California, 10th November, 1st stop on the Big Sur, San Carpoforo Beach

We hadn't got far north along Highway 1 before we noticed a sign for Carpoforo Beach. Not being people who pass by, we stopped the car and walked the quarter mile down by the Carpoforo creek to the sea. This involved manoeuvring round quite a large lagoon at the top of the beach and a smaller pool that was crammed with birds. The beach was very rocky and there were a couple of intrepid surfers defying the rather murky weather and tasting the waves. I was so impressed by the scenery, the rolling surf and the stormy skies I had to make some monochrome conversions of the pictures, which I will place second along with a American coot who was making her way across the sand!
