Following

Pacific ocean,

West coast of California.

We're going to take 17-Mile Drive which runs along the Pacific coast to Los Angeles.

Monterey, Carmel by the sea, Santa Barbara… “California dream”.

Monterey,

Carmel by the sea.

Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary stretches nearly 300 miles long. Offshore, the ocean hides the immense Monterey Underwater Sanctuary.

The very rugged coast is lined with cypresses, including the solitary one, the famous Lone Cypress which served as a model for the master of fine art photography , Edouard Weston .

The city of Carmel is home to a chic bohemian community of artists. Clint Eastwood was its mayor for a long time. It is home to many art galleries, including one devoted to the work of the famous photographer Edward Weston , who co-founded the f/64 group with Ansel Adams to promote their shared vision of photographic practice. The Friends of Photography organization has organized no fewer than 330 photography exhibitions in its galleries in Carmel and San Francisco.
