After our fun day at the Point Lobos National Reserve, we stopped at the nearby Monastery Beach to hang out a little bit and watch the sunset. It's so peaceful to hang out listening to the waves crash. The interesting thing about this beach is the sand has larger particles, almost like tiny, tiny pebbles, rather than miniscule grains of sand that you'd normally expect. BTW, it was really nice that you could park right off the highway and just walk onto the beach right there. Most other beaches we've been to have parking lots that are a slight hike away from the actual sand and surf. Too bad it isn't closer to us!

Was itching to go somewhere and have a proper photo shoot day, so I looked up things to do in Carmel and happened upon a place called Point Lobos State Reserve. Saw some cool photos on Flickr, so that's where we went last Saturday. We didn't get too far away from where we parked, but we had an awesome couple hours or so exploring the rock formations and tide pools near the spot we stopped. I think it was somewhere near Weston Beach that we spent all our time. Point Lobos is a huge park, so we barely, barely even scratched the surface of what we could do there. We'll definitely go back again sometime and get there earlier in the day so we can fit more activities in, but I was pretty content with the time we spent there that day. I snapped a few photos of this guy from far away, but as I slowly crept up closer to him (her?), he didn't seem bothered, so I got up much closer to get this shot. I still wasn't within arm's length of the bird, but it was plenty close anyway.

Really liked the golden light and the interesting texture here.

The sandstone (?) parts of the rocky shoreline looked great in the light around sunset time.

Really liked the colors of the rock in the approaching sunset's light.
Originally taken during 'Roid Week 2010 at the Alviso Marina County Park. The color of the sun and the sky in this photo just reminds me of toffee, caramel, or amber. Love the colors from 600 film!
After taking a bunch of fall color shots I was ready to go back home. Took this last Colorpack II shot on the way back to the FJ. Lovely wispy clouds! There was a really nice sunset as well, but I took a picture of that with the OneStep CloseUp camera I had with me (it had two frames of 600/779 film left).
