Thanks Chris.Chris101 said:That's nice Joe. Is it North of Monteray, south of San Francisco?
Thanks Gordon. It's quite a drive - far too easy to take your eyes off the road.greyflash said:Driven that highway many times, you bring back old memories. Beautiful image and well done scan.
Thanks Bill. It's worth stopping every so often a taking a few shots. Not many places as pretty for a casual "Sunday drive".Retief said:We drove that road last just a few years ago. Inspires me to shoot more the next time.
Thanks, love that sky......
Thank you Melissa.Catz said:I can't believe the quality of that scanner. This picture is awesome. I have been on this road as well on vacation over this passed xmas holidays. A very nice scenic road for taking pictures.
Thanks for sharing this winner!

I did that route a year or so ago. It was a foggy morning. Burned off by early afternoon, but came back a different route. Still, a beautiful drive. I hope to do it with better weather some day.Joe Marques said:Thanks Chris.Chris101 said:That's nice Joe. Is it North of Monteray, south of San Francisco?You got the location. We were driving from SF to Monterrey and stopped every 30 minutes to shoot.
Thanks,
Joe
Thanks Harris. I look forward to making that drive again. This time I'm playing Pebble Beach when I get to Monterrey.Backdoctor said:I did that route a year or so ago. It was a foggy morning.

Hi David,DavidM said:Joe -
Gotta love those Velvia colors for landscape shots.
This is indeed a nice reminder of the past for me as well -- I remember driving the PCH a couple of times when on business trips back in the late 80s (I worked at Apple at the time and spent a lot of time in Cupertino/San Jose).
Thanks for posting!
I know what you mean Neil and couldn't agree more. I can't find anything to shoot in my backyard but send me away anywhere and I feel like a kid in a candy store.NeilCam said:<obligatory cliched joke>What's film?</obligatory cliched joke>
Funny seeing people getting sentimental about something that is about 30 miles up the road from me. I live about 400 yards off Hwy 1 (PCH) in Aptos just north of Monteray. Having said that, it is as spectacular and as varied as everyone's said. It's just hearing it being waxed over in such a way opens your eyes more to how interesting your own backyard can be.
I've often had this theory that most of us live in places that are interesting. However, because we live there we never play tourist there and therefore miss out on enjoying where we live to its maximum potential. A variation on the theme of familiarity builds contempt I guess.
Now having rambled like the lunatic I am, I'd just like to say that is a beautifully rendered image Joe! Superb colors and sharpness.

Hi Dennis,D. Kelly said:Excellent shot Joe, and very impressive scanner...makes me kind of long for the film days, Velvia is very hard to top...
We're taking that highway next week from Washington down to the redwoods...I'm planning on lots of stops, especially along the Oregon coast...I'll have to post a few when we get back. Anyway, nice to see you over here, keep posting...
