As in my idea of what the coast looks like.

(hint: it's not white, sandy, and full of tourists)

I figured it was time to get a post up here with a photo in it, since this is a photo blog.

After many years away (nearly 30) I finally made it back to the California coast.  After having an adventure on Route 199 coming over the pass from Oregon, this is the first thing I saw then I ventured to the beach.  I still don't have a GPS for the camera, but I'm pretty certain this is the northern end of Crescent City.  I spent two days or so there exploring the late winter light with my brand new D2x.  I actually picked that camera up on the way to the airport for this trip.

Part of my motivation is also revisiting older images with new processing knowledge/technology.  And the pastel blues really grabbed my attention.  From 2005:
