Driving the Pacific Coast Highway is quite the experience. If you ever want to see some of the most beautiful scenery in the country I would recommend making the drive. I think it should be on everyone's bucket list.
In 2004 as the week was ending and Larry and I were getting closer to our final destination of San Francisco, we made a stop at Pigeon Point lighthouse. It was a beautiful day and we took our time enjoying the view of the great Pacific!
We turned around and were headed back to the car when I thought I would snap a few pictures of the lighthouse. I remember the angles, which seemed very odd. I thought; "how can I balance the fence with the house and the lighthouse from this angle?" And then it just clicked! I found the right angle and I think the resulting photo is beautiful! It takes me right back to that moment.
I have this enlarged and framed in my home.

I love lighthouses! There's something about the shape...
Every time you mention Larry I think for a second you are talking about me. Then of course I'm drawn into a momentary fantasy of us driving up and down the west coast seeing the sights and having fun :-)
I haven't been at light house. This pic is beautiful indeed. I so love the blue sky :)
My LoverBoy was just at this lighthouse one week ago! One of our favorites here on the Oregon Coast is the Cape Meares lighthouse near Tillamook.

And one of the scariest is actually offshore near us:

the pacific coast highway is indeed beautiful...also scary if you have a fear of heights AND if the cars/animals in the other lane DO.NOT.STAY.THERE...just sayin'
thanks for sharing a pretty picture, jim!
