Apparently my camera lens needed cleaning before I visited Henry Cowell State Park, not far from Santa Cruz on the Monterey Bay. Photos never do justice to the giant redwoods, the incredible feeling of calm and smallness among the huge trees. Many of the trees in this park had been harvested years previously, with a circle of large trees growing up around the original stump.
The Santa Cruz Boardwalk in the off-season is empty, with none of the rides running. However, if one wants extremely overpriced garlic fries, the open concession will trade you some for a wad of money.
I was enticed from ocean views at Monterey Bay Academy (now much less available to the casual beach visitor) by the sight of the moon framed by trees.
Dusk in old Monterey brought on pastel hues in the sky.
