Your email was one of the best Christmas presents I have ever gotten. I ain't no Ansel, but I figure, like most folks on this list, I do love to be out making images!! So thank you AND thanks to all of you who looked and commented. Very much appreciated. As for the color wave pic, it was a shame I couldn't get closer, but it was a MONSTER tide combined with a strong storm swell. Sneaker waves were a definite worry. Emergency vehicles were all throughout the park and, with bullhorns, telling people to even stay off the paths next to the shore (where I stood just inland of). In all my trips there, I've never experienced that. So I decided to not enter the PT. LOBOS DEMILITARIZED ZONE :-) The BW is my favorite, but I was happy to just get out and work the rust out of the old system. Retirement is January 5th and then I'm simply free to do whatever I want (within spousal constraints, of course). Can't wait to point the cameras all over the place!! Again thanks to you all and may you all have holidays full of health and joy now and into the future.
