Description

Just returned from two weeks in California. I had the chance to visit both Yosemite and Monterey while I was there. I'll be slowly working my way through the 1380 photos I took, but here is one of my early favorites. This is the famous Lone Cypress on 17-mile Drive in Pebble Beach. There had been heavy clouds all day long, but the sun broke through just in time to give a warm glow to the shot.

This has to be the most photographed place on the coast. I say that because the only other place that gets photographed as much is Half Dome in Yosemite. :-) I think there is a good explanation why this is so popular, though...because it is so outrageously gorgeous. Your photograph is stunning.

Beautiful photo, with great color tones. Have visited this spot many times in the past, but never managed to get this nice a shot...

Well done. as the others have said this scene has been photographer ad infinitum but I think your work stands out. The lighting, interesting detail in the clouds and composition are all notewworthy. Well done.
