Nice one, Bob, but I don't think Magellan Navigated up the Californian coast: he rounded the straight and went on to cross the Pacific.
But that does not detract from the beauty of this image showing the slight mistyness of the Californian coast in a great composition.
I looked young in 1983 too!

Hey Bob! Please don't stop going out and shooting!I know you have a treasure trove of shots, but you just might end up being indoors all the time!
A lovely shot as usual...The bit of History you mention is interesting, let me look it up!

Hello Bob.
Fantastic panoramic picture!
Another great composition with beautiful colors and outstanding light. The waters and sky are such a pleasing shade of blue.
Cheers,

Hi Bob,

Beautiful!!!! In fact it's breathtaking - my favorite kind of scene and one I don't see often. As for the workship, gee, I looked young in 1983 too.

Hello Bob,
This is a nice contrast to the rough seas you've recently shown us. I like your composition very much with the dry grasses in front bringing nice depth to the image. A lovely misty light and beautiful colours too. I like the pattern of the silvery surf on the sea. - As to the workshop - those were the days!!

Hi Bob

A very beautiful scenery, but sadly not the best weather. I'm that this place is just superb for watching a nice sunrise or sunset. However, this is not the point here.
Even so, the perspective of your shot is lovely and the depth is very nice.
Composition-wise, if i may, i might have cropped a bit of the sky, to give the impression of a much wider view. But this is a subjective matter.
Something less subjective is your looks in the WS picture...nice one! ;) (not that you wouldn't be handsome now) :)) Chuckles.

Cheers and TFS

Hi Bob,
where should I start admiring your coastal landscape shots? I begin with your last one. It shows that you had an uncanny feeling for the far horizon, for the golden rule, for the light, for atmosphere. And how you dealt with the sky, superb!
Best regards

Hi Bob,you were a good looking young man way back then!!
The Pacific is much calmer on our east coast - and I've had some great holidays on a few wonderful Pacific islands - they are so calm and peaceful too.
It must be the winds, etc that make the west coasts rougher than the east coasts on many countries - our west coast (on the Tasman Sea) is always rough and rocky, like your photo here.
TFS and for the history lesson too,
Janice

Hi Bob

Excellent composition with beautiful colours and tones. I really like the forms of the dead umbellifers at the bottom of the shot.

Hi Bob,

nice seacap picture, I like the stucture of the white waves.
Good intersting note too.


You looks like a cowboy in the workshop but no revolver but instead a camera.
I were even young too in 1983.
Maybe I shall posted sometimes also a picture in the workshop.

Hello Bob,
Again this marvellous view on this seascape. What I like in your shots are next to the beauty of this area, the very fine colours, the variety of finest blue and grey. Something for a a painter's eye.
Very American looking man in the workshop!!
Best regards

Hi Bob,

The curve of the beach is an asset to the composition. The point of view going in between the rocks like an aim toward the horizon which is giving depth to the picture. The filtered light is giving a good contrast to the colors. Have a nice day.
