San Onofre, CA

A dark, brooding sky over the Pacific Ocean in San Onofre. The strangely positioned sign directed toward the ocean tells people approaching from the water that this is a "Nuclear Exclusion Area". There are many such signs along this stretch of coastline.

    At first I thought nuclear exclusion meant excluding nuclear activities but when I saw the structures in one photo I realize it probably relates to insurance policies that will not cover damage caused by nuclear accidents. Odd to think about it amid such beautiful scenery.

    Am sure glad they closed the nuclear site, when we were passing by here on our way to San Diego! Always gave me the creeps. Awesome cloud formations and sunset!

    Whoa, beautiful pics. So I guess they have room for only one nuke? Don't bring your own. I tell Logan that certain areas are video game exclusion zones.

    That has to be one of the most 'out of place' signs I have ever heard about.

    Great pictures.

    Fantastic shots! I LOVE that first one! I'd love to know more about the power plant...is it abandoned? The fact that the San Andreas fault is there makes it a strange place to put a nuclear power plant. The beach is gorgeous! I can't get over how awesome your photos are!
