King of the Hill !
How did those people get to the top of that rock ??? they must be much more agile (and youthful) than me :)

Looking the other way...

I was going to ask the same thing! It is amazing how much different the beach looks compared to here on the west coast of Florida.

well, perhaps at high tide they swam out there with all their clothes and then fell asleep and then . . . anyway...amazing shots here! We have a rock called "Spray Rock" which can be climbed at low tide. Larry did it when he was here . . . I should try and find the pic for you!

Looks better looking the other way. But. The sky sucked equally in both directions.

OMG... Jill... is this the Ritz Carlton at the top? I have stayed here... if not, It surely looks identical to where I stayed a few years ago in Dana Point, California... Stunning photo!

strange to see one big rock there on the beacht!
but it made a nice shot!
Perry McKenna (10 months ago | reply)
awesome shot. great composition and love that you included those people on top of the rock. The red shirt of one of them is a bonus.

Could there have been a ladder or something on the other side of the rock ?
Anyway , a great picture , Jill !

Um...getting up is one thing, getting down safely would be another!

That is one large rock. Seems so out of place, but very darn cool.

That looks like quite a feat to get up there! Good eye to spot them and a nice shot!

Maybe the floated up there at high tide..... and are waiting? : ) I like skies like this!
Maureen Bond (10 months ago | reply)
you can't see the ladder on the other side?
who knows, but we are so small....great view here!
ClaraDon (10 months ago | reply)
The people on the top of the rock climbed up and took a nap..........then the tide went out. So they need to wait for the tide to come back in so they can get down.
Nice shot here Jill.

Getting to the top is easier than coming back down!
I bet they are still there as we speak! :))

You KNOW they are having fun. Beautiful

The unique geology of the CA coast once again provided a great shot! These folks certainly got a piece of the rock!

eZ they used mini chopper to lift them haha.

What a great view--love the people (give you a real sense
of scale)!

A very cool beach scene, that took me a minute to realize they aren't actually on the rock (or at least I don't think they are). :)

Beautiful beach view! Jill
Happy Tuesday!

LOve this composition! Usually when we have been in Calif near the beaches there were just so many many many people!! I love capturing people tho because other wise the perspective gets lost... that is a BIG rock!! and the people on it make us KNOW it!!

Really like this view from above. You are right, it is interesting how few people will explore the area, even if for just a few feet.
ana_lee_smith (10 months ago | reply)
For a moment I thought it was Ocean Beach ...that great expanse. Love the relative emptiness of it. The tiny people atop the giant rock ..... I just accept that most people are far more athletic that I am or ever was *~*
Gorgeous perspective in the other direction too. The California coastline is incomparable.
