Point Lobos: A Father’s Day Visit

I’m always concerned that my daughter spends too much time on computer: chat, email, games … You know what I’m talking about if your home has a teen.  June 21, 2009 gave me a privilege to demand my daughter and my wife to go out.  Because it is Father’s Day, yeh!  My wife picked Fish Hopper in Monetary for our lunch. The seafood was awesome! Then we went to Carmel to take a walk and see a few photography galleries. At 5pm, shops there were closing. I checked the GPS to see where was the close-by beach to go. I was pointed to Point Lobos. There we go and I was surely not disappointed with the following photos captured. I was particularly happy with the last photograph creation. I promised my daughter to leave by 8pm  as I didn’t see there would be any good sunset pictures due to the thick cloud hanging there constantly. I started to pack and was about to close the trunk. Then I saw some red was turning between the thick cloud and the ocean. I immediately unpacked my equipment and rushed into the bush field just about 50 feet away and below the parking lot. With the famous cypress tree on the cliff framed in my viewfinder, I bracketed four shots every a few minutes. Finally I got the one displayed here. It was 8:20 already. “Dad, you owe me 30 minutes game permission”, claimed my daughter in the car.
