Whenever I'm up in the Bay area I always try to stop at Pebble Beach in San Mateo County. All of the stuff, except for the arch shot, is within 100 yards of each other.

I note that there's some variation in color temperature but the above were taken with various cameras at different dates and times of day.

WOW, a really wonderful collection of images, Warren. From viewing the photos it looks like it might be a real hot spot for those type of scenes. Thank you for taking time to share these. :wavey:

Warren, by the way, I also took a minute to hot link your url address that you had posted to make it easier for others to access the site.

Warren,

Very nice collection of images from "Pebble" beach. I really enjoyed the pools of pebble images. I like the tafoni images as well, although many of them seem a little soft; hopefully some sharpening for the web can take care of that.

Thanks for sharing. I still want to make it out there one day.

That looks like a wonderful section of beach to find interesting compositions. I particularly like the shapes, colors and textures of the image titled "groanings".
