So beautiful Cindy makes me want to get out and do some photography! I had this flash of inspiration yesterday to create a book of photos of sculptures and poetry. Maybe one day!
What a fantastic diversity of views you have presented here…one for every mood (and each mood containing wonder and happiness). Brilliant post Cindy, there are views of this world that truly make me take in a deep breathe and fall in love with life all over again π Cheers to a great weekend.
Astonishing photos Cindy! Where did you take them?? I can’t imagine being so high above the clouds on land. And the reflected photos were especially beautiful! xox
This is from Mt. Palomar State Park, which is quite close to The Holler and a place we go regularly to hang out with the pine trees. Have a wonderful weekend!
I was intrigued by that square, stone column by the water’s edge. Was it part of a bridge at one time? I love to think on things like that! Beautiful pictures, as always!
Good eye! It is an old generator built by a small dam. It actually has two stories, since rotted away, with closing cupboards inside and windows. It was built to see if electricity could be generated which it could not.
Above the clouds! That must have been a good hike. I love that everything looks so green. When I’ve been to California, usually after the heat of summer has disappeared, everything is brown and dry in the hills. The hubby and I are arriving in CA Oct 1, will be visiting Alys and enjoy a trip to Carmel too. xo B
That is such a pretty part of the state. Head a bit south of Carmel into the northern part of Big Sur if you feel like it. The part that wasn’t damaged by the winter storms. This is some of the most beautiful coastline in the west. We will be near you as the crow flies when you visit, but on the other side of The Sierra Nevadas, in the Eastern Sierras. Wish I could meet up with you. We could go critter searching!
Gorgeous photographs!
