Like them all. I think I like the 3rd best but the one with the bridges is a fine capture, too.

Thanks.

The second to last may well be the most "Big Sur" of the bunch, showing the curving coastline with successive headlands plus the low fog.

The bridge photograph is a scene that I've been paying attention to for years. (I wrote a bit about it at my blog today.) I first photographed in quite a few years ago and sort of thought I was done with it. But over the years I've encountered special conditions a few times that encouraged me to photograph it again. This was one of those times. I also framed it a bit differently this time — in the past I have typically tried to keep the low ridge with the fence posts out of the frame, but this time I included it.

While I was at the location in the other two photographs I made a video of the surf since it was quite a "big surf" day along the coast. I'll see if I can share it here later, too.

One more note: Not one of these is a monochrome photograph.

Dan

Thanks, folks.

Here's a link to a (somewhat low quality!) video from the morning when I made the photographs.

(Anyone know how to embed it rather than just link? Thanks.)

I really like that bridge photo. Primarily for what you kept in the foreground. Bob

Another one I just worked up — thinking both minimalist and high key, and a bit different from the others posted above.

Thanks!
