The pictures of Big Sur were taken w a Nikon N80 camera. I also tried my new 80-200 mm/f2.8 Nikon lens in combination with a Tamron SP AF 1.4X tele-converter which I used to capture the close-ups of the seals and sea otter in Monterey bay.

Which way is North? We hiked a trail that starts at the Bixby bridge and runs along an unpaved road. The old coast road runs for 10 miles but we turned around after a couple of miles.

On our way to Monterey we made a brief stop at Garrapata beach. The sun was trying to peak through a very cloudy and foggy sky. I captured this moment which lasted for about five minutes before the sun went into hiding again.
