O.k., I'll admit -- I'm spoiled... For me, going to the ocean is as easy as getting in the car and stepping on the gas... And yes, it IS a gas -- I never get tired of it, and it is always a different experience.
On Friday I was in the mood, so off I went at 5PM -- out to one of my favorite beaches -- the south-west part of Rodeo Beach in the Marin Headlands, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge -- but a million miles away from civilization in my minds eye...
Being the unsociable hermit that I am, I enjoy avoiding the crowds... The main part of Rodeo Beach is usually littered with people and surfers, so I chose to take the steep trail to the harder to get to, but isolated portion of the beach that is normally blocked from the other end of the beach by the tides. I had a fine time snapping seabirds, glistening wet sand, foamy waters, kelp and seaweed, driftwood, and of course -- the ceaseless waves... I had a fine time...

You ARE spoiled, and I am jealous. And even knowing where to avoid the crowds. I'm not a hermit (yet), but I really do not enjoy anything about a crowd unless I'm just sitting and watching THEM. This picture is a beach begging someone to walk barefooted along it.
I'm with you all the way on that! ;)
Cheers, Klaus
Amen, brother. I don't mind talking to people until they say, "What are you photographing that for?".
The wave does look like it is exploding. Great job on exposure.
I posted a flower you might be interested in today. Let me know what you think. I didn't realize the color ranges from white to purple.
Come visit anytime,
Troy
From one "unsociable hermit" to another -- LOVE this photo! A terrific sense of movement. :)
I love where I live now but I do miss seeing that ever changing ocean everyday. Thanks for being spoiled enough to bring the pictures to me so often. I never tire of the views.
Great photograph. I just love SF for photography. I also agree about the ocean, I never tire of it.
Cheers
Oh, this is beautiful! I'm right there with you about crowds...I HATE crowds.
I went there a long, long time ago with a bunch of kids. We were all kids back then! Good times, good memories :)
My, my, I didn't realize there were so many fellow hermits and semi-hermits among the ranks of photographers. I don't suppose that suggesting we all get together and discuss how much we like to be left alone would be appropriate.
Great shot of the breaking waves, Don.
