Beautiful detail, tones, lighting and background, Michelle. Thank you for commenting on my Bowling Ball Beach image. It is is off of Highway 1 in Northern California, 3 miles south of Pt Arena. It is unmarked but directions are online. I was scared, not in condition for the "ladder", but with husband's guidance I made it fine! I am going to see if I can find a picture of that ladder! Thanks again! #10326439
