The Central Coast of California is one of several places I consider to be home. I left quite a while ago, but my parents are there, and there's something very comforting about going back. Moss Landing, Monterey, Carmel. They all have colors that soothe, and the smell of the Pacific wakes me up and invigorates me. I've told my parents after waking up and stepping out of their house, that the fresh air there "smells like morning."

These photos were all taken in Carmel and Point Lobos. Enjoy.
