• Kate: they are gorgeous, I think you should be our contest winner!

  btw do you 'require' that pics submitted to you be of a certain size i.e. number of KB or MB ?

• We lived for two years on Empire Grade in Santa Cruz County with a comprehensive view of the ocean from about 3,000 ft. and I don't recall ever seeing an off shore fog bank as well delineated. Great shot Kate.

• Thanks, Jane ... but I get lots of opportunities to "show off" my photographs. I like seeing what others do. The way we see the same things differently, the perspective one chooses, all make it so interesting to hold these contests, as you and I have discussed.

  Firefighter Mike - yeah, that was pretty awesome - a "surf" of fog coming in, for sure!

  Michael Covey ... only for the contest do I want a certain size. I do request 72 dpi, as it is MUCH easier to download/upload. Also, under 1 lMB is good, anything else takes so very long, due to my internet connection. My friends regularly send me 4 MB (they don't know and can't figure out any differently) and if there are a number of them, they will take all day to download!

• It was worth the wait.

• Hi Jane, your photographs are breathtaking, photos that go straight to my heart. My favorite is the first one; sunset encompassing all. The vote is a no-brainer; you are doing what I have been wanting to do for years, but I've allowed work and life to get in the way. I think that is about to change. Thank you for the beauty. You should have 100+ votes. It is 'Pure Serenity". Good luck!!

  • Actually, these three sunset photos are mine, bigsurkate. Jane has one in the contest below. Thanks for your visit.

• Rafala: that is so sweet, thanks so much for your kind words, One person who I don't know had her friend write and said that it was like being in Heaven and reaching out to the nearby stars.

  Interestingly, I took the photo up the hills at a very spiritual place. JPM

• All so incredibly beautiful, Kate. The very second I opened on this, chimes sounded from the Buddhist temple across the meadow. I get to see pretty spectacular starry night and sunrise, sunsets here. But there's little on Earth to compete with Big Sur and the Pacific. Thanks for the view.

• these sure made a few awwwww's and huge smiles in a bleak day kate...I hope all is well with you and you are enjoying life. I think of you often and hope all is well and warm.sending you loves and hugs

• WOW.....those are really special. They say it all about Big Sur.
