A Day in Violet at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse, California

It was a dark and dreary day at the Highway 1 that runs along the beautiful California coastline. The rains have been around for a long long time, and there was no sign of letting up. We just had to get away. As we crossed the Santa Cruz mountains, the rain disappeared, but the dreariness remained. There was a chill in the air, the waves were rising, the day was winding down.

It was just gray all over.

Or, was it violet?

About



Life is how you see it. A long time ago, when I used to look at life through my eyes wide open, I saw it all at the same time. The order, and the clutter. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Something changed over the last few years as I have started looking through the constraining frame of a camera viewfinder. The world is suddenly a different place. I am beginning to see things I didn’t know existed. I am able to find beauty in strange things.

I live in beautiful California. I have learned to combine the other things I enjoy most, visiting places and hiking, to photography. So I am very rarely outdoors without a camera.

There so much to see in this world.

Lets look at it together.
