My drive along the California Coast from Humboldt State Park just above Fort Bragg to San Simeon and Hearst Castle. I did spend my first night at the Mendocino Hotel;it has not changed since the early 1970's when I first paid a visit to this landmark hotel. I cut inland along the Navarro River on highway 128 to Highway 101 and the south. I picked up Highway 1 again at Pacifica just below San Francisco. I stayed the night in Big Sur. I did get to walk at Point Lobos State Park, whose beaches were made famous by Edward Weston and Ansel Adams. Some pictures of the Pigeon Point Lighthouse and a shot taken while crossing the Golden Gate Bridge.
This cove was photographed many times by Edward Weston, who was one of the principal fine art photographers in the 1930s and 1940s. He along with Ansel Adams helped define fine art Photography in the United States.
