Coastal Vistas

This coastal scene is in northern Mendocino county, north of Fort Bragg. This is a remote area, near the Lost Coast just to the north. Highway 1 winds...and we do mean winds...past farms, along cliffs, through fields of wildflowers, and covers a spectacular stretch of shoreline.







Queen Anne's lace is normally a mundane plant, but in the coastal forest under the right light, it's beautiful.












Farther south, on the Marin headlands, the hills plunge into the sea. You enjoy spectacular views of the ocean, the cliffs, and... San Francisco!
