In places, the California coastline is very desolate, windy, and cold. This is one of those places, north of San Luis Obispo, where we drove and stopped for a few photos last year
I have a friend who lives in California and she has shared many beautiful photos of San Luis Obispo. In spite of being desolate, this beach would still draw me to it.
This is actually the kind of coastline I prefer. Perhaps I am just a desolate person. (And obviously this is why we like the Oregon coast better than the Florida one.) This pic looks a lot like our favorite Oregon places.
It does look cold and aloof. Although this coastline is changeable depending on weather conditions and time of day, it is always dramatic and awe-inspiring.
Thanks for visiting and leaving a comment - I love reading them and look forward to viewing your blog. If you only allow Google+ comments I won't be able to leave a comment in return.
Born in London, I've lived in The Netherlands, New York, and Washington DC. Now I've settled down in Colorado and love taking pictures. Until October 2014 I used a Nikon D40X, but now it's a Nikon D5300. I do almost no photo editing - occasionally I will crop or remove a dust spot, but that's all. What comes out of the camera is what you see here.
