The Mendocino Coast
Picture: Seastacks, morning light, and fog along the coast near Elk, Mendocino County, California

The morning this was taken, I woke up in Fort Bragg under such heavy coastal fog that it was actually drizzling. Those of us that have lived along or near the coast know what I mean. Yet just a few miles inland, the state was under an Indian Summer heat wave with crystal blue skies. As I left Fort Bragg and headed south towards home along Highway 1, I eventually broke through the all-obscuring fog, and was rewarded with this scene coming around a corner. Yeah, like I wasn’t gonna stop and take a picture.

This is a very fine image. Funny I never noticed this place before, maybe it was always socked in, or I was just not in photography mode in those days. I have driven that coast a number of times because my uncle lived in Pt. Arena.
