Taken from near Cayucos, California, looking south past Morro Canyons and Atascadero State Beach to Morro Rock. #2727758

Hawaii, looks like solidified Lava flows. #2727772

I think it is the Hecta Head OR Three Arches area of the Oregon Coastline. #2727803

May 05, 2006

To me it looks like it could be Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia, Canada #2727837

Sharon F. Morris May 05, 2006

I am going to guess Maui. #2727862

Jim Gerkin May 05, 2006

I painted a picture much like this. It was from Ireland. Maybe this is too. Very relaxing photo! #2727876

Looks like the California coast to me just north of Bodega Bay. Great Photo! #2727887

Marta Azevedo May 05, 2006

there is place similar to this in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. #2727890

Joyce A. Meck May 05, 2006

My guess is somewhere in the Hawaiian chain - probably Kuaui...Great photo!! (great camera - I have the same..) #2728216

Barbara Rosner May 05, 2006

I'd guess the Na Pali coast of Kuaui. #2728259

The west coast of Ireland. #2729478

Pfeiffer Beach Area of Big Sur... Near "the eye"... gotta be there! The attached photo is a set up shot for an all day shoot I did at Pfeiffer Beach; it's the wrong angle but you can see the notch on the side of the hill looks like a perfect match. #2731445

When I saw this wonderful photo it brought back memories of Big Sur! I don't live on that coast anymore but I remember its beauty! #2735017

Robert F. Wilson May 08, 2006

I am thinking north of the Golden Gate by Sausalito . The clouds from the ocean come over the mountains that is between the ocean and the city of Sausalito. #2740481

Geraldine E. Lefoe May 11, 2006

And just to add a completely left field one - Lugano Switzerland also looks like this!
cheers Gerry #2753188

Wow! So many fantastic guesses! And the correct answer is....

Big Sur!

Great guesses, everyone! And isn't it neat that they really were all over the world map ... but those of you who said Big Sur (California coast), you are correct!

Thanks so much in taking part in this fun quiz. I enjoyed checking out all of the excellent guesses... so many beautiful coastal scenes! #2812135
