Thanks, Michelle -- not really though. I took this in 2007 when we visited our son who lives in San Luis Obispo. Would love to go back!

Thanks, too, to Bojan whose comment appeared on a stray thread:

FABULOUS BEACH SCENE bet you really enjoyed it out there.
A coastal photo trip from SD to Seattle is on the TRIPS TO DO LIST for when my brother retires. this is one that will probably take AWHILE or be split into two trips. Wives hate the driving so perhaps they will meet us someplace along the way for some West Coast time.

Happy Shooting
