Photography of the Redwood Coast
I first visited the Redwood Coast of northern California in June 2000. This was the first of three annual vacation trips to the Bay Area and to the Mendocino/Sonoma coast. The third vacation (2002) morphed into a move, lock-stock-and-barrel, to California. After six and a half years in El Cerrito in the East Bay, we finally settled in Gualala, our new home town, in October 2008.
Whale Watch Point
More than 19,000 gray whales, as well as large pods of Orcas and smaller pods of hump back whales, pass Whale Watch Point moving south from northern waters to Baja, California beginning in November and then back northward up until end of April each year. Whale Watch Point also overlooks the town of Gualala and breath-taking Gualala Point Beach.
Mysterious, beckoning hedge rows
Sea Ranch was originally a sheep ranch, with hedge rows running west to east every mile or so to break the winds of violent winter storms.
