Been a while since I last posted, so I felt like sharing a recent trip of mine! Last month I went to the San Francisco bay area for a week, and during my trip I ventured out to Half Moon Bay. People around San Jose rave about how awesome the beaches are in Santa Cruz, but I found them to be overcrowded and not really that special. So visiting the beach at Half Moon Bay was a pleasant surprise; there were few people, the beach pleasant, and the weather warm (Okay, okay, maybe it's just because I'm a Canadian and February isn't a popular beach month for them Californians).
As usual, I bring my camera pretty much everywhere, and I think these shots turned out quite nice! But if you've been following me, you know I have a bit of an obsession with the Pacific Ocean, so my opinion might be a bit biased. :) One day I want to see the ocean from the other side, but until that day, the west coast of North America will have to suffice. So, on to the photos!
A Bench to View the Horizon
This cute little bench on the cliffs in front of the beach was precariously perched on the edge, giving a nice view over the horizon.
Steep Cliffs
The sandstone cliffs that run all along this beach give a pretty great view no matter where you stand! Just, y'know, don't fall.
Crashing Waves
Windy days usually aren't fun, but warm and windy at the beach? Yes please! The waves were out in full force, just to make it fun for me.
Too Close!
Another thing you might know about me by now, is that I like my accidental subjects! Off she goes to take a picture of the crashing waves -- and I get a nice shot capturing the moment.
Sandstone Dunes
Looking up at the sandstone dunes, it's pretty cool to see the lines in them, a remnant of the past. Apparently they also can crumble, so I probably wouldn't want to walk right underneath them...
A Walk Along the Beach
Off we go, a long walk on the beach, seemingly forever into the distance, as we travel together in search of the unknown~
That's all for today! For those of you interested: Camera is Sony NEX-7, with my usual Zeiss 16-70mm lens.
Click an image to enlarge! They are, of course, down-sampled from my original copies; we can chat if you're interested in any full quality versions. As always, these are my original photos, and I maintain the copyright.
Don't forget to if you like my blog, I like to post picture stories!
Smooth be like
Still love you smooth :)

The one where the woman is taking a pic of the waves coming in... I'm betting she got SOAKED and knocked on her ass. Great pics of a beautiful beach. I personally like it when there aren't a lot of people wearing unfortunate bathing suits.

Hi there :) I just wanted to let you know that I've been happy being a part of your trail. I am temporarily dropping off because my voting power is down significantly and during this experimental time I would really like to see what my vote can do at a hundred percent. Plus where I live is being hit by a blizzard so I have ample time to do my own curating for a couple of days. I will re hitch to your wagon again soon. Thanks!

No problem! Followers come and go :) The no-whale experiment has giving the average user much more influence in voting, so it makes it easier to reward people you like.

Beautiful pictures of Cali's coast. I camped in Big Sur a couple years ago and there's trails that take you to from the top of the golden grass hills down to the beach and hidden coves. Beautiful country, nice seeing these photos.
