Here are a few more shots taken from that trip we stopped at Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur.

We love the coastal scenes and the beaches the most, even though we spent a little time at the Monterey pier for lunch and a visit to the aquarium and we walked around the town of Carmel.These photos are all from my archives, I am just sitting here wishing I was on a warm sunny beach somewhere. It's gotten cold out there already and its only the beginning of November. T hanks for playing around with my guessing game and I appreciate the comments.
This is the famous Cypress Tree seen along the 17 mile scenic drive.

...I had an inkling that it was Pebble Beach, but was only there once with my aunt and uncle from the area. When I get a chance, I have to dig out the photos because I feel like I have the same shot with the tree!
ReplyDeleteKT, thanks for the visit and comment. I seeing that tree and the pretty view of the ocean. Have a great day!
DeleteI am surprised . . . Several years since I have been there . . . but how could one forget such beauty. Happy you have traveled often . . . your son with you too!
ReplyDeletehi Lynne, thanks for the comment! It is a beautiful place to visit. Hubby and I love to travel, my son is at the age now where he prefers to stay home or travel with his friends. Have a great day!
DeleteSince I haven't been there, I wouldn't have a clue where your photos were taken... I did notice that they were not in the Smokies... ha ha ....
ReplyDeleteSOMEDAY--we hope to get out there and see some of that beauty.. Thanks for sharing.

Betsy

DeleteI haven't been on that route in forever.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is a beautiful coastline.

Oh I am sure it is a wonderful drive, especially circuitous lanes along the seashore. I feel like touring with you too. It is sad that the our areas along the shores here are now occupied with man-made structures, understandable because we are a small country.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful coastline! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteVery good photo's Eileen..... nice place there.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
Such fun. I wouldn't have had a clue! I lead a sheltered life.
ReplyDeleteCheers from Cottage Country!
I had no idea where this place is but it is beautiful. That was an unforgettable trip for you. :)
ReplyDeleteSpent a week in Carmel back in 1987. Spent more time at Hog's Breath than I should have..LOL
ReplyDeleteYou were close to my neck of the woods. And looks like you hit the highlights of the area. I assume that is the Bixby Bridge in your first picture. I think it is one of the most scenic bridges in CA.
ReplyDeleteThe joy of photos and my travel diaries is being able to go back and re-visit favorite places! And it's a real bonus when it warms you up on a cold day. Beautiful posts about one of the loveliest drives in the world.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures...a wonderful favorite place to visit.
ReplyDeleteYour second shot reminds me of Lulworth Cove, in Dorset, UK. Taken there as a child I was fascinated by that opening in the rock that would, if in a boat, lead one to unknown waters ahead. This week I have followed up on my study of the sunrise, this time with the glare. I found my photo of last week's sunrise
ReplyDeletewhich actually did capture the red ball of fire that I knew I had seen! Thanks for the memory!
oh I love the Cypress tree! stunning photos :) xxo
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots of Big Sur and the cypress tree, Eileen, we are heading that way this week, just wish we would have clear skies as yours. coincidentally, my post yesterday was about this part of CA too :)
ReplyDeletefabulous views of an exciting part of the world to visit, thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteEs precioso este lugar.
ReplyDeleteLa última fotografÃa es una preciosidad.
