Actually a tad north of Corallina Cove, sunset on the California coast. Corallina Bay is actually behind the people on the bluff left of frame but is the closest named feature to these bluffs in the Montana de Oro State Park. It’s a great place to just listen to the waves rolling in and crashing against the bluffs. The trails are easy walking but along the bluffs themselves you need to be careful as you get closer to the edge. […]
Triple Falls, in North West Arkansas, would have been more appropriately named Trickle Falls on the day I visited. Below average rainfall meant that only about one and a half of the three falls were actually flowing. This was an even easier hike than the Kings River Falls hike, not even a hike really, just a few minutes from where we parked the car.
The Kings River Falls are located near Witter in North West Arkansas. There wasn’t that much water flowing over the falls when I visited. The trip involves some driving along dirt roads – watch out for locals on tractors – and about a mile or so hike along a well worn footpath along the western river bank. It’s a pretty level hike but as I recall, one or two of the boulders on the path represented considerable steps. This is […]
Lobsters and Lighthouses, two excellent reasons to visit Maine. This is the Marshall Point Lighthouse which signals the eastern side of the southern entrance to Port Clyde harbor. In the mid 1800’s, Port Clyde was a major port with shipbuilding facilities and fish canning operations as well as supporting the shipping of granite from local quarries. Today it’s the home of the wonderfully named ‘Herring Gut Learning Center‘ which is a vital educational resource to the surrounding community. Love the […]
The Chandler River at twilight. When I took this I was on my way to Lubec, the easternmost settlement in the United States. I was a tad concerned as I’d not been able to raise any of the B&Bs in Lubec on my phone during the day as I drove up from Boston. It was a semi planned trip but it was only when I was in the car that I decided to go all the way to Lubec then […]
Bixby Bridge is one of those must stop locations on California Route 1. About 12 miles south of Carmel or 10-ish miles north of Big Sur it’s well worth the excursion to catch the sunset. The goal had been to capture the scene at twilight but just as British Rail used to complain about the wrong type of snow, we had the wrong type of clouds for what we really wanted. Maybe next time.
