WOW, love all the little boats in the harbour! We have just had all the tall ships here for a while, schooners, baroques, and I wish I had taken some photo's of them. But we live so far from the sea, so we only got to watch them on Idiot Box in the corner of the room! I do remember seeing them once, but I must have been about 10 at the time,but I remember how fantastic they all were.
I lived in Monterey for many years while in the Army at Ft Ord.. those were the happiest years of my adult lfe.. thanks for the walk back down that beautiful lane.. lovely picture...
Oooo man...so relaxing - just looking at it! Wish I were on a boat somewhere with a book, a glass of sweet iced tea, and a gentle breeze. Man, I drifted away there for just a sec! This is a wonderful photo!
It's pretty cool, Pat. The boats almost look like toys! In face, and I had to go back and make sure your post didn't mention that they WERE toys, you know, the remote control ones...
Beautiful and very mysterious, the tree is magnificent.

Now that is picturesque. Dare i say color would ruin it?
ReplyDeleteAh yes, my favorite spot in CA. I love the dark-light contrast with the tree and background.
