By the Sea

“Break, break, break, On thy cold gray stones, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1809-1892

This view by the sea was taken along beautiful 17 mile Drive in Monterey.

    I absolutely agree to Lise: have the sound of the breaking waves in my ear at once when I look at these pictures! And the quote is just wonderful.

    After your blue and green apples & oranges, a black and white sea... And that alters the idea of sun and heath that go with Monterey. That's cool, Don!

    have to concur, the Monterey Sea is a very good version of the seaside.

    The black and white gives a dramatic side to the sea, I like that.

    Done that drive many times. There's an Ansel-esque quality to that B&W shot; must be the California light! I had a friend in grad school, Sam Wang (now a prof at Princeton and NY Times op ed contributor), who because he did a lot of research on Dolphin Brains at Hopkins Marine Station rented a place in Pacific Grove.

    Complete with jumping, breaking waves! Cool ... and as usual, I love the quote, too.
