Monterey Part Three

Saturday morning we went to Pt. Lobos in the Carmel Highlands.. I was a little apprehensive since it was Saturday and I felt there would be too many people there... I was wrong.. it was a little overcast so the contrast range of light was perfect for photographs..This is the first view as we started to walk the .8 of a mile trail:  (Click to enlarge)

 There was tons of poison oak along the trail, but it made a great picture.

 It is very pretty when you walk the trails when there isn't any sunshine:

 I also love the way the wind has formed the trees.. I converted them to black and white:

 As you walk along you will see lots a lot of deer wandering around.:

 I went to Weston Beach but I wasn't too impressed. It might have been better later in the day when the light would be skimming across the formations.. Here is one photograph to give you an idea what it's like:

Here is another photo of myself and my significant other Yvonne taken at Weston Beach with a wide angle pt and shoot camera in my left hand..(This was taught to me by the amateur Yvonne, of course). It's fun.

There is a spot called China Cove that I took a lot of HDR photographs with my point and shoot cameras:

Here is one taken with a different camera and jazzed  up a little more in Photoshop:

The last stop was at Bird Rock.. there were very few birds there. The docent told us to come in April when the birds are migrating..I'll try and go back next year:
