Big Sur






Exploring Morro Bay, California,  just before reaching Big Sur.

Many vistas down to the sea.

Elephant Seals at rest.  These represent only a few of the thousands that live in the area.  Many are out to sea.

They seem quite undisturbed by the many onlookers.
Pull-overs are common along the 90 mile stretch of coastal highway.

Looking down at the fog engulfing the Pacific. 

Many travel California Highway One through Big Sur.  An abundance of languages is heard at each stop.

El Pais Grande del Sur was the name given to the once unexplored wilderness south of Monterey, California.  Today, Big Sur refers to the 90-mile stretch of coastline between Carmel and San Simeon.  Electricity still does not extend the length of this coast.

An abundance of wildflowers, mountains, rocks, sea and sky.

The highway itself is a destination.




More pics to come!
