Hi Jim,
What a beautiful scene! This image is a "natural" for BetterPhoto's "Where in the World?" quiz (June issue of BetterPhoto's PhotoFlash newsletter, which will be published on Thursday June 8th).
Thanks,
Kerry

Rachel E. Slepekis June 07, 2006

Great shot! And here's my guess...
....Californina. lol #2865195

Janet L. Skinner June 08, 2006

Big Sur, CA? #2868151

Cynthia Williams June 08, 2006

Maine #2868320

June 08, 2006

I would guess the Carmel/Monterey area of the Pacific coast. #2868351

Jon Erickson June 08, 2006

Marin Headlands, near Muir Beach CA #2868714

June 08, 2006

Beautiful shot.....My guess would be somewhere in coastal Washington state. #2868829

June 08, 2006

It looks like the U.S.A. West coast either southern Oregon or more likely the California shoreline around Carmel-by-the-Sea and Carmel Highlands. Very nice shot, though! #2868924

Robert L. Ashley June 08, 2006

Point Lobos. The most beautiful meeting of sea and land according to Ansel Adams. #2868970

Donna M. Paul June 08, 2006

This photo looks like it was taken in Seaside, Oregon. The rock formations at HUG POINT, Cannon Beach. #2869096

Donna M. Paul June 08, 2006

PS: When do we find out the correct answer? #2869174

June 08, 2006

Santa Barbara, CA #2869259

June 08, 2006

I'm thinking somewhere in the vicinity of Ruby Beach, near Forks, WA. #2869404

Alisha D. Schaefer June 08, 2006

I am going to go with southern Oregon Coast. #2869518

June 08, 2006

Somewher along the rock coast of Maine, possibly the southern coast? #2869633

Peter W. Marks June 08, 2006

If it isn't the Atlantic coast of Cornwall,UK, then it should be!
#2869696

Mike Hollman June 08, 2006

By the look of the trees in the background I'd say it's somewhere on the southern coast of New Zealand, possibly Fiordland. #2870202

Tammy Turner June 08, 2006

I am guessing 17 mile drive Monterey Ca.

Very inpressive!

Tammy #2870388

June 08, 2006

Awesome shot. My guess is The Galopogos (sp.) Islands? #2870549

June 08, 2006

Big Sur,CA #2870593

Donna M. Paul June 08, 2006

Looking at this photo again, I was wondering if this is somewhere in Alaska. I believe, I see a "seal" in the left side in the water (it could also be just a rock..LOL), the water is icy blue, which would be another indication of a very cold area. #2870674

June 08, 2006

I think its somewhere in New Zealand... South Island maybe ? #2870716

Pamela A. Davis June 08, 2006

How about Acadia National Park in Maine? #2870896

Tania Ballestrin June 08, 2006

It could also be somewhere along the East coast of Australia, I have seen rock formations like these in a few places. #2870967

June 08, 2006

Santa Catalina Island, California #2871868

Kris Lingle June 09, 2006

I am thinking Washington Coast. Maybe Rialto Beach or near Kalaloch #2871921

Edward SICILIANO June 09, 2006

The souther coast of Maine. #2873102

Dan Williams June 09, 2006

It looks similar to an area on the north shore of Kauai. #2873501

June 09, 2006

This is really funny. Obviously there are rocks like this at just about any place where the land meets the ocean! :-)

Linda #2875066

June 09, 2006

I'd say Ellsworth, Maine area. Or possibly New Brunswick, Canada #2876006

June 09, 2006

Oregon coast or perhaps N. California, but definitely the Pacific coast of NA. #2876072

June 11, 2006

I believe this is from Maine, my guess would be from the Acadia Park or Northward along the coast from there. Can't wait to see the answer! #2881868

June 11, 2006

This looks like it was taken in Maui, Hawaii #2882764

Kerry Drager July 03, 2006

Hi All,
Excellent guesses! For everyone who guessed California's Central Coast, you're right. Specifically, it's Pebble Beach.

Thanks, everyone, for your participation in the "Where in the World?" quiz ... and again, Jim, an awesome photo!
