Oh gosh, I knew I should have done my homework -- I know they call this Red Lichen, but I'm sure it has some other official name. Anyway, whatever it's called, I think it's orangy-red color on the twisted trees is dramatic.

Point Lobos has these fjord style inlets from the sea -- a perfect dwelling place for the druids and trolls.

And it's mandatory -- nobody can go to Point Lobos without snapping a shot of "The Pinnacle" plus a bit of twisted cypress.
Point Lobos is often at it's best when the sun isn't shining full-blast. I like these soft and muted colors, but look closely and you will find all sorts of little bright bits of color.

And would you believe that I shot this tree in 1963 and it looks EXACTLY the same now in 2010! I think the twisted Cypress looks like a ghost with outstretched arms.

WOW.... these photos are stunning especially the red lichen... I've never seen this before. It's amazing the twists and turns old trees make. Loved your photos!
