Highway 1
The Bixby Bridge unites the California coastline just South of Carmel-by-the-sea in a grand area called Big Sur. The rugged coastline is made famous by countless car commercials but to breath in the air and views from this stunning vista are something of only dreams are made of.
After countless clicks of the shutter from this PoV, I decided to head across Highway 1 to the other side to see if I could get any other angles. I hope to post more in the future of this exotic locale.
I didn't find out till after I reached home, that many base jumpers go to the middle of the bridge and take a leap off trying to land ever so gently onto the narrow beach below. Just this past January two people jumped off and died as when they landed the ocean current swept them out to sea.
This area of California has me so enthralled. If you have time and are travelling down the PCH, you must stop at the Ragged Point Inn for a quick bite and some breathtaking views of the coastline.
