If you travel east at the end of Point Reyes (vs. west toward the light house), you will reach Elephant Seal Overlook, the Historic Lifeboat Station, and Chimney Rock Trail. It's an incredibly beautiful area, and I don't think my photos do it justice!

| Little farmhouse out on the point. I wonder who lives there?? |

Looks like space is at a premium! The bull seals reach 16 feet in length and 6,600 lbs! The female
"cows" are much smaller at 10 feet and 2000 lbs. |

| Tule Elk are commonly seen. |

Great pictures again. Thanks for showing.
ReplyDeleteMore fog and great creatures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenery in that area. I wouldn't mind living in that house, I bet it has a great view!
ReplyDeleteIf I was going to live by the ocean that little farm house would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole lot of seals.
Nice shots in the fog.
what a gorgeous place. great shots!
ReplyDeleteInteresting how someone from elsewhere can come into your own "backyard", take pictures and you think to yourself "Hey, I've never seen this" inspite of how many times you've been there. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the trees by the farmhouse and of course the seals, elk and fog. Gorgeous area!
ReplyDeleteVery nice shots of this area. I especially liked the one of the person walking into the fog. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteWow I don't think I've ever seen elephant seals before, or that many in one scene!
ReplyDeleteLove that foggy walk and the lifeboat station... superb!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is amazing photographs. You were so lucky to see elephant seals. I have never seen them before in real life. I love how they are resting on the beach. They look so peaceful. And an elk was so nice and let you take his/ her picture. Very graceful elk. And I love also the picture of the fog and lifeboat station. Amazing picture!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed every picture very much. Thank you for sharing these unique pictures!!

Fabulous photos! The fog makes them even more atmospheric. I was also lucky to see the elephant seals on this same beach this past fall when my husband and I drove up the California coast from San Diego to San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteHi there - what a great set of pictures - I really like the way the fog changes the quality of the light.
ReplyDeleteSplendid.

The last shot of the fog is really good. Pt. Reyes is fabulous and you have more than done it justice.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! We've been to Point Reyes but haven't spent enough time to explore. It looks like we should schedule a trip.
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! Love that last moody pic with the mist.
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place to visit.
Wish you a wonderful weekend.

All very beautiful! That last one, with the fog, and looking down, is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, these are wonderful shots. The third and the last are especially beautiful and I loved seeing the wildlife. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI love the atmosphere the fog adds, and I wouldn't go near those seals. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. I Love that 3rd shot!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Love all these photos! the little house surrounded by all those twisted interesting trees is almost surreal.
ReplyDeleteLovely series of captures. The subdued colours are just so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right about shots not doing the area justice. But as a experienced photographer I can see beyond that. I would probably love that area. :) Thanks for sharing. :)
