Photographic Bliss

Dan Danbom sent me this shot a while back, and I’ve always wanted to post it here, even though it was taken in Monterey, rather than Big Sur.

Today, other than counting all the gunshots, and looking for campfires tonight, it is a quiet reporting day, so a good time to share this photo. And besides that, this is just a drop-dead uplifting photograph! Watch, as soon as I post this, something will happen that I will feel compelled to blog about!

  • Makes me want to run and chase the waves. Heavy sigh. O I need a "Beam me there machine, Scottie."

  • I keep coming back and staring at this. It is so different, so solid looking. Today I figured out why it intrigued me. It is like a photo of a carefully carved sculpture. To me it looks like a photo of a sculpture. I like that, really a moment in time!
