Big Sur

Point Sur

Point Sur Ligthouse and other facilities (attempting to catch the light)

Point Sur. Given it's location and shape, it's perhaps not surprising that the headland is the site of a lighthouse. The lighthouse used to be open for inspection, but has been closed (presumably after September 11th, 2001).

A closer view, with a bit of fudging to show the lighthouse. (The fudging is to add sparkle to the light. I took a number of photos attempting to actually snap one while the light was showing in this direction. None of them really worked, but this one had a little light showing. Then The Gimp worked it's magic adding 'sparkle')

Nepenthe

Nepenthe is a location and a restaurant. The views are great - when it's not foggy, as it was this day. Nepenthe is in the Big Sur region of the coast.

Although outdoor seating is available, we ended up eating inside. I don't recall why. This is the view looking south along the coast.
