Here are some more seascapes and imagea of the west coast. The pictures document trips up and down the coast. Starting from the south and working North,  
I'll start with a photo of the jetty and light house at the entrance to LA Harbor: San Pedro.

Moving North to Big Sur, this captures the amazing color of the water at midday.

Further up the coast at Point Lobos a nice shot of China Cove.

 Continuing up to Carmel a shot of the coast off of 17 mile drive.

At Sunset Beach a shot of shore birds in late winter light.

Also at Sunset Beach, man and dog at play.

Next Stop La Selva Beach and a fine cloud scape.

 Just up the road at Seacliff Beach is a cement ship and pier that gets caught in some schizoid light.

 Last stop, British Colombia and a winter boat shot.

Last but not least a view of small harbor on Vancouver Island.

Greetings.  I am new to this site and appreciate the opportunity to share pics.
