have the sun in front of the eyes each time I looked to the sea in the afternoons until more or less 9 pm (atlantic condicionamiento, maybe!)

Duckmon
I can watch the sunrise over Tampa Bay in the morning
then ten miles west can watch the sunset over the Gulf of Mexico

I camped and hiked the Oregon coast for two weeks in Sept 1979
yes sand and sweet Pacific waves for miloes then
climb vine covered cliffs, walk along picking blackberries
until the beach opens up, descend once again into soft sandy coves
thanks for sharing!!

Damn Jimbo I hadn't thought about the pan handle. I see I see said the blind duck.
I was sitting on the beach in Duck N.C. one morning just before dawn when I saw the sun though the ocean water before it actually crested the horizon. A once in a life time event. Have not seen that since. The ocean was calm and conditions were good.


Even though my water is land-locked I still see a good sun.
