Point Lobos State Preserve just outside Carmel, CA, is a place like Yosemite, where you almost expect to
see holes worn in the earth from the repeated placement of tripods. Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and
countless other photographers have wandered the trails here, listening to the surf and the sea lions, and
waiting for the moment when seeing becomes vision, that moment when great photographs are possible.
As I walked along the Cypress Grove Trail, I was struck by this curve of cypress trunk, leading my eye to
the surf beyond. An added bonus - there's a bench just next to the tree, so you can sit down and
compose the low-angle view without knee strain. I'll take it every time. This photo has a sort of
melancholy feel to me, but maybe I'm just remembering the feeling of the place.
