Another image created on my new year’s day excursion to the coast. For me, this image captures the feel the winter on the coast: cloudy, cold and shrouded in veil of mystery.

One of my new year’s resolutions was to spend more time on my photography so I figured I should start on New Year’s Day with an excursion out to the coast. The scene struck me as very much a January day: overcast, cold and with just hints of sunset color. January is when the lights and cheer of the holidays are forgotten and what’s left is the realization that it’s a long haul till spring.

The Manhattan Bridge lives in both the literal and figurative shadow of the it’s more famous brother, the Brooklyn Bridge. The Manhattan bridge is just to the east of the Brooklyn Bridge and both make the crossing between Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Grey Whale Cove State Beach is located a few miles south of Pacifica, just beyond Devil’s Slide. I’d driven this section of Highway 1 many times but never noticed the beach. There’s a well-marked parking lot right off the highway but one can not see the beach from the road. There’s a trail and stairs that lead down to beach. Getting down is pretty easy but the stairs and be bit taxing on the way back up.
