View to the south from Nepenthe, Big Sur
Photo taken in October, 2019 on a misty day. The Big Sur restaurant Nepenthe is one of the favorite stops along the Pacific Coast Highway in Central California. A cabin that was originally on the site was once owned by Orson Welles and Rita Hayworth, who bought it on a whim and never returned to it. The restaurant, designed by a Rowan Maiden, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright, was built adjacent to the three room cabin and opened in 1949. It became a favorite of writers, artists, entertainers and tourists, some of the former being Arthur Miller, Anais Nin and Ernest Hemingway.
