‘We all move on the fringes of eternity and are sometimes granted vistas through the fabric of illusion. Many refuse to admit it: I feel a mystery exists. There are certain times, when, as on the whisper of the wind, there comes a clear and quiet realization that there is indeed a presence in the world, a nonhuman entity that is not necessarily inhuman.’
Ansel Adams, ‘Point Sur, Storm, Monterey County’, 1942 ..
Whale watching pictures from back in 2010 — it's a fluke (!) that I took any pictures at all...
This is historic Point Sur Lighthouse, perched on top of a volcanic rock along the northern shores of Big Sur. The area is fenced off and visits are only possible via guided tours, so I took this shot along Highway 1 while enjoying a nice pint of Fat Tire. I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!
