Thing 5

I did pick out a fun picture from Flickr but I was not sure what to do for the copyright. So I am posting a picture I took of the Pacific Ocean with my digital camera.
This is taken on the shore of northern California, about a two hour drive north of San Francisco, very close to the small town of Gualala. This part of California is a spectacular place to visit! The ocean drive is like being on a roller coaster, but you can stop often to take in the view. I saw hundreds of seals and sea lions just hanging out. Not a place for sunning and swimming, only brave divers go in the waters here looking for abalone shells. Minutes away from the ocean edge you are in the California Red Woods; so serene and calm in comparison to the violent ocean waves. Of course, the near proximity of good wine makes this part of the world a must see in my opinion!
