This blog post shares more images from this magnificent coastline I made during this outing. There is even a wonderful tree!
"Point Lobos - No 1"
I finally found the time to visit Point Lobos National Preserve just by myself to make some images last weekend. I have been there quite often, but so far always with my family or visitors. And it was a treat with intriguing skies and little wind :)

A series of fog-shrouded headlands above the Pacific Ocean shoreline, Point Lobos.
This photograph comes from a lovely day at Point Lobos State Reserve. It began with very thick fog that gradually thinned, producing beautiful soft and slightly directional light that remained much longer than usual. I made this photograph somewhat early in the day, when the fog was still relatively thick and low enough to obscure the tops of promontories and trees.

Monterey Cypress, Clearing Fog. © Copyright 2023 G Dan Mitchell.
Morning fog clears around a stand of Monterey cypress trees along rocky cliffs, Point Lobos.
Shortly after my parents moved the family to California, so many decades ago, we started visiting Point Lobos. The biggest adventure in those days was exploring the tide pools. Only later did I branch out and begin to explore the rest of the park, though I was making photographs at the place before I was in high school. Let’s just say that this park and I have a very long history.

Plus I took a guided tour in one of my state parks using the park pass from the library. Completely free!

One of my favorite places to paint en plein air (outside) is Point Lobos, Monterey CA. Here are a few plein air and studio paintings (all in Oil). Looks like Mastadon has cropped the last three paintings. You may need to click to see the entire piece. #pleinair #pleinairpainting #pleinairsketch #PointLobos #seascape

From another place I have photographed for (many) decades — California's Point Lobos: "Windswept Trees, Coastal Bluffs"
This photograph is from this year, on a beautiful day when the fog cleared later than usual and I photographed along trails on the north shore.

The Partner™️ and I went for an early morning #hike at a nearby #NaturePreserve, #PointLobos. Things were awful, as you can see.
