elrhiarhodanDay 22 - A Photo Looking Down
March, 2004
Pacific Coast Highway, South of Big Sur, California
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
I’d been staying in Pacific Grove, near Monterey, and deciding to take a drive down US-1 (or US-101), as far as I could go and then get back before dark. This stretch of US-1 is one of the most famous drives in the world, and is instantly recognizable in car commercials. It’s also nerve racking and dangerous.
But the road is equipped with many turn-outs and I think I took advantage of most of them. Not only to calm my nerves and catch my breath, but to lose my breath over the incredible scenery. On this particular turn-out, I was convinced that there was an incredible party happening on the beach, several hundred yards below. I took a deep breath and leaned over, expecting to see dozens of teenagers.
But no, not teenagers. Sea lions. Noisy, breeding sea lions. I overcame my fear of falling to lean out a little further and snapped this picture.
