Iris at sunrise : Fort Bragg, CAWe stopped for the night in Fort Bragg, California. If you haven't traveled north of San Francisco, Mendocino and Fort Bragg are the places to go. The latter is especially down-to-earth and accessible to all kinds of people. (Mendocino is picturesque and lovely, but tends to be a little snootier than blue-collar Fort Bragg.) It use to be a logging town and Georgia-Pacific still has a presence there, but most of the town's commerce seems to be tourism.

There are good places to eat and some fun shopping. The town also boasts a former garbage dump on the ocean (no, they no longer dump trash into the sea, but they once did) where you can find sea glass in abundance. We skipped that, but did enjoy good eats at the Egghead Restaurant. I highly recommend Dorothy's Revenge--Eggs Benedict with dungeness crab layered between the Canadian bacon and the poached eggs. Yummy.

As always you photos are amazing, I never thought to try artistic photographs of Bull Kelp. But wow, your pictures are gorgeous.
Beautiful shots. I guess you do better on your own than with me tagging along...
Your photos are getting more organic and expansive at the same time. Gorgeous!
Cele: Thanks! I learn by observing others. Maya's ability to frame and crop as she photographs is one of the things I admire about her work, so I tried it out with the Bull kelp shot. Who knew sea foam and kelp could end up looking so good?!
Maya: Thank you. And that's not true...
Lacochran: Wow. Thanks! That's a great compliment. *blush*
Notice you skipped straight to the food! Great photos of the light and shadows on the sand. Glad you've found time to finish your travel adventures off before your new adventure :)
