I love the running water... but I am a sucker for this type of shot
anyway...

 

It is obvious that you have done a good job with the image, and the
scanner..fabulous colors as well.

 

Nicely done..

After Yosemite in April/May, attention turned back to Big Sur. About an hour
south of the town of Big Sur is a California State Park, Lime Kiln. If you
drive in and walk down to the ocean, it's completely uninspiring. The first
time we did that and just got back in the vehicle and continued on.

 

Next time, on a tip from a co-worker, we went the other way, deep into a
beautiful redwood forest with at least 3 major streams. One ends at a 100
foot high waterfall which I didn't shoot. It's not a regular waterfall with
a couple of torrents showering down; it has about 100 little falls that fan
out from the top so the bottom of the falls is as wide as the falls are
high. Jim has some good shots of it, after climbing like a mountain goat
which I wasn't about to do.

 

Another stream goes up to the lime kilns. These are mamouth kilns built in
the late 1800s to extract lime from the limestone. There are 3 of them, each
about 30 - 40 feet high; steel turrets falling apart in these beautiful
overgrown redwood forests. How they built these monstrosoties way up on this
hill in the middle of nowhere and how they got the lime stones and resultant
lime back down is beyond me.

 

The third major stream is just a beautiful walk going nowhere; my kind of
place...

Hope you enjoy these. Certainly worth a walk if you're ever in the area,

Bob

 

P.S. - Tech stuff: Velvia 50 and FP4 taken with various combinations of
apprx. 40lbs of gear muled around on my back...
