Before clouds rolled in, the sunrise this morning was amazing. Carolyn André was up early, and she sent along these beautiful photos of the sunrise from The Sea Ranch.
Just lovely!
Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
High surf advisory is what we've been hearing lately. Waves have been pounding the Mendonoma Coast. It's awesome to see the power of the Pacific Ocean. Carolyn André recently photographed the big waves off of The Sea Ranch.
When mist rises from the top of waves we call them rooster tails.
Here's a particularly good rooster tail.
And the waves continue their relentless pounding of the bluffs on The Sea Ranch.
With the February rains, the bluffs have greened up, a very welcome sight after our dry January.
What a wild day on the beautiful Mendonoma Coast! Thanks to Carolyn for allowing me to share her photos with you here.
Carolyn André was near Point Arena when she pulled over to take a photo of the spectacular sky.
Drew Fagan photographed the sunset over Sail Rock.
And Don Spear captured this beautiful sunset.
There is always something beautiful to see here on the Mendonoma Coast!
Thanks to Carolyn, Drew and Don for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
The Point Arena Lighthouse is on a strip of land that is the closest land on the continental United States to the Hawaiian Islands. It is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on three sides. Kris Paden recently visited and took this photo of the lighthouse.
If you climb to the top of the lighthouse, you can look down on an interesting crater, called Devil's Punchbowl. Carolyn André recently took this photo.
This was once a small sinkhole that has steadily been enlarged by weather and the surging tides over the years.
The lighthouse is a great place to whale watch, see birds and other wildlife. To learn more about the lighthouse, here is a link to their website: http://www.pointarenalighthouse.com/index.html
Thanks to Kris and Carolyn for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
Calm, clear days followed by star-spangled nights, the winter that feels like autumn continues. Last night's sun beginning to set allowed Carolyn André to get a beautiful photo.
The sun has laid down a golden stairway across the Pacific Ocean, just lovely.
