Ed Hale (ERHP)  > Nature > Big Sur 09-10MAR13
I finally got tired of beating myself up for not going and headed back to Big Sur. Made it to almost El Capitan SB before the sun cleared the horizon so I stopped and wandered around there for a bit before continuing north. Spent some time around San Simeon and watched a fox 'almost' get a mallard. Heading further up the coast, the haze began to build but I wandered in a couple of stands of redwoods and visited Limekiln SP before heading even further north and doing the McWay Falls thing. Though I had wanted to do some star trails over one of the beaches, it had already been a long day so I headed for Carmel. The next day started at Point Lobos SR with a Peregrine Falcon, seals on some rocks, awesome scenery and then heavy fog. From there it was to the Andrew Molera SP for some wandering around including wading across a very cold Big Sur River to get a few shots. 'Refreshingly brisk'. From there it was heading back towards San Diego with various stops to try and capture images of the rugged coastline. Next time I do this it's going to be for a few more days.

The old adage of "Can't see the trees for the forest" comes to mind here.  Some really awesome trees though and the further you go back, the larger they seem to get, despite the optical illusion of the first two sentinels being the biggest ones of the bunch.

Rugged coastline and equally rugged trees at Point Lobos.
China Cove.
The fog was still rolling across parts of the coast but I decided to catch one of the arch and the Bixby Bridge through it anyways.
