These colorful invertebrate animals live along the California Coast and have tentacles that fluoresce, absorbing ultraviolet light and shining it back as visible light. This HDR shot uses 3 bracketed images and was taken at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Copyright: Ken Sweezey/Sweezey Pictures
Monterey Cypress, Fog. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell.
A gnarled Monterey Cypress tree tops a rocky promontory on a foggy morning at Point Lobos.
Finally, this should be the last in the four-photograph series of images that focus on this gnarled and weathered tree standing on top of a rocky prominence along the exposed north shore of Point Lobos. The tree is always impressive, but I was fortunate to catch it on a morning when persistent coastal fog was thinning and creating glowing light that was just slightly directional.
Of the four interpretations of this scene, this one fits with the earlier portrait-mode version as one of the two most conventional views. In both cases the tree is clearly the primary subject, more tightly framed in the portrait mode interpretation and including a bit more background in this landscape mode version. (The other two used wider formats and included additional elements of the larger scene — a clearer view of the white rocks and cormorants in one case, and some nearby trees in the other.)

What a nice man he is !!!..I was flying a Saudi Sheikh on our BBJ ( B737-700 )..to Monterey ...to my surprise, I ran into this very famous man in the airport lounge...he owned a couple of airplanes..and was curious as to who the private Boeing belonged to..! ...at that time he was the Mayor of Carmel
Christmas is over. Not much excitement there. I rose this morning and found myself in a Monterey mood. No problem, a quick dip in the archives provided relief. Seems like the mornings are much the same these days. I'm reminded of the words from Jackson Browne's "The Pretender:"
"And when the morning light comes streaming in, I'll get up and do it again." ......and again, and again, and again.........
Have a happy and safe day everyone.
Monterey CA
Monterey, Ca.
Quality is mediocre, as I was stopped at a light and caught this just as I needed to move as the light turned green. Windshield wasn't real clean either.
