Sound of Settling
California Pacific Coast Highway 1, near Big Sur
Azure Waves
To spend the day here would be lovely indeed.
Paradise Road
When it isn't infested with tourists and camper vans - never go on weekends, California Pacific Coast Highway 1 is a spectacular driving road. Back in 2013 I was lucky enough to drive a WRX STI on the PCH from San Francisco down to San Simeon, and it was a blast. The road is fantastic, and the scenery isn't half bad either.

I took this shot on the Salt Point Trail in the bright of daylight yet the ambiance more resembles a setting sun.

Through the Middle
A giant redwood fell over and instead of clearing the entire thing, they just cut right through it to resume the walking path.
